Obsession with weight....



Recommended Posts

I'm sitting here thinking...will there ever come a time in my life that I am not obsessed with losing weight? A day that I don't think about being thin? A day I don't wish the weight would come off faster? A day I don't question if I'm doing something wrong because I'm not losing as fast as I think I should be? A day I can walk into any clothing store and pick something off the rack that actually fits and looks nice? Just thinking......

I do realistically believe that I will always worry about my weight. Instead of worrying about losing now, I worry about regain. Because we have lived in a world of obesity for so long that worry will always be there.

I do think once you get to goal (and yes you can and will!), the worry looks and feels much different. It is not that self loathing when you look in the mirror and think, geez I just keep getting bigger and I don't know what to do about it because you do!

I think everyone of us wished it would come off faster but it really doesn't work that way. Just know that if you stick to the plan, you will get there.

Lastly the answer is YES, you will be able to cut up that Lane Bryant card and shop anywhere you like!!!! I know because I can do it and what's even crazier, you will LOVE it!

Keep your goals right in front of you and you will be there before you know it. Just be patient. :)

      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.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
