Thinking before I eat is how I stay in control of me. A way for me to smile and stay focused is to play a little mind game. I name something I hope to stop doing with my weight loss and what I hope to gain.

Hope to gain--- A new shoe size. LOL. I heard that some people actually loose a shoe size with drastic weight loss. (I'm a size 11) LOL

What do you Hope to Give---Hope to Gain?

Post as many that come to mind.
