Avoiding the 3rd Strike, Need a Mentor

[Shell88 157]

I was here a few months ago, but had a bit of a setback. But it wouldn't be the first time.

I had a setback in August of 2012 when I was first contemplating WLS. I found out I was pregnant. So I pushed it off until I had the ability to try again. I completed all of my testing and had my surgery date the 2nd time around - Dec 11th. And then I dislocated my knee a month before surgery. So here I am, post physical therapy, only a few retests to go, and about 8 lbs to lose before I see my doctor again on Feb 25th. I didn't gain any weight during my recovery time, but I didn't lose any more either.

It's time to get motivated again. It's time to get the show on the road.

Congratulations! I would chalk that up as a PRE-OP NSV!!!

No matter what happened yesterday, no matter what mistakes you feel you made, no matter what setbacks may have been dealt to you, no matter what obstacles you struggled with, today is a new day to start fresh, to return to your journey, to do what matters, to change what needs changing, to improve upon old habits, and to get better - as you are committed to doing every day.

Stay strong and keep on pushing on...and never give up on what is important to you, even if yesterday it got further away from you. Pull it back towards you today. Stake your claim. Change your ways. Do what is right for YOU!
