December Win and Reset thoughts: a win is not being small and cutting those who want to dim your light off. Letting go is also growth. #winning by cutting people off ??‍♀️ Loved this post!

Love this quote!!

I enjoyed my Thanksgiving food a bit too much lol, but December is a reset and I am getting my boobies done in 28days! so I am doing a lower carb and amping up my workouts since I will be down and out for a few weeks. So my win was meal prepping, having everything that I needed to be successful this week!

@AmberFL Good thing about new months or even the next day we can always RESET! Awesomeness. Meal preparation is definitely a win you are setting yourself up for success. I am so excited about those boobies! Let us know how it goes!

@Mspretty86 girl I am so excited! I have my pre-op appt where I pick the size next Tuesday! and yes I needed a reset! I have been grazing- so I am trying to stick to my plan even though grazing doesn't look like it used to but still its easy to slip back into old habits

Tomorrow is my 2 month surgiversary and I'm already halfway to my (numerical) weight loss goal!

@NeonRaven8919 that is awesome! Winning!

Reporting a Win! Ya girl have not let's say in years been able to get away from the 16, 18, 22, 24 Wide Jeans in years!!! Whoop Whoop bring out the HORNS shopping today and I am NOW in I guess you would say regular sizes ??...No plus attached. I've never had these many jeans to save my life. You know when you are larger you rotate your favorite pair of big jeans over and over!

Not sure if this is a win, or if it's just in my mind, but here it is.

I was in the US for Thanksgiving so I haven't been riding my bike to work for the last two weeks. Today, I got on the bike for the the first time in two weeks and I just felt lighter and faster than I usually do. I think my bike is breathing a sigh of relief that she has less weight to carry. I can feel like I'm really flying now, even on the eco power mode (ebike) and not the full power mode.

Back in June when I was approved for Surgery, I was a size 22-24UK. Today, Two months post surgery, I'm wearing a size 18UK top!

You go girl! Looking great!

8 months post opp today ALL I can say is WOW. My win is staying consistent on this bariatric journey; obesity is a lifelong disease. Every day I have to be intentional. I can say I have fell in love with eating with intention. I have fell in love with the fact that the foods that I eat now nourish my body when I was larger I was eating all kinds of crap.

You know what. I was doing so well and feeling so good with my nutrition and exercise. Then Thanksgiving and some medical stuff happened and I have been allowing some bad foods to slip in and i Am starting to notice I’m waking up more at night and waking up feeling fatigued. It’s honestly not worth it. The food that nourishes your body is such a good way to think of it because bad food is like cheap gas it just doesn’t make our bodies run very well and can cause engine failure. Ha. I think I just thought of that. Or I heard it somewhere and just think I did. Anyways, good for you with your nutrition. It is pretty amazing to realize the difference between a lifelong diet and a lifestyle change

@ShoppGirl the good thing about life and having the tool is we can always reset. Identify what needs to change and then start changing. Like yesterday I was like girl your eating to many sunflower seeds for some reason I like to drive and eat them before you know it I'm through the entire bag. So I'm not going to buy them anymore. I can always reset. Trust me I understand you, this journey is not EASY.
