Disgusted with Myself



Recommended Posts

See if you can turn it around the opposite train of thought - throughout my cancer diagnosis, treatment and recovery over the past year, I have stuck faithfully to a heatlhy eating plan (whilst totally unfilled) and continued to run and go to the gym through radiation, chemotherapy and several hospitalisations for bowel obstructions.

Am I some superhuman, morally superior being? Nope. It was the one thing in that horrible time that I felt I could control. I would NOT let stupid cancer take away all I had worked for and if I was going to die, I was going to do it looking freaking great. So there, cancer!

Taking control over your body like that really does get you through tough times. Giving in, backsliding, gaining, it makes you feel even more sad and hopeless and does nothing to help you get through the stress and come out the other side. Harness that strength and you will find it spreads to whatever it is you're battling too.

I have been eating horribly the past few days. And since it is getting cold have not been walking. My mom bought my family ice cream sandwiches and I am eating 2-4 at a time. On MyFitnessPal I have already gone over my calories. Anyhow reading all these posts has helped me to not beat up myself. It is still no excuse for my eating and I just need to say no. But tomorrow is a new day and my goal will be to stay out of the freezer. I will not go into it for anything. I can do this!

That's the beauty of this site, we've all been there and can sympathize! We all have our weaknesses and have to overcome them or at least remove ourselves from the environment. I through out a beautiful birthday cake this week because I was the only one eating it! I paid a fortune for it and it was divine but there was no need to sabatoge myself my keeping it in the house! You may just want to do the same thing with the icecream sandwiches. Hang in there and no that it really is a new day and looking back does you absolutely no good at all! Good luck and let us know how your day goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
