Nope, not really. I used to run a bit just for fitness and weight control when i was in my late teens, early 20's, but I dont think I ever went as far as 10kms - and I'd certainly never entered an event before this year. But they're really motivating, gives you something to work towards. In April I want to do a 15.2km Run for the Kids in Melbourne and after that, I want to do the half marathon in next years Melbourne Marathon, oh and the City to Surf in Sydney in August..... lol.

How inspiring! My trainer and I just set a goal for me to run a 5K in the spring. I've been running for a few months, but am still really slow. My goal is to have a "presentable" time before agreeing to do the race. SO, that's what we are working on now! It's challenging but I feel SO good about my fitness level when I can run those miles!!! Who would have ever thought I'd be running??? You are truly an inspiration! Good for you!!!

      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.
