who cares if it is the easy way out?



Recommended Posts

I'm still in the very beginning stages where I'm still making decisions, Doc visits, Waiting for approval, sampling these God awful shakes. There maybe once was a time that even I viewed it as an "easy way out." So far, nothing about this process has been easy. Quite challenging, and I really don't expect it to get easier.

Agree 100 % it's not easy and most people could not handle what we have to go threw and to stick with it. I was always small tell I went on fertility to have a baby I gained and had prob so I know how people treat you different and how people think it's easy way out. I had a friend of mine say that to me and I'm like I want you to go 2 weeks with only liquids then come back to tell me it's easy

Whenever I hear the 'easy way out' thing, I want to challenge people who use washing machines and dryers to do their laundry. Don't they know they can cart it down to the river and beat it against rocks!

And then there are those who use freezers instead of killing their meat every day. Oh for shame, how lazy!

I won't even start on those who actually purchase clothes, completely made, from stores instead of milling their own linen from flax plants, and shearing their own sheep. Not their own sheep, that would be far too easy, wild sheep. They have to hunt and shear wild sheep for the authentic living not easy experience.

I do what is right for me. Without shame. Without excuses. And if someone thinks I took the easy way out? Then I ask them why they feel they need to choose the path not so easy?

      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
