Total BS! My doc said to have your cheat days twice a month and thats it....Getting real tired of people telling me "well its ok to have this once in a while". Then you start thinking to yourself "hmm, you know thats right, I can have it once in a while". Next thing you kno, every thing ur eating becomes a "once in a while type food" lmao.
This whole summer I messed up badly, BBQ's everywhere, hangouts, drinking etc. I was trying to focus on clean eating but everyones like chill out u deserve to have sum type of fun. So thats what I did, chilled out. My mistake bc ofcourse, I had to pay the price of weight gain! (Like 5-10 pounds) Which was a set back for me bc I was only 20 pounds away from my goal and just ended up prolonging it as we all know the last 20 pounds r the HARDEST to lose.
A small stomache is a TOOL! You cannot exspect to be eating junk in small portions and believe that you will have your dream body in no time. I'm so glad I was able to get my ass back in check and get back to work! I now meet with my strength training coach 3x a week and then go to lucille roberts to take a few classes when I can. I focus on Protein Protein protein and very little carbs. Two weeks so far and Im feeling FAB! Yesterday at work we had a pizza party. Everyone had pizza and I watched them while I drank my Premier Protein shake! Someone told me "You can have a slice, one slice wont kill you" I said "It wont kill me and it wont HELP me either. Today isnt cheat day, It can wait"
I'm just feeling unstopabble and Im not tryna hear no one's peer pressure. Just thought I'd warn some of you. Dont ever get too comfortable and dont listen to others. Always do YOUR BODY good! Have a nice day

I do not miss...
1.Being out of breath! Have to stop everything just to breathe (fast heart beats)
2. Frequent headaches/ elevated blood pressure
3. Rings cant fit my finger
4. Shoes not wide enough, cant find shoes
5. Stuggling to shop bc big girl clothings arent stylish enough or are too old for me (I'm 25 my main stores were Lane Bryant, Ashley Stewart etc)
6. Clothing is wayyyyyyy to expensive (a big girls PLAIN white shirt= $25) Meanwhile next door skinny store 4 shirts for $20! lmao use to piss me off for real!!!!
NOPE, DONT MISS NONE OF THAT!

I'm just shy of 5'9".....I recall weighing 145 in my late college years and being curvy, but still having a nice figure. My doctor's staff set my weight loss goal at 155 and said I could go lower if I wanted to.
Currently weigh 163 and plan to get down to 145. I'm really good at GAINING weight, so if I am too thin at 145, I am sure I could gain a few pounds back! LOL!

Not trying to be rude but then why are you on this forum? Weight loss is not ALL about control. I think it's a little insulting to make it seem like those of us who have decided to go this route are not in control. I think the total opposite. I speak for myself but if weight loss was ALL about control and just putting the fork down then wouldn't life be so much easier. This goes without saying but obesity is a combination of things for different people. I think most people who have decided to go this route have exhausted other means. I know I have. So excuse me if I seem like I'm cherry picking but I find it counter productive for others for you to be on this site and comment on a thread about it being a control issue. In order to have this procedure we have all had to make sure this is the right thing for us. If it isn't for you that's fine...I'm glad in your case, you figured it out before you did it. If you are able to lose weight on you own BIG props too you, please don't let me knock wind out of your sails. However, don't take your victory and turn it around to make others feel like they are failing for their choices.

I'm 25 too! The only fear I had was death. But I prayed and just went for it. I actually had to do that TWICE (Lap band and gastric sleeve since I failed with the band) ItSurgury is a scary thought but if you find a skilled surgeon, it can help ease ur mind. The main thing to focus on is what can happen if you dont lose the weight? I thought about how I could have died from elevated blood pressure. Could have waited just to pack on an addional 50 pounds just to end up having a stoke. I said no thank you to the obese life, I will take my chances with the sleeve. If anything happens, I know I died trying cuz I sure did try EVERYTHING else before this (As Im sure we all have) At the end of the day, you know why u were interested in this surgury. Dont let everyone elses fears become yours. You need to do what you need to do to better your life. They will all understand in the end
By the way, your finance might feel threatend that you will want to leave him once u lose weight (partners do become a bit insecure) & for people who say "you could have done it naturally" I say "No thank you, I'll leave that for people like you to deal with, good luck with all that" lol cause seriously, if its just so easy to lose weight, why are they still big????
