I confess that it is still hard giving away my clothes that are too big. I confess I am worried about weight gain during my hospitalization after undergoing neurosurgery again for the second time in one year.

I confess I've been so stressed about surgery again that I haven't gotten in my usual Protein and Water intake over the last week.[/quote']

Hey don't give up. Start fresh....make that appt, change your eating habits start taking your vitamins, maybe get a counselor or group therapy, but don't give up. Like they say...you haven't failed until you have given up.

I feel the need to let you know that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it. We are human and we often fail ourselves. Wake up tomorrow and commit to yourself again!!!

I confess that...

  • I still mostly see myself as I looked pre-surgery.
  • I compare myself to people having better progress.
  • I don't give myself enough credit for what I have achieved (as proven by the first two confessions).
  • I do give into cravings sometimes.
  • I drink pop and Starbucks every so often. Not nearly as much as I used to, though.
  • I think about food and eating more than I should.
  • I need to be more strict in making sure I get in all of my water and protein everyday.
  • Sometimes I wish that I can keep eating after my stomach tells me to stop.
  • I am too focused on weighing myself and the number on the scale.
  • I'm afraid that I won't reach my goal.

Thank you! I am happy to say that I made it yesterday without any junk food/candy! One day at a time is all my brain can take- better eating goals to come! I did set a fitness goal!
