Do you feel defeated at doctors when...

You were to lose some weight but only lost a few pounds? I feel so low. I dont know what they will say.

Don't feel discouraged. We live in a society of instant gratification, and weight loss just doesn't work like that.

It's also useful knowledge for your doctor. He can better judge how you follow directions, what works, what doesn't and he can identify resources that may push along the process a bit.

Don't feel down. Look at what you already did. And here's a secret: Happiness and peace don't have to be tied to weight or body image. If you weren't perfect, you wouldn't be here.
