There are not enough words for how much I needed to hear this right now. I'm sitting at about 10 months post-op and have only lost about 50 pounds and feel JUST LIKE the example lady. Last night I cried in the shower for the overwhelming feelings of failure and disappointment with myself and my choices. (bearing in mind that since my surgery, I changed jobs for the first time in 13+ years, my dad died suddenly, we moved, I had a big work project for the first time ever and am about to deal with another loss in the family most likely sometime this week.) I am reaching out to some other bariatric folks and hoping to find accountability. I'm also working on seeing if my husband and I can find room in the budget for me to join a local gym that offers childcare for a small price - since I will usually be unable to hit the gym without my daughter, I need to use a bit pricier of a place so childcare is offered. Anyway, I'm working on overcoming my thoughts, but it is quite a struggle and this article COMPLETELY resonates with me. THANK YOU for sharing it. <3
