Back On The Band Wagon-lets Go!



Recommended Posts

Ok Everybody!

Christmas is officially over. I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did. I ate what I wanted today, just not as much as I would have in the past. I hope you all indulged a little too if you really wanted to. But now, lets get it back on track tomorrow. Dont do what we have in the past. Dont say "Well I'll just wait till the end of the year and start fresh." Get back on track tomorrow! Get to the gym or get on whatever exercize routine you generally do. Get back to the healthy eating too!

Last year I would have been making every excuse in the world not to get back on track but not now! I am determined that this process is a life change not just a temporary diet. I feel very motivated and empowered to make the right decisions to keep this weight off. So tomorrow get off that couch and get moving. It will be so much easier than waiting. Sittling around eating wrong and not exercizing for another week waiting for the New Year will only make it that much harder to get back on track!

So what will you do??? Will you change your life forever? Keep your goals in mind? Or will you put it off and make yet another unkept New Years resolution this year???

Lets do this once and for all!!

You just put in to writing exactly what I was thinking!! I've been struggling since about the first of December and decided this afternoon that tomorrow I WILL get back on track! I might even get my bike out and go for a ride if it's not too cold. I will definitely be upping my exercise and watching my portions much closer. biggrin.png

Yogurt and berries for Breakfast and onto the treadmill! I'm so behind on my monthly walking goal, but I'll be back to walking almost every day now that the craziness is over.

I'm happy to say that I lost weight over the holidays, but I did not deny myself. I had some chocolate and dessert every night!

But I am still 4 lbs from my New Years goal. So I need to step it up. Thanks for the added push. laugh.png

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
