I am doing this for me.

When you aren't loosing as much as you want to,

Tell yourself, "I am doing this for me."

Why do we tend to do for others and put ourselves at the back of the line? Not any more - I AM DOING THIS FOR ME!
The sooner you decide to stand up for yourself, the sooner you'll be at goal. Every time you don't it's one small step (of many, many more) backwards for you. If you don't stand up this time, you won't the next time it happens again. And it will happen again because you let it happen the first time. Also if you don't, your not making a lifestyle change for yourself and not letting others realize this is a lifestyle change for you that you will be sticking to and they need to respect that. You set the future for letting it repeat and it will be a constant battle and steps back for you. Being ambiguous is how we got fat in the first place. None of us want to go back to that. Whats so hard or wrong about saying, that/this no longer works for me. If you don't respect yourself, others won't respect you, and your just shooting yourself in the foot. You'd be surprised how quickly people get over it. This is a real powerful thread all of us need to read. :)

When we slip up and try to eat a couple of chips (fries) from one of our kids meals and spend the next 15 mins trying not to bring it back up, have a cry and then tell yourself "I'm doing this for me!!!!"

      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? 🤷‍♀️
