Heather's Swift Kick in the Bum Thread



Recommended Posts

I need help!!! I am doubting myself today SO bad!!! I feel like I can not do this.

I need someone to kick me in my butt and remind me why I had this surgery.

I am starting this thread for my own personal reasons... but anyone can chime in for a kick in the ass or to tell me what I can do.

I am going to keep track of EVERYTHING I put into my big fat mouth.

I am going to keep track of any exercise I can bring my fat butt to do.

How can you love anything else in life if you do not love yourself? Loving yourself means taking care of yourself, and that is what you are doing this for. Breathe in, breathe out, and live clean in between. And if you have had a bad day eating, guess what?? ITS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD!! You just pick up again tomorrow with a fresh start.

Hang in there girl!! You can do anything!!

I know how you feel, so I'll lecture you and myself at the same time! No normal person makes perfect food choices every single time they get to choose. Think about that. I'm thinking we'd be golden if we gave ourselves an 80% target goal: make good decisions 80% of the time. This may not sit well with the perfection crowd, but I'm not trying to be perfect; I am happy with "progress." Sorry this isn't a kick butt lecture, but it is a sanity-seeking one. You can, will and are "doing it."

I woke up feeling crummy with a cold, but I will survive it. I am really proud of all of the exercising I did yesterday. I wanted to get on the treadmill, but I plugged it in and it was LOUD!!! I will have to use that for when baby is awake!

Food:

Breakfast: strawberry banana fruit smoothie from Sonic~ 435 calories!!! (Yikes) I didn't drink it all, I got full after 2/3 of it, but I am still going to count that as the full calorie amount and I will stay away from it from now on!!! It is fat free and advertised as really healthy, has real fruit in it... but that is too many calories for a drink.

Lunch: Atkins shake ~ ? Cal (will edit later)

Supper: Rotisserie chicken from HEB and a salad?

Exercise:

~I am going to do the treadmill while my baby is awake. As soon as the weather is better I will go outside and walk with her.

~4 flights of stairs

~Thigh Master

~Stomach Crunches

~Cardio Glide

~Floor Exercises

I AM DOWN 1 POUND!!!

SO I AM AT 294.4 THIS MORNING!!!!!

Okay, as for knowing why you did this, make a reverse NSV list. List all the things you CANNOT do, then start looking at your NSVs.

The scale lies.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
