I should have posted this last Sunday, but I ran a half marathon and broke 2 hours for the first time. I know a lot of runners train for years to complete that milestone, so I'm pretty happy with that!

a bittersweet win: i find i don't need nor rely on this forum as much as i used to.

🥹

i am more and more no longer identifying as a WLS patient nor "former obese person". i'm just me. i find im not so scared about "getting fat" again, and sort of just know in my bones that i've got this, no matter what comes my way.

confidence is honestly THE best thing to come out of all of this.

❤️

@ms.sss I love that! That's awesome... yeah In other groups I'm part of people talk about not wanting to be identified as this WLS "patient" they feel that they have always been someone else ..that is not their whole being so I love that you go chick!

This f**king journey is hard as hell I commend anybody who gets through this journey successfully so if you can get through this journey. You can Get through anything that includes tackling regain if you have regain or you can do anything your mind sets out to do it's hard it requires that much discipline so if you can be disciplined in this, you could be disciplined in anything.

I can totally relate to this, 2 years out from surgery. I was beginning to think I might not see my end goal weight of 150. Until a couple weeks ago. I was bouncing around 155-160 for the longest of time and was resigned to the fact that the rebound weight everyone talked about here had happened or maybe my goal was just off. I was perfectly happy to remain in the 150s, but I'll admit I'm pleasantly surprised. And fitting into a size 6. Sometimes a 4 depending on the clothing item. Dreams really do come true. LOL

This forum has been such a help to me during the whole process. I'd like to thank you all for your advice and encouragement. It was and is priceless to me. Will periodically check in and I continue to wish everyone here much success and boundless health. ❤️

My win for the week is that I’m finally getting back to the fitness level I was at before my 7-week break. I’m almost lifting as heavy as I was, my endurance is better, and overall I’m feeling really good about my progress. I’m trying not to focus too much on the number on the scale (still being mindful) but paying more attention to how my clothes fit, how I look, and how I feel health-wise.

A couple small wins yesterday.

Small, but I take note of them and small wins encourage the behaviors that lead to bigger wins, right ?

So...this 'un is a two parter.

Several months ago, a few weeks before I had taken action to burn off the regains and dig my way back.... I was goofing around on the web... looking through a certain company's website. They make gear that is hobby related. I happened to notice that they also had some logo T-shirts that looked cool. So I ordered two....but ordered them for two sizes smaller than I was wearing then.

They arrived and were stashed away with some other clothing, all smaller sizes, that I'd been ordering. The stash had made it's way upstairs to be put away.

Soon afterwards... I started putting in the work....burning off the regain and get in better overall health. Kitchen discipline being the first step.

Fast forward to yesterday.....laundry day at the hacienda.

Grabbed a shower and started getting dressed so I could go knock out some errands. Almost dressed but remembered my normal day off work stuff was on the drying rack. Damn.

I spied the stack of smaller sized stuff still in shopping bags....sitting there. Hmmm. Screw it...let's find out, dude...either it'll fit or it won't. Grabbed one of the new cool guy t-shirts and some new flat fronted cargo pants. Cut off tags & peeled off stickers and began to.....WTH !!! This shyt if fitting. Bamsucka. Got dressed and strutted around the room like a bantam rooster....chest poked out....big grin.

Small Win Numba One Achieved.

While running errands I wheeled into a parking space in front of one of the local gyms I'd been considering. Took my bantam rooster arse up in there and looked around. It was clean, plenty of open treadmills and recumbent bikes...just what I need for pre-habbing my knees. Gonna build up the muscle tissue before getting those suckers replaced over the next couple years.

I joined.

Small Win Numba Two Achieved.

I plan on never having to eat an elephant (although I used to look like I could)......but....but if I did....I'd eat that thang one bite at a time.

Thankfully getting healthy may prove to be easier than elephant eating. 🤣
