I heard this the other day and I love this as an ultimate goal: Eat when we have to and what we should; not when we want to and what tasted good! Wow what a concept huh?

It's funny, as happy as I thought I was when I was heavier, pales in comparison to how happy I actually am now. These 11 points are so true :)

what do you mean you don’t want anything to drink??

Your pants are barely holding on but you’re still holding off to go shopping.

overjoyed at the release of a new Protein bar flavor…or a sale on your favorite Protein Bars.

Quest® has a new flavor?!?!??! Ahhhhh!!!!!!

rejoice at the small things

You smile as you think of how far you’ve come and get excited to think of where you’ll be soon.

Thank you!!!!!! @@B-52 !!

Newly sleeved and still healing, so questioning my choice until reading this - many reasons why I will be glad I did this.

And adding:: Getting on to theme park rides with my very young daughter without being kicked off for not being able to use the safety belt!!!

      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
