Hi Everyone,

I have posted something like this before. I thought it might be a good time to repost this and see if it helps anyone.applause.gif

Things aren't always as they appear. Sometimes what seems to be the end is really just a new beginning. Like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly. batlashes.gif

I remember a time when it felt like nothing could go right. The whole world appeared to be teamed up against me. But I kept on moving forward, even when I couldn't tell exactly where I was going.asleep.gif

I found in life it's not about attaining a goal. What's most important is who we become during our pursuit. I happen to like who I have become.deal.gif

If every day is starting to feel like a struggle and your desires appear to be getting further and further away- Stop. Take a minute to breath and read through these Encouragement Quotes. I love quote and I am alway reading them.heart.gif

These of some things I have put together to encourage you when you are having a hard time, or your weight loss has slowed down or it has stalled, or someone is “bullying” you, or they are giving you a hard time about having weight loss surgery. Or you are just having a BAD DAY. We all have had some of these things happens to us during the process of weight loss or the planning of having WLS. I hope they are a little helpful.cool3.gif

1.Learn from others who have been down that road and popped out on the other side- successful, empowered, and matured as human beings.—Unknown Author

2.When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hand on—Franklin D. Roosevelt.

3.When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile—Author Unknown

4.The world is round and the place which may seem like the end may also be only the beginning—Ivy Baker Priest.

5.It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves—Edmund Hillary. This happens to be one of my favorite quotes and it has gotten me through a lot of tough times in my life.

6.If one dream should fall and break into a thousand pieces, never be afraid to pick up one of those pieces up and begin again.—Flavia Weedn

7.Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional. –M. Kathleen Casey

8.It is not easy taking my problems one at a time when they refuse to get in line.—Ashleigh Brilliant

9.Rock bottom is good solid ground, and a dead end street is just a place to turn around—J.R. Cobb

Some things I want you to consider—just some thoughts of my own.

Success is not a race, be patient.

Success leads to success.

Success is always a work in progress.

Success doesn't come to you--you go to it.

Success is a journey, not a destination. Focus on the process.

Some people dream about success... while others wake up and work hard at it.

Success is achieved and maintained by those who try-and keep trying.

Every day is a good day to SUCCEED!

When you get to a plateau, think of it as a landing on the stairway to your goal. gossip.gif

Hi,

I thought they were pretty powerful. Sometimes just that little boost is helpful, or just what you need to continue on with your success.

Thanks for the comments,

Suzanne

      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.
