Scared about the future



Recommended Posts

Here's a graph of my weight from 2014-now. It shows when I first started my first weight loss journey at 218lbs to how I got down to my lowest adult weight of 158 in less than a year, how I started to gain over the next couple years to reach 238 lbs. That is when I decided to have wls, so now it is showing how I've made my way back down to 176 lbs. I feel good right now but also terrified of gaining again because despite it just being a line graph to most, to me it also shows all the tears and depression I went through. How do I stay optimistic when I've failed myself many times before? I guess I'm just looking for some support, advice, and words of wisdom anyone may have. Thank you all in advance!

Use the settings that says 6 months instead of all time.

Focus on the present.

Focus on the future.

Don't indulge in a past you'll never return to.

Keep your head in the game.

Thank you. I probably reflect on the past a little too much.

Agreed! Don't look back! And throw yourself in front of anything that is going to help you keep eating healthy..cooking classes, support groups, outings that include exercise. My goal right now is to get my steps to over 8000/day (10 would be better but 8 works for me for now!). I don't make it everyday for sure, but I'm slowly progressing. So as said above, focus on the future!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
