One day I will be as strong as you all, I'm just so happy yall are strong! My Addiction to food was no different then that of one on meth/crack. I'm scared to even indulge 😂🤪

Congrats you will enjoy the "lighter" side!

Meet my sexy friend in which we have a daily love affair. This weeks win, I am on vacation in the country side and drinking ALOT of water...this thing goes wherever I go. What a love affair 😂😂

Love this! Lol now you all can do healthy cuddle and Chill! Babe bring me a celery stick 😂😂😂. I get it tho!

Love this ..as I'm comming up on 5 months post op...im trying to decide how I would like to move ahead with the "maintenance" part of life. Maintaining a food lifestyle that I enjoy for life. I haven't yet decided on how that will look. It's good to hear your thoughts as it gives me insight on how I will maybe manage further down the line. As of now I don't even know what bread, or mash potatoes or any of the comforts I once enjoyed taste like 😂😂😂 anymore .

This is good info never looked at it like this...I am afraid to trigger my addiction if I taste certain foods I may not be able to stop

Im with you there...I miss everything!

Sorry I screamed laughing for some reason when you said "all the chewing" for a steak 😂. Yes It's a lot of chewing but I love steak so damn much: even tho I chew 1000 times

Trust me I am with you whole heartedly @BlondePatriotInCDA...today we drove to Louisiana to go the casino and I am beyond mad! We all ate at a buffet and I wanted the rolls, mashed potatoes etc...The Win for today tho is my own mom did not no who I was she sat by me at a machine and said "a mamn can I ask you"...she stopped and looked and was like damn I didn't even know my own baby. This journey is hard as hell. We always have to find a win through the grief. I grieve every damn day. I am a big baker as well imagine making people red velvet cakes with the cream cheese icing and not being able to eat it. for restaurants I stick to steak, and veggies I no longer make a deal of it because I know I will not be able to enjoy my "big girl" pleasures I once knew. It's like the enjoyment of eating out is now one big RIP 🪦.

So awesome movement is my favorite thing

New Week New Wins! Ladies and Gents look forward to seeing your weeks Wins!

Cool thanks yes I do not have children but need to plan for the future...I always felt that the mothers in my family over ate while pregnant and used it as an excuse. I know people eat for two but really how much food does one need.

That's my biggest fear and that's why I'm in various bariatric groups. I do not want to gain any of this weight back! It was hard work getting it off 😩😩😩

Your NSV's will surprise you by the month! Truly Amazing

Thanks...I retire around 8pm and put all electronics away I also do not have TV in bedroom it helps. Much like @ShoppGirl stated I rest much better after cardio/physical activity..I also am not the best sleeper 😩. I am very big on movement and always have been even when I was larger..so I have to get it done! Once I'm done in the early am. I have the rest of the day to do as I wish!

Girl lol I am right with you 4 months post op. I grieve not being able to guzzle down water or any beverage for that matter. I grieve everything right now. Thankful for the multiple bariatric groups that I am in. I wouldn't make it 😂

This weeks Win is Movement. I haven't stopped moving since surgery in April. Houston Texas Skyline. Yes I am the crazy lady working out at 4am. 🏋️‍♀️ 🏃‍♀️ 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽. Stay Motivated!

New week new things that I grieve ... pre-menstruation hunger and menstruation hunger needs to be further talked about in the bariatric community.

I love to hear everyone's Wins as each week or day passes there is a New Win.

Mid week checkpoint from last week I'm late! I i'm an avid runner. I have taken the last few days off. Crazy how your body craves exercise once you make it a part of your routine. I will say obesity is a smart disease and anyone experiencing stalls for me , I have to constantly find ways to out smart it. If I run at 4am one week, I will run at 6pm the next. It get used to things you do 😡😡😡😡.

Have Fun shopping Ladies! To shop and actually wear what you want is a HUGE and a Major WIN!! 🥇🏆 🏅 🎉

Thanks for this info! So many thrifts in this city. That will be my project in the next few weeks!

Reporting todays WIN 8/14/24...went to macys and the size 16 jeans are fitting well some are kind of big! It's been a LONG A$$ time since I've seen a size 16 from being in the size 20 somethings lol. I said today I would go to the mall and shop to see my actual size. I still do not want to buy a lot of cloths only month 4 and dropping fast!!

I still have no appetite and trust your not going to Want to overeat! Your pouch won't let you. My pouch is an a*****e i call it names. The second month i let out a big ugly real tears cry! Strawberries didn't even want to go down felt stuck 😂😂😂
