Getting there is most of the journey

  • Popular Post

Ok so I'm roughly 2 months post op and down 35lbs and I feel great. Putting protein first and everything else last. Exercising any way I can even if I can't make it to the gym I'm doing my part. I feel proud I cannot believe that I am doing as well as I am and turning down the bad habits like I am. The old me is gone and the new one is here to stay. Next thing to work on is my confidence...

    You're doing great! When you see the smaller person in the mirror, believe it! Set many small milestones, and hit them. Identify with the new you and leave the old you behind. If you can do that, you'll enjoy this wonderful journey!!!

    I know it may sound weird but all my clothes don't fit right anymore and I stand in the closet just staring and my jeans just fall right off. I feel like I'm going through up & downs, like I used to when my size 24 jeans didn't fit. Maybe I am so used to being over weight that I need a confidence booster.

    I was feeling really frumpy, I work from home and rarely wear makeup. after my surgery my face looked slimmer so I went and got a haircut. man, what a difference. I have been putting on a little makeup and wearing a size smaller jeans..the haircut really made me feel better.

    I just might try it, sounds like a good start to accepting the new you....
