I think I'm going to write a letter



Recommended Posts

I think I'm going to write a letter....to myself!

One of those heart-wrenching dear me letters listing all my feelings about living in the body I have now, my hopes for the future, things I'm looking forward to, the fears I'm facing. And then I want to seal it in an envelope and not touch either until I've met goal or five years or whatever I decide.

At that point, maybe I should write another letter celebrating the accomplishment and how great it feels. That one I wouldn't open unless I needed a serious pep talk or was having issues.

So off I go....

I made a list of everything I hated about being so fat. If I ever lose motivation, it is a great reminder of why I wanted this.

I might have to steal this idea.

Hope to don't mind ;)

You can't steal what's been freely given! I think it would be a very good exercise for me.

What a great idea!! Letters to myself for a future anniversary (like you mentioned) and one when I'm struggling, partially off the wagon or have lost focus and what's important to me.. I love it! Totally nabbing this idea too! Thanks, great idea lady!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
