I don't know...I felt very sad the day of my surgery, and I couldn't figure out why, but then it hit me; I had struggled with my weight my whole life. I had been fat pretty much my entire adult life. A fat girl was who I had always been, but I didn't want to be one anymore...but it's who I had always been. And what if this didn't work? What if I failed, like I always failed? What if I let my family and myself down? What if I spent all that money for nothing?

Change is difficult and we want to hang on to the familiar...even if it hurts us...at least it's safe...at least it's "home." The change that you've made the decision to make is a huge one, but can be a great one! You're very brave, so don't worry. Relax and think about your new life, and what you're going to do to be successful.

You can do this, and you won't believe what you're capable of. Just think of the second chance you've been given. Also, find something to take your mind off food. The first month is HELL because there's nothing in your band. Lots of LEAN liquid protein and find your Muse. Learn to knit, paint, play online Scrabble, send emails, sculpt, garden, read...anything, just find something you like more than eating. Any support groups in your area?

Best of luck!

    • I’ve used my Xbox for exercise games too and it can be pretty motivating, especially on days when I don’t want to leave the house. Kinect games really do make you move, and after a session with kickboxing or dancing, I always feel like I’ve actually gotten a solid workout. The controller-free setup feels way more natural for workouts than anything I tried on the Wii. Zumba is fun but definitely takes a little time to get the moves right. Lately, when I’m not working out, I spend time trading CS2 skins and finding new guides on this link. There’s a lot of interesting tips if you’re into games outside of fitness too.
