Fgf: Get Pumped For 2012! What's Your Resolution?



Recommended Posts

hi all i just had my sleeve done. 12/15/11 - Heres what i want for 2012

i have many self esteem issues (others probably do too)

I had to take an early retirement.

my big hope for the new year is doing volunteer work. since i have always felt self- conscious, i didn't want to go out much

so when (not if) when i lose the weight i'll feel more comfortable in my skin to go out and volunteer , and other good stuff.

Now which came first the chicken or the egg?

Do i lose weight, so i can feel better about myself and do the volunteer work i've always wanted to do?

OR

Do i volunteer first, feel better about myself, and then lose weight?smile5.gif ROFL

They'll both make me feel terrificthumbsup.gif

kathy

This is a wonderful resolution. :) I say, start first then let the weight loss make you feel even BETTER!! Blessings.

I had to think about this for a few days...

My main resolution is to be kinder to myself and put myself first sometimes! I am breaking that down into two things...becoming active and getting my self esteem under control so I dont take everything out on my hubby!

I need to work on being motivated to be active. I have dreams of being able to run 5k's. I have asthma so its kinda hard for me to become a runner, however, Jackie Joiner Kirksey had asthma too and that didnt stop her! So... my first resolution is to run a 5k... the whole thing and do some fun stuff like play the we just dance 2 and zumba games I have. I am going to be working on my fitness!

The next part is to be kinder to my husband who is my life. I take everything out on him and he doesnt deserve that. I vow to stop doing that and being more attentive and loving. My self esteem is getting better now with the weight loss and I hope to work on my head a little and get this resolved.

I dont want to go too overboard with these so I will just make two. Maybe I can handle that! Good luck to everyone!

I resolve that 2011 will be the last year 'morbidly obese' is stamped in my medical charts.

Hi Foresikchic, those are 2 really wonderful resolutions. I am sooo on board with the Hubby thing. I love my Husband so much and I know I can go a little overboard sometimes. Thank Goodness for me he is a very patient man. ;)

Regarding the asthma - I have asthma too. I'm a runner as well. Good for you on removing that from your excuse list... I used to use that one as well. Truth be told, my asthma is even BETTER since I've started running. Pick a 5K even in the near future and start training. Once you run across that finish line, it will probably be one of the best sense of accomplishments you will ever feel. Good luck!!

I am going to sign up for my first 5k, its February 25th here in San Antonio. Thats 8 1/2 weeks away or so. I think I can do it if I dont give up after the first three weeks, like I have in the past. It just always seemed like stuff came up and I didnt get to be consistent with my running and then I just fell off the wagon after missing one or two training sessions. I am trying a new running program that is a little easier than couch to 5k- meaning it is less complicated in the amounts of time you run/walk. Maybe that will do the trick. PLUS... this time I weigh 55 pounds less!!!!!!

For the FIRST time EVER my New Year resolution will NOT be to LOSE WEIGHT OMG!!!!!!!!

I WANT TO CRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tears of Joy, of course!

I can't even wrap my head around that!

I DON'T WANT TO OR NEED TO LOSE MORE WEIGHT!!!

IT'S A MIRACLE I TELL YOU!

ANYHOO, I would love to try and accomplish a 2K...that would be a miracle for ME. I know it's possible, so yeah that's what I'm going to shoot for this 2012.

Also, try and pay off some credit cards and live debt free, aahhhh that would be nice

:)

MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL

:) Hugs!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
