I worry sometimes that I'm not losing fast enough even though I know people lose at different rates. It's like head hunger but about weight :)

Does anyone else feel like they are stuck? I know it's a mental thing, but sometime I feel hungry when I know I shouldn't. Is anyone else struggling with this? Im so scared I am going to back slid and I would absolutely die if that happened. Just looking for confirmation that I am not the only one struggling

You are not the only one struggling! I feel the same way you do...

I do feel like I get hungry. I have also started revisiting some bad old habits.

I really had to do some "honest self talk" and in a kind way remind myself that I have all the tools I need to be successful and get to and maintain my goal.

#1~ PROTIEN! I always feel better and eat cleaner when I meet my Protein requirement.

#2~ EXERCISE! It helps me mentally and physically to stay positive and know I am living a healthful lifestyle.

#3~ POSITIVE SELF TALK! I will combat doubts that I will reach and maintain my goal..I I fight the doubts with a few affirmations I have chosen. "This hunger is in my mind and not my body" is one. I repeatedly remind myself of what I did well and not what I may have done that was not well. An example is when I think of that extra food I grazed on and I start the negative defeating self talk I focus on what I did right instead. I tell myself I am proud I exercised, drank Water, had my Protein shake or met my Protein requirement for the day.

I have a back injury and can't exercise as hard as I would like and I have used that as an excuse for my stalls..part of the process for me has been "being real" and identifying where my actual challenges are and where I am making up excuses for some of the bad habits I have.

I think we all doubt our ability to succeed! Knowing we are not alone in that is comforting. We all have the tools and just need to use them! You have done outstanding so far at 69 pounds!! You know what to do Girl!

Does anyone else feel like they are stuck? I know it's a mental thing, but sometime I feel hungry when I know I shouldn't. Is anyone else struggling with this?

@@BabyGotBack Thank you so much! I guess I just need to focus more on the positive. Im just not where I'd like to be and am being quite negative about it. Thank you so much for the pep talk!

      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. 🤞
