Now that you've gotten clear about why you want to lose weight, it is time to write a vision statement. I'd like you to write the statement as if it is one year from today. A vision statement is a vivid description of your hopes and dreams. It should be inspiring, energizing, and help you keep clearly focused on the life you most deeply desire to live. The vision statement should contain a specific vision or desire, the feelings you feel knowing your desire has manifested, and the way your life and the life of those around you have been affected by you having manifested your vision. Use the answers from the previous exercise to help you write your vision statement.

Here’s an example:

"I am so excited that I am at a healthy weight and have maintained this weight for more than 3 months now!! I am truly at peace with my body and my relationship with food. I feel so free, light hearted, joyful, blessed and relieved. I am enjoying excellent health. I have more energy than I could have ever imagined. I am able to be so much more present in my life. I now play basketball with my children, go dancing with my husband, and have started a yoga practice. I walk with a bounce in my step and keep my head held high. Getting dressed is so much fun! My memory has even improved. I am much more productive at work and as a result my income has increased twofold! I am so excited by my new found energy and health that my bliss just emanates from me for miles and miles. I no longer avoid social situations, in fact I now consider myself a “Social Butterfly”! I love feeling, living, and being healthy. My family and friends are so inspired by my way of living that many of them have started living more healthfully. My husband and children love that I am much more involved in their everyday lives and have said they feel more loved by me."

It's your turn now!! Have fun with it!!

All the best!!

Louisa

  Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

    I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

  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? 🤷‍♀️
