5 Things You're Looking Forward To!



Recommended Posts

Let's hear 5 purely positive things you are looking forward to doing/trying.

Things that will reward you for all your weight loss struggles that you will have finally overcome.

Things like - "going sledding with my kids."

NOT - "Not having to watch my kids go sledding without me because I'm too fat."

Get it?

Here are mine:

Going on a long overdue trip to Vegas with my husband.

Having sex, with him on top.

Riding bikes with my kids, if they can keep up with me!

Spending too much money on clothes because everything looks great on me, even light colors!

Buying big bulky cable knit sweaters because I so often get chilly.

Maintaining a healthy weight

I have to yo-yo dieted for years, just seeing the scale keep going down is still mind blowing to me..I expect it to go back up as it always has...my mind has to catch up with my new body as I still feel like a fat girl in my head and my body is a LOT skinnier lol.

Sorry I got carried away...have been missing out on so much...

*playing with my one year old until he gets tired not I

Don't apologize!! U didnt get carried away, we all have a million things to look forward to. People of average or "thin" weight take all of these things for granted. It's amazing how such simple things in life give us so much pleasure

      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?

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! 😞
