Can this be done by me?!



Recommended Posts

I am freaking out a little. I said when the month started I was going to change my eating, then put it off to when kids start school, then when my husband stops being sick... ok enough! My husband is still sick but I can't be any good to him if I am unhealthy because of my choices. Wow! I can do this for myself and my family. Tomorrow I start by having a Protein Shake for Breakfast instead of Jack In The Box, and a salad for lunch! I Can do this! My new Mantra!

I'm living proof it can be done.

I sounded just like you, always tomorrow or next week.

Today is the day. You want to be healthy? I bet more than anything, you do.

It's time to take care of you!!! No one else will, its up to you.

Your profile is not filled out, so I really don't know where you are in this process, but I would suggest, eating good Protein at every meal. A salad will not hold you over, unless it has Protein in it, like chicken. Protein, protein, protein is the key to keeping full longer. Drinking lots and lots of Water will help too.

You can do this!

Sorry that you have an unwell husband, that must be stressful and stress is not helpful. Try a find a new way to relieve stress, like taking a walk, pulling weeds, cleaning something or a hobby, do not use food.

Say I can and I will because "I want this".

You sound like I use to also...

One of the hardest things through the last 2 years for me was making ME TIME and putting myself first for a change....BUT I also knew I had to be around to care for my family especially my special needs son...when my arms got shorter then my bellie was wide and I couldn't lift him any more I knew....the time was NOW...You can do it...baby steps...and put yourself first or a change ...~hugs~

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
