What motivates you?



Recommended Posts

My motivation is a "dream list", some people call it a "Reverse bucket list". It's all the things you plan on doing once you're able.

What is your motivation?

My motivation was to be pain-free, extend my life, and to start living instead of just existing. To be happy!

Bonuses are: shopping, looking better in clothes, shopping, having more confidence, shopping, being more productive at work, shopping, feeling more romantic, and did I say shopping? Lol

My motivation is to reduce my chronic pain, to lower cholesterol and triglycerides, to avoid type 2 diabetes, and to avoid hypertension. Looking better is just gravy

To live life and stop feeling like I'm chasing it. This feeling is soooo good I just don't want to ever loose it.

My main motivation is my one year old daughter. Everyday she amazes me with something new. I cringe at the thought of not seeing her grow up.

Next I would like to walk without pain.

Not have high blood pressure.

Shop till I drop at a cheap store.

Not have to order my clothes and then try them on and send them back when the don't fit right. The process takes at least 6 weeks.

Ride the boat ride at the county fair. Last time rode it I was15 and I could hardly fit then.

Take a vacation and ride in a plane.

My list can go on and on. Thinking one day I will be able to do these things is the reason I keep going.

My motivation is my family. I want to be healthy again before I am 40.

      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! 😞
