Feel like I am failing

[kad_82 42]

Trying to stay positive but I am a little over 2 months since I was sleeved down 30 since May 2nd, 45 total. I feel like I'm getting off track after seeing a tiny bit of success. I am afraid on not losing and failing. Sorry sounding like a downer.

45lbs is amazing!!! You are doing great! Don't let the voice in your head win. You keep pushing yourself and eating right and you will get there. Take it one day at a time... you seriously are doing great!

45 lbs is amazing!!! I'm 6 months into the process of getting approved by insurance. Been getting frustrated because it's taking so long, but seeing this makes me feel like it will be worth it!!! I think you are doing great 😊

Thank you! The approval part is tough, you feel like your jumping through hoops. I was lucky with only three months. One you get that surgery day it starts to fly by and it's worth it. Helps to think back were you are and then get two months out.

You lost 45 pounds in a little more than 2 months? You're doing fabulous. It took me a whopping 5 months to lose 45 pounds, yet you won't hear me fretting.

When's the last time you lost 22.5 pounds per month (45 pounds in 2 months) via diet and exercise alone? I'm guessing the answer is "Never." Again, you're doing well.

Realistic expectations are imperative in your journey. You didn't become overweight overnight, and it won't come off instantly either.

The important part of this journey is adopting good habits to ensure whatever weight you lose stays off for a lifetime. What's the point of rapid weight loss if you regain? Focus on the big picture.

Good luck to you.
