Emotions! Emotions! Emotions!



Recommended Posts

So scared of changes (ever if there good ones) . Scared of changing who I am. Am I the only one that thinks like this? I'm so used to being big that I'm scared of finally getting to meet the REAL me!

I have the same exact fears also, but I know that its about me and learning who I am, and I am going to be healthy and happy!

Now that i've reached my ultimate goal I'm having alot of emotions, disbelief is one of them. I can't believe that I reached goal in 5 months. I was told by doc it would probably take about 6 months for me to reach it. It's excitement, fear, happiness,hard to look in mirror and not still see the big girl...

Wondering if you have gained/lost any friends due to your weight loss or have any issues with too much attention?

I've heard from a friend at work that some of the girls were saying I was too skinny (behind) my back, but I took it as a compliment. After spending all the money and all the hard work I've put in to lost wt. I was thrilled to be called skinny. It hurt my feelings at first but I know I look okay. My weight is a normal weight for someone of my height. I think they're probably just jealous or something. My husband went through a spell of having dreams that I found someone else and left him. He is thrilled for me though, but still has some minor insecurity issues when it com es to dealing with my wt. loss...I haven't lost any friends or anything...People are also starting to stop saying how much more are you going to lose, or how much have you lost? I get alot of questions about whatand how much I can eat. I have noticed when I eat with others it sometimes makes them "feel like hogs" they say. I try to eat slow and not make a big deal about it. When my hubby and I went out to eat I was done before he got his salt/pepper etc, on his food! So I try to eat really slow around others.. It's kinda uncomfortable for both of us...

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
