Is This Self-Sabotage?

I can't tell me how excited reading your post made me!!! We all need a little tough love sometimes. You will be able to eat those things again, just give yourself a few more months before you experiment too much. None of us here are perfect, we all make mistakes. I can tell you are going to do awesome on this journey.

You might consider getting yourself a ticker (www.tickerfactory.com). I love having my ticker. People might laugh at me, but since I weight myself every morning, I look forward to weighing myself to see if I can go immediately and update my ticker. LOL It's just one of those little weird motivators for me. Have a great day!

Wow... you guys are the best. I can't tell you much your thoughtful, funny, and wise advice means to me. Every one of you has given me valuable insight. Last night after I wrote this I had a big meeting with myself. Viola, I think you hit it right on when you said I already knew the answer to my own question when I had my "WTF" moment. I cannot continue to feed my body empty calories and expect to be healthy. Formervbg, you are dead on about the honeymoon phase. I reminded myself that never again in my life will I have this particular period of time in which to lose weight at this rate. I CANNOT screw this up! I didn't do this to fail. I have played "beat the diet" over, and over, and over in my life, toying with the rules, eating a few sneaky bites here and there... and it took me to a place where I had to have surgery or die young. So, thank you for being my sounding board. You are all going to keep me honest. I need that. Today I have done much better. Just had and egg for Breakfast, a MEASURED quarter of a cup of bean Soup for lunch, and tonight it's chicken pot pie, without any crust. I also got out the guidelines from my nutritionist, and it's time to get serious here. Thanks again!

      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
