After losing 5 lbs in the first 5 days after my surgery, I expected to gain some “rebound pounds” when I finally recovered my appetite. But my weight has mostly leveled out and leaves me a scant ½ pound lighter than last week. Not great, but probably as much as can be expected. I have now been cleared for vigorous activity, but I still can’t lift anything heavier than a gallon of milk, so my exercize will still be limited. Shucks!
I'm trying to come up with a commitment to match Nancy's, but if it is at all meaningful, I am afraid I will just break it. It seems so much safer to say "I will try to do thus and such," especially when I feel so deeply encumbered by my history of weak resolve. Yet, I know that character is built when we make and keep our promises, even if they are just to ourselves, so I want to join you in some decisive act. But I can't imagine a weight loss commitment I can honestly make (except maybe to never pour bacon grease on my cheesecake). Maybe that's one of the great lessons of life, how to be less bound by our habits and history. I think I have a lot to learn in that regard.
