Help! Running out of will power!!!



Recommended Posts

I had a couple of mini chocolate eggs and some Easter bun, and bbq sausages, guess what? I didn't turn into a troll or 3 eyed cyclops! I had my treats and that's that . . . but i'm back on track today. . . I always do excellent during the week and on Saturdays, for some reason, I don't do well Sundays, but 1 out of 6 isn't bad at all. . . still losing and am happy. . . good luck

me too! no will power here! I ate the candy! LOL

ok. really not much. One or two robins eggs and a single reces pb cup in the last week. And I had milk with them so that balanced it out, right?? : )

I also keep a container of Sara Lee Cheesecake Bites in the freezer. I think 26 bites is a serving - and I will have 1 or 2, rarely 3, when I am in need of a treat.

I think you drive yourself crazy if you always deprive yourself. Moderation, don't over do it.

Isnt' it nice just to be human? Eat whatever, but now you know there is a limit? Its alot easier to say no to things now too, but whenever you need a little "fix" you can have it. . . I don't like depriving myself if i'm craving or wanting something i'll have it and get it over with then carry on. . .hasn't hurt me so far and i've not failed either. . . i had a really funny thought the other day. . .i was eating a metamucil wafer (which look like cookies) well this co worker of mine states "can you eat that!" I asked why not? She said it's fattening. . .my response to her was "Its amazing when i was fat, no one ever said, "you should be careful what you eat", now that i'm slimming down, everyone has become the damn expert on what i should eat. . I haven't lost 73 lbs in 3 months listening to the lot of you" . . . of course we're not friends anymore, but who cares. . . we are human and we have this surgery that helps us with Portion Control, that doesn't mean become obsessed totally. . . .good luck all! Enjoy being human!:biggrin0:

I like chocolate and enjoyed a little on Easter. Still lost a pound next morning. The sleeve is an awesome tool that lets us be NORMAL. Eat a little treat now and then, but follow the rules 99% of the time. It works and I don't feel deprived of ANYTHING.

when i'm around junk food i always say yea i can have some IF i want to and i will be fine. when i tell myself i can have it anytime i want to i don't want it then and it lost it appeal. because i know i can have it ANYtime i want to. kinda like the tricks my parents used on me in teen years when they wanted to win. so point. don't make it a big deal.

Ok so I survived. I sucked on a Red Tulip egg and made it last a loooong time. I think you're all right though. If I really, really want it I should have it so I don't obsess over it. But I will just have a taste and that will satisfy the craving...fingers crossed anyway :o

This is exactly my thought process. I know that depriving myself only leads to an ugly cycle of binging on junk food. I did that for so many years, and refused to do it this time with the sleeve.

Wheeee! The sleeve is gonna be GREAT. I hadn't had a single bit of candy since.....Chritmas?....when I had maybe two pieces, and went on a little sugar binge recently. It made me evil and I gained 7 lbs! THAT made me MORE evil. My poor husband. I guess all this gets him ready for the roller coaster ride after the sleeve.

        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.

      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
