Unsuccess story: I have been so bad this summer...



Recommended Posts

Between family parties and celebrating my last blast for awhile before starting nursing school, working overnights, breaking up with my bf of three years and gaining a new one... This summer has been a hell of a ride and my weightloss efforts have suffered. I really let all of these things take the front seat in my life. I have put my weightloss on the back burner. I did well for awhile and when I get back into that groove I lose pretty quickly. I just saw a 2 week pause and kind of gave up. I can't seem to find the drive to get back into my low carbing and I keep finding that I am making a lot of excuses for myself. I have found out how to eat around the band even though I am pretty tight. I usually have no issues when I eliminate carbs...the band does its job. This is awful and I'm really upset at myself

Wendy, take it from me. It's never too late. I'm 53 and I started over in my life. You recognize the problem and want to change it. Just worry about today. Heck, just worry about the next eight hours. One foot in front of the other. Don't over think it. Just do it. Today just low carb. Choose Proteins you enjoy. Get some fresh air and take half an hour to meditate in any way you like. Even if that's listening to music or reading. Just. Do. It. We're here for you. Tomorrow will take care of itself.

Why are you eating around your band?

I believe emotional eating (happy or sad) is what got us into this health mess we are in.

The past is the past, we cannot change it.

I too have had a rough summer weight wise. I had a stall for 30 days. I received some great advise from people on this site. I rode it out, kept to the plan. It appears my first stall has finally broken. Yeah!

My point? We all stray at times, it's ok. Get up, dust yourself off and restart.

My surgeon had a saying "if you find out your car has a flat tire you don't poke holes in the other 3." Simply meaning one bad spell doesn't have to make the rest of your journey fail you. Start now and do it right.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
