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.

      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.
