MichPA got a reaction from Cocoabean in Did I Mess Up Already?First and foemost everyone is different and fills affect everyone differently my fills are ALWAYS delayed by at least 2 weeks and I have had several and some have given me restriction and some have done nothing. The hardest part for me along this journey has been to accept that this is MY journey that just because someone has restriction at 2 fills and someone else has restriction at 4 cc and someone else is loosing 10# a month is not necessairly mean that I am a failure because that is not what is happening to me.
I know it is hard and I had to take a deep breathe and RELAX and enjoy the ride and as long as I knew that I was working for the band the band would work for me. This journey is NOT a sprint but rather a marathon loosing 36# in 5 months is NOTHING to be discouraged about that is an average of 7# a month right foot left foot keep doing what you are doing and you will get there.
If we focus on comparing ourselves to others we are going to miss out on the beautiful opportunities that are to be ours and ours alone. Hang in there and keep doing what you are doing, listen to your body you will know if you need to see your doc, excerise and keep a journal and enjoy the ride...
