I think the band wagon has left me!



Recommended Posts

So Im still trying to loose the 34 pounds the doctor wants me to loose before my second appointment. Well I only have about 5or6 more pounds to go. I feel like I am just stuck. I have been slipping on my diet. Eating fast food because I have been so busy the last few days. Everyday I wake up with the mind frame of I'm getting back on the band wagon today. I just feel so frustrated at times. Why me? Why couldn't I have a skinny healthy body? I am a good person. I have a daycare, I adopted a baby girl who would have been lost into the system. I have foster children. I give back to society. And yet here I am weighing 456 pounds and struggling to loose weight. I just feel like its not fair at times. Does anyone else feel that way sometimes? Sorry for ranting but I have been feeling a little lost lately.

Everyone hits stalls and feels stuck from time to time. You need to pick yourself back up and remind yourself that you need to do this, for yourself, for your daughter, for all the kids in your life. You're going to inspire a lot of people, you just have to keep faith and make time for yourself.

Keep a food log it will help keep you accountable for your diet. Take the kids and go for a walk, You can do this!

I know the feeling. You know that now that I'm slim I'm afraid to regain & food logging is the best cuz once I'm like close to 1200 per day I stop eating. I don't starve I just count everything makes me feel in control. So I try to leave a little space just in case I get a little hungry. I have a fruit around boy how I love fruits. Lmbo never in a million years I would say I rather have strawberry over a burger.

You can do this! The end result will be so worth it. This journey isn't easy and even after u have the surgery there will be other things about post op life that isn't easy. The only thing easier is not being as hungry as u are pre op. Boredom and emotional upheavals were my downfalls. Try to distract yourself. My fitness pal is a life saver. It keeps me In check. You sounds like such a wonderful woman and u are worth this. Don't give up!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
