Need A Little Hope

[kristinmturnquist 6]

I had surgery last week and oh my Lanta, i am getting a little depressed. I keep telling myself this is going to be so worth it but dang I still hurt, can't sleep in my bed, can't eat food, and I'm by myself all day. Not to mention it hurts to get up and down and if I drop something..... Forget about it lol. Sorry guys I think I'm just a little tired and needed to vent. But don't get me wrong I look forward to the future and am so excited for this new journey!!! This IS going to be worth it, I know it

Hi Kristin,

HOPE .... You are right that is the critical piece. The Pain will get us to the surgery but I have found only Hope will carry you down the path to Victory.

"Hope in Your Future is POWER in Your PRESENT".

Seize your Victory every day.. I did and so did my sister www.300poundsdown.com and others following "30 Seconds to Victory plan."

People mistakenly think that this journey is about doing the Extraordinary but it's not... It's about doing the ORDINARY, DAILY.

I completely understand what you are saying. The first week after surgery I thought I had made a mistake. I was in pain, I could hardly eat or drink anything and my emotions were all over the place.

I made it, and so will you. I'm 6 months out and 75 pounds down. It was not easy, but you can do it!!
