New motivation



Recommended Posts

I'm so sorry to keep talking about my personal life

But my latest divorce drama has given me a new motivation to work even harder to loose more weight. I want to bump into him months from now and for him to see me looking all sexy and skinny....and maybe on the arm of a good looking guy, while he is still all alone.

Is that petty?

it is whatever it is.

but, I do not let my ex husband have that sort of influence on my behavior.

That used to be called a "revenge diet." Now it's "revenge health."

No it's not petty....it's just how you are feeling at this moment. You might change your mind in a few months...hopefully - in the future- you just won't even care what he thinks!

Definitely normal. :) I was seperated from my ex husband and going thru the divorce when I started my journey. At the time he had left me for a skinny blonde. That was close to 2 years ago. I decided to get healthy for me and my son. He and his new blonde were verbally abusive, called me fat and ugly even in front of my son. I used it as motivation and grew stronger from it.

I lost 80lbs pre op. And am down over 150lbs at this point. I'm happier, healthier and now skinnier than him and his blonde who seem miserable. :)

Needless to say they keep their mouths shut now. Karma.

Not the reason behind my journey. I did this for me. But yea, it's a bonus and it feels great!

Youve got this.

      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.
