[missmillyann 0]

I am almost a year out on my surgery, I am 100 pounds down but I still feel like I'm the 330 pound girl who started this journey. I weighed 397 before surgery and as of today I'm at 205. Can anyone give tips to help me realize in not 330 pounds anymore

I meant 330 not 397

It all happens in your brain..that is where all the problems stem...if you can change you brain, meaning your thinking The body will follow.........

You have done an amazing feat...You should be extremely proud of yourself...But we are so used to not being positive that it flows over even when we have done well... which you have...

You need to go to that mirror and tell yourself your doing great..You need to write down the accomplishments you have made in the last year and the changes...

You need to say to yourself..I am doing this for my health and I deserve it.....

You need to get some pride about yourself and your future goals......Stand tall girl...Your doing it...Your making a difference..No one else is doing it for you....

Put 100 lbs of butter on the table and look at it..Put 1 lb of butter on the table and imagine what 100 would look like....You are not burdened with that extra weight now............Your doing great...............

What did it for me was when my husband put a 100 pound weight in front of me and said "lift it". I couldnt even budge it. Thats how much extra weight I was carrying around. I lost 101 and dont understand how my small frame was able to carry that extra weight around. It put things into perspective for me. I like RJ's butter idea. Thats A LOT of butter!

Celebrate your victory my dear, youve done awesome!
