Overwhelming feeling of fear of failure

[sweetie__13 99]

My insurance Co. insisted that I go through a 6 month Medically Supervised Diet' date=' just so they can officially have in my record, that I am a "Bonafide Failure" when it comes to diets and dieting....therefore WLS is the only option left for me.....[/quote']

Same here! I'm so upset because I had my hope up but it's either this or another boring summer to look forward to

~hugs~ hun...

your so NOT alone...

I was so scared of failing it was one reason I did not tell people I was getting banded.....all I could see was failing yet again and ohhh what would they all say....

well now that im doing it....i am more open about telling people...

not a day or hour go by that I forget Im banded....its the best thing I have ever done for just ME yet affects so many of my loved ones....you will do just fine

You are not alone!

I have lost 50 lbs and have been banded for 5+ months and STILL worry if I will be a failure or not

Will I reach my goal?

Will I keep the weight off?

Will I lose track of my exercise regime?

I worry all the time

I am with you. I knew I had to have this surgery but as I the dieted since I was 14 years old I was scared I would fail again. I still have some weight to lose but beleive I am classed as a success having lost 80 percent of my excess weight I want to lose the rest and maintain but still a little scared I will put weight on again but I beleive that if I follow my surgeons Instructions I will live the dream of being healthy and slim x

You know I think that is a very good thing

to be worryed about all the IFs...it will keep your head in the game...

Im about 10 lbs from goal...and I worry every day...

what will I eat....will I eat slow enough...will I get my walking in....

I dont worry about them like a crazy person...but its a life change we have to always work at......good luck hun
