I've been working out practically my whole life.

hi Stronger_Diva

What i never understood about "people like you" i get that you use to eat a lot (didn't we all) but excersizing all your life, shouldn't that have helped you maintain a better shape/figure and all around appearance?

never excercised before, therefore my weight just "sat" there, but since you worked out too, it must have helped how you look, good, and how you felt.

i also always wondered how a person with a higher weight can excercise. At 235, well, i could do some machines and stuff, but never stuff like you probably did. I just felt too big.

Oh LilMissDiva..Stronger Diva...Diva with a Rockin Bod

WE are NOT WORTHY! Seriously! You and Lilliana Arleen are my sleeve idols LOL. Well God first, then you guys of course hehe.

I just downloaded your doc and I'm going to look at it when I'm feeling unmotivated or down. I have been doing Turbo Jam and Taebo since surgery and there are some days where I just don't wanna do it! Just want to lay around on the couch and say to myself "Oh I can barely eat enough calories, how in the world am i going to have enough energy to work out?"

Well screw that! On those days I'm just going to look at this word doc and remember that dedication and "P's and Q's" are going to get me there! And as for the C's, I'll avoid them as best I can! We all have bad days. We just gotta get up, scrape ourselves off, and move on!

Thank you for being such a DIVA!!!

Kathy... no. That is a huge misconception people have, I worked out to the best of my ability, but no that did not keep me from gaining all that weight. Eating too much and way too high calorie foods did. So you see, now that I have my food issues under control I am now at goal, fitter than I ever have been... and happier too. :) Good luck with your journey.

Hi there S&H! Listen you ARE worthy! Okay? I think perhaps we all have spent way too much of ourselves thinking that is true. :) So there, you ARE!! Keep pushing no matter what. If you fall, just get back up. Like when we were kids learning to ride a bike. Something in us kept making us want to keep trying... well that's us as adults now. Except now we are trying to save our lives. It's a lot of work! I won't lie - I didn't get these results by doing nothing. I work out and I work out hard. You probably already know that, I gather... lol :)

Are you on MFP? Sometimes its hard for me to distinguish the user names here and there.

Keep working hard! You've definitely got it in you, I can tell.

      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.
