Motivation



Recommended Posts

I have the hardest time getting the motivation to start exercising every day. It's so hard. After work I just want to come home and do nothing :/

I am with you , I have been able to get in 1 walk a week, but after being at work all day , in just want to come home and rest... If my husband wakes me up early that's the only time I can get motivated to do something

Yeah I do a workout like 4 days a week.

I've been on a stall with my weight for like 1 1/2 months... I think I'm just getting depressed by only losing like 8 pounds in that time. I bumped up my Protein and it didn't help much so idk...

Try working out before work. I found that getting up early and working out made me start my day out with accomplishing something. If I waited until after work I had all day to talk myself out of a workout.

Yeah that's a really good idea. How long do you work out and what do you do?

I lift weights mainly, but I just started running. I also play soccer several times a week.

I almost always only walk on the treadmill at the gym. On the days that I don't go, I make sure the next day that I walk on my breaks and lunch. 3times around the building outside is a mile or 6 times around the inside for my work place. Try that for you just walk. If that isn't convenient, maybe you have stairs? Any is better than none.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
