Hi there!
I remember 7 weeks out and thinking....what did I do? I will never eat or enjoy food ever again. I couldn't eat much at all. I struggled to drink anything too. What helped me was blending...
Hi everyone!
This post is hitting home with me!
I went for a check-up last week and expressed my displeasure that the scale keeps going up and never goes down. I have known for about a year that I...
Thank you for that. I feel out of control. My biggest fear is gaining back the weight. I feel like I live in a state of fear about it. I am in counseling and working through the head games. Anyone...
I think the most important thing I have learned from this is that we all have negative self talk! I should celebrate the weight I have lost and not dwell on what I have put back on. I am going to...
This post has really helped me out. Thank you so much everyone.
I am almost 4 years out and 20 pounds over my goal weight. I was 15 pounds under my goal at one point...but I just want to get these...
This was not new information to me, but it really resonated with me. I can't eat much at a sitting (I am 3.5 years out)...but I sure can graze. I grazed my way back up 30 pounds. Reading this hit...
Thank you everyone. Sometimes you just need an outside eye to remind you how far you have come.
I will always be a work in progress.
I LOVE MY DOG. Thank you for noticing him. He is one of the...
Sometimes the best motivation is looking back at what you were compared to what you are. I needed that reality check. I know I can get over this last hump. I should get one more picture from the...
oh gosh! I hope you don't think I was being negative! I just wanted to give a viewpoint. It really was the best thing I have ever done for MYSELF. I am a new person, and my life has changed. I am...
I think there is safety in having what we already know. The unexpected and the drastic change is really hard to get your head around. You do have to WANT it because it isn't easy. It is one of the...
Thank you for helping me make it tangible. It is easy to get caught up in the should, would, could. Now I have a plan.
Ann always comes to the rescue.
My turn to give back now
You are right. My goals need to be SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound)
I am only drinking 2 glasses of water a day and would like to hit 8.
I am eating flavored nuts...
YAHOO!!!
Congrats to you. You've got this.
thank you. Yeah. I need to get practical and not think so extreme. I need to exercise. I need to cut down on carbs. I need to stop when I start to feel full. I need to drink water.
YES. Exactly. What a strange fear huh?
It is like I set myself up for failure because I need to be constantly losing weight. Who am I without that?!?
hi!
I am in the same boat. The fear is intense, huh?
I am going to do what Ann suggested: make a list of what I want to get back to. It sure does help to see it in front of you.
I am also going to...
I will read it both places....many many times! Thank you.
I think I figured out what is stopping me. Once I accomplish this...there is nothing left for me to "fix". This is the first time in my life...
Hi everyone
It has been quite some time since I have been here. I feel like I showed up just because I need help.
I have gained about 20 pounds, which puts me 10 pounds over my goal. I feel like a...
Thank you.
I think we are in the same boat. I lost about 160 pounds....I don't think the belly is going anywhere.
Hi there!
I put some weight back on too. I freaked out initially, but then met with my counselor and spent some time really forgiving myself.
For me...the pouch reset didn't work. It just made me...
Hi Everyone!
I haven't posted in quite some time. I hope the summer is going well for you and that you are enjoying life.
I am just going to say this....because I don't know how else to put it out...
WOW That is so amazing. I hope you are so proud of yourself. I am inspired. Thank you so much for sharing.
Hi
I didn't have to be put under for my dental implant. They gave me a pill for anxiety and then I was well numbed and didn't feel anything.
Good luck!
Hi
I had pain after eating too. I was miserable for a bit and worried that I would never want to eat again. It does go away. I had to learn how to eat really slowly. Like take a bite...walk...
I agree about the counseling. I hope that your insurance covers it. If not...is there a weight loss group you could join?
As I started to lose weight I started to see how much of it was mental for...
