excitement and motivation....gone.

When I first started this journey I was extremely excited. Its a fresh start and I was ready to jump start the process and keep the ball moving. Now that I'm a few months in I feel like its taking forever. Like its not gonna happen and when the time does come ill be denied. I feel like giving up but I know I truly need this. I've been in a funk lately and I cant seem to get out of the rut ????

I know how you feel. I've been in the midst of this journey since April. I had to do 3 months of monitored weight loss which I finished in July. I saw the surgeon in August but have had a really hard time getting my 3 evaluations done (due to schedule conflicts). I have two this week and one the following week then I will be done. Then it's a matter of when I can have the surgery. I am hoping before Halloween, but I feel it's so far away. SIGH. I have gone back and forth a few times over the last 6 months. Some periods I am totally on board, some periods I have no motivation. Looking back I am thankful for this time. I've been able to review the procedure, and make sure this is what I really want to do. My relationship with food has also changed... big time. It doesn't control me. And if I do have bad moments I am fully aware of them and it helps me quit when I start. Hang in there. Some days you won't be motivated. It's OK. Nobody is perfect.
