Need help motivating myself today



Recommended Posts

How do you motivate yourself when you don't want to exercise? I think my stall is starting to affect me mentally. :thumbup:

I look at my "before" pictures, and then at my stomach that is still out of proportion with the rest of my body. It doesn't always work, but it typically gets my hiney out of the recliner.

What a great article, thanks for posting that. I am sure I will refer to it many times over the winter (ours here can be brutal) and will need motivation galore!:drool5:

I tried to avoid exercising today by going shopping for a dress to wear to a wedding in a few weeks. When I didn't fit into the size I wanted, I hauled my arse home and got my workout on. :biggrin0:

I have a girlfriend who has her own gym and she is on my way home - so we are accountable to one another and I stop on my way home because I know once I get home that's it!

Also, I like the fact that it seems to keep my scale moving and I feel better after working out.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
