xmas time poem



Recommended Posts

Twas the month before Christmas when up on the scale

I saw a number that made me turn pale

I looked back to the past, to the beginning of the year

and wondered out loud, “how the hell did I get here?”

I could have just waited until the first of the year

But that would only increase the size of my rear

Instead of sleeping late, curled up in my bed

I’ll put on my sweat pants and say healthy mantras in my head

I’ll head out the door at dawns first light

To Kabo and Kama these walks are a delight

We’ll walk around the block and even try to jog

It helps when your walking buddy is not one but two dogs

I’ll fight with courage and determination

To rid my body of this abomination

I’ll work my ass off and I’ll eat right

I won’t give up til I win this fight

I’ll head to the store to chose healthy dishes

I’ll grill up veggies, lean meat and fishes

My body will be happy and start to look lean

Join my adventure, you’ll see what I mean

When I go to parties, I’ll make a plan

To the food pushers, I’ll make a stand

I’ll spend the night munching on crudités

So I won’t feel guilty at all the next day

I’ll be mindful of portions and their sizes

I walk, I’ll lift and try new exercises

And when the first of the year does arrive

I’ll smile with delight wearing a smaller size

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it 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
