A Moment Today That I Am Still Shake Over



Recommended Posts

So I made it to the goal of 170 back in december. Which put me at a 25.8 bmi. I flirted with resetting my goal since 164 supposedly puts me at below 25, then thought maybe 160 that way I have 4 lbs room between me and overweight.

I have been half heartedly trying. I mean I run 3 days a week 3 miles 2 days then 4-6 on saturday (I ran 10 today :) my eating has been ok but not hypervigilent like I have allowed myself a bit of bread or tortillia here and there. so I have gotten down to 166 and then back to 170 back and forth.

so today I thought, I have been eating better and maybe i'm actually back to 166, hoping to see 165 on the scale and thus being one more lb toward normal weight range.

Standing on the scale waiting for the digital numbers to appear I prepared myself to see 168 or 169 and hoped for 166 and dreamed for 165. There on the scale appeared 162!!!!! 162!!!!! wait let me just say 162!!!!!!

*huge crazy grin* Rocky theme blasting in my head as imaginary streamers fall from the ceiling.

2 lbs below the normal range threshold!!!!! honestly I can't say anything else because I am having a very hard time even discribing how I am feeling just yet.

That is 149lbs lost from my heaviest. 111lbs since surgery may 10th of last year; 8 months and 4 days 8 lbs below a goal I picked out of the air, thinking there was no way i'd ever reach it, and 2 lbs below overweight range. 33rd precentile for my height that mean 67 percent of people my height are heavier than me!

thank you that is all

Not sure why you are so surprised! I knew you would make it. :)

I have watched you throughout your journey my friend and from the beginning I saw the strength and determination you had to reach your goal. The NSV's you posted along the way showed how happy and healthy you were getting. You haved encouraged and inspired everyone around you as well. So thank YOU and congratulations on everything.

*inserts Rocky sound track and starts to do the happy dance for Pasquini* Good thing this is a computer because me dancing could be a little scary LOL

      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
