Resolutions no more just goals.



Recommended Posts

Every single year I've started off saying I would lose weight and focus on my health but this year I actually did it. I was looking at pictures from 1 year ago and can't believe that was me! This year I am not making any resolutions but instead goals. What are a few of your goals for this year?

What is your plans for progress in 2014?

Happy New Years!!!

My goal for this year is go eat more fruits and vegetable along with eating better, I've already quit smoking so my weight is something I want to concentrate on, hopefully next year that won't be on my list! & also work on my patience lol

My goals for 2014. To eat healthy and stay active and reinforce the lifestyle changes I've made so that they are a permanent change in my life.

To take more day trips and at least one good vacation now that I'm healthy enough to enjoy myself.

To get to know my husband again now that we are truly empty-nesters.

To go back to my hobbies of drawing, painting, and gardening. I want to restore my neglected gardens to their former glory.

To walk my dogs daily so they stay healthy, too! (But not till spring - my boys don't like cold and snow)

When I started this process last February my only goal was to be healthy so I could LIVE my life instead of just enduring it. Essentially, that is still my overall goal. :-)

I have a huge move next week across country and away from my family. I think my goal for this year is to adapt well, get more in shape, learn to ski, and work on continuing improving my health.

Those are great goals. A move is big - I've moved cross country five or six times (I know, I'm mental), and being away from family is tough. But, you have new opportunities to meet new people, find new places you enjoy, etc. good luck on your new adventure!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
