What Are You Going To Do After You Hit The Reset Button?!



Recommended Posts

I want to run a 10K.

I think when I hit goal I'm gonna reward myself with a new Harley.

I ran 10k in the Gold Coast Marathon in 2009. I was 110kgs! I was still running everyday for around 20mins and did 5k every 3 weeks until March, I was 121kg. It then became too hard to run. Don't know why I kept putting in weight when I was training and had a PT but can't wait to have the sleeve and start training again and know that I will be losing weight, not gaining it!!

Ps. Love the idea of new Harley!

I want to go to one of those photo studios where they make you up, do your hair and then take wonderful photos of you. I want that. I even want to do a sexy naked photo shoot. Just because.

This is fun to think about! Let's see...

Shop at Victorias Secret, Express and Zara

Wear boots

Go to the Water parks and amusement parks and not be afraid of weight restrictions

Further my career goals with out fear of judgment of my size

Zipline (I'm afraid of heights but I would do this if I ever got to my goal weight- just for the 'I can' factor)

Learn to ride a bike- this is sad but I never learned because I've always been fat, uncoordinated and afraid. I want to cross that off my list

Go hiking

Compete in a race. I don't care the distance, how fast I go, but to be able to.

Cut my hair short just because- and not fear my head looks like a basketball

I'm sure I have a ton more lol

I want to do a lot of the things already mentioned by some others like zip lining, tandem sky diving(without worrying about being too fat to be meet the weight restriction), I want to complete a half marathon next spring(I have already done some 5k's and am doing an 8k in November), I want to continue being healthy, I love that i no longer feel ruled by thoughts of eating food all the time, I want to contingent be amazed by the fact that I AM a size 6....you heard it right, a friggin size 6!!! Haven't been this small in, I don't even remember when!!! I love shopping for clothes, taking pictures and not feeling like the fat friend, because when I am out with friends people call me the skinny one...me lol. The sleeve has given me a new lease on life and I am taking full advantage of it...

      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
