Hey everyone everyday is a Win..in the baratric world we know everyday we have to either get fluids in, eat enough protein etc, ...what is your win for today? My Win is being consistent on my bariatric journey and movement, I have made it a goal to move almost daily!

@AmberFL Good thing about new months or even the next day we can always RESET! Awesomeness. Meal preparation is definitely a win you are setting yourself up for success. I am so excited about those boobies! Let us know how it goes!

December Win and Reset thoughts: a win is not being small and cutting those who want to dim your light off. Letting go is also growth. #winning by cutting people off 🤷🏽‍♀️ Loved this post!

I would say that I've always been easy on the eyes I'm not sure why people feel uncomfortable saying they are attractive. Im a very blunt person. I noticed when I was much larger even with being easy on the eyes the MALE gaze was not as strong as it is now. Sometimes the Male Gaze was none-existent to be honest. The old me (date 5 and break all 5 hearts) wants to resurface. It astounds me now how men will literally make a 360 in a store, gas station, they could even be with a significant other. Where was this male gaze when I was hitting 313 pounds? What does this say about men and what they presume as attractive? How does your current spouses/boyfriends feel about your weight loss? Any breakups?

I don't know if any of you experienced this WIN but my WIN is actually looking small in photos. Photos are tricky, I still hate taking pictures, I am soooooo not photogenic. Recently we took pics for my mother's birthday and I was like damn girl you look small. Photos can make you look large ALL the TIME, but I guess I've finally crossed over to the lighter side.

I love this @AmberFL! You will have fun shopping! Girl this is so Beautiful! People don't understand how hard it is Pre WLS to find jeans. Well atleast it was no fun for me! Jean shopping is so much funnier now!! #yourwinning 🏆.

@summerseeker that is a Beautiful WIN 🏆😊. I chuckled a bit at the "grey hound" ribs comment. I feel you 100%...I walk around daily thankful for science. If it was not for medical science we would not have this awesome tool. #winning

@Justarwaxx Winning major WIN! 🏆

thanks! I'm so glad more studies are being done. Such a multifaceted Dis-Ease!

I never In my life heard the Words Cottage Cheese used so much until I entered the Bariatric community. MY GOSH cottage cheese never was what I called a tasty cheesy treat lol. As time went on I see that cottage cheese packs a lot of protein and I have slowly started to enjoy whole Milk cottage cheese. How do you use cottage cheese? What are your recipes? Do you even like cottage cheese? lol it is an aquired taste for sure 😂😂

As we know MOVEMENT can be an important aspect of the bariatric journey! I credit a lot of my rapid weight loss to the fact that I love movement. Movement is freeing, it helps the mental as well as the physical. What movement do you do daily? What movement do you enjoy? How often? Post pics if you like!

@NeonRaven8919 Love that! That is definitely movement 🏆.

@Bypass2Freedom I am so excited to hear that! Im not sure why I get excited when people report their movement 😂. I am glad your body is cooperating with you now! Winning 🥇

My favorite topic SEX ❤️😊

Welp Ladies and Gents my poor Fanny pack is hanging on for dear life: I walk/run every morning and I have it as tight as it could go! Lol I will have to see what else I can find online. #Winning 🎖️🏆

@AmberFL ohhhhh I forgot I'm excited about your boobs lol! Thanks it's hard but REAL....soo Only water 😩💪🏼

Well it sounds like you are pretty active girlie so you're good!! @AmberFL mostly focus and clarity and hella energy! I am able to follow through with plans can't explain it but the focus is at 100% if you have a busy mind it helps!

This may be a good advice for other people this has stuck with me for a long time. In another bariatric group this lady on zoom made a statement "Hunger is not an emergency" this resonated with me. Hunger really is not an emergency for the past 3 plus months I fast from 8pm to 12pm about 16 hours. Once you mentally prepare yourself it's a breeze. I tell myself hunger is not an emergency and there we go!

You GO girl! I am Happy that you are LOVING the skin your in! So many people on this journey too me express not being satisfied, they are always wanting more..some of them I be like damn how much more weight do you want to freakin loose. At some point we should be satisfied you can't mentally live like that! ...............Your winning! Movement is so important, thanks for posting this video I will check it out. I work from hm this will give me something to do when bored 😂.

It's a bit woo woo but this is my Buddy he is a pine tree and also a marker for me. Once I reach him on my 5 mile walk/run I am so out of breath. This is a view from Texas. Texas Pines! Also this is my crazy lady 4am movement

If like me you may have Lived In an obese body for the majority of your life and to finally be of normal weight I know is freeing. Winning!

@Lilia_90 I love that!! I made a chocolate avocado mousse yesterday. We had the same taste buds goin! Deliciousness!

Looks good! I feel you! I eat all the time too but it's very important to eat meals. I work out a lot and have to eat! My body is always like HELLO time to eat! I'm kinda on a schedule. So far it has worked for me eating frequently. Weight loss is still consistent about 2 to 2.5 pounds per week. I also stick to FULL fats keeps me fuller longer! P.S also because the food noise/cravings are gone sometimes I eat like a body builder the same S!#t everyday 😂

Do not know how to explain this I am a side sleeper fetal position like. My knees can now touch each other feels thin and bony they are rubbing together and it annoys be. When larger I did not feel this 😂

@Lilia_90 That is an awesome win! Love that! Movement is so important, glad you are able too.
