I’m drawing a line under last week and moving swiftly on! Emotions were all over the place, pains were getting to unbearable levels and eating sensibly went by the by. 2.5lbs up on my lowest (it could have been so much worse ?) Just putting it down to experience and carrying on.

My clothing is fitting better and I’ve managed to wear a ring that I’ve not been able to get on my finger for quite some time so the NSV are continuing, which are all positives.

Hope everyone has a great start to their week ?

Onwards and Downwards!

I'm so sorry you had such a rough week!!! I hope the pain is getting better now. Just think positive that this will be a better week for you Fantastic job keeping your eyes on the NSV when the scale isn't doing what you want. That's exactly the right thing to do. Feel better!!!

I think there must be something in the air! My emotions were also a rollercoaster, especially on the weekend where I spent most of it crying ?

Really sorry you had such a low one - but can I just say how happy I am for you for your NSVs - you are doing amazingly x

I love that you are able to compartmentalize it and focus on your non scale victories. That attitude should carry you far in all of this.

Pain will be with me for a while yet but I just need to focus on other things for the time being ? We have to take our wins where we can! ?

I am! I think it is a mix of hormones, lack of food, and just life ? I hope you are okay!

Ah this is so part of the journey and of life after surgery.

I love that you're focusing on your NSVs, but also analyse the HECK out of your down week to see where you went off piste. That will help you to ensure you don't fall into that particular trap again. Knowledge is power in this process. We've all made mistakes (we are human) what matters is how we take that experience forward.

I hope you can regroup, rediscover your mojo and smash it next week!!! All here for you OP.

Thanks @Spinoza. I’m pre-op so testing the waters for now ? Trying to get my head around things and get some control. I do find that, once I’ve wandered off-plan and my focus isn’t as sharp, it can be really hard to get back to it, which is something many of us suffer with! Definitely need to regroup and rediscover my mojo - thanks for the reminder ?
