February Blahs...



Recommended Posts

Just need to vent a little, if I may...

So January was a little bleak. I struggled with the weight I gained over the holidays and was really feeling bummed about this whole process.

But things turned a corner and the scale started moving in the right direction again. I've lost all but half a pound of my holiday weight.

Exercising in the winter months is a challenge as we don't have funds for a gym membership, and we live in a small condo without much room for indoor workouts, so I've been chomping at the bit for the snow to be gone so I can get back out walking (my preferred exercise).

Cue this week... two solid days of snow (about 20 cm) follwed by extreme cold (-35°C, feels like -43°C). And then this morning I woke up with a kick a$$ head cold.

I know I'm whining. I'm suffering from what my mom calls PLOM disease... poor little old me. I just needed to vent my spleen.

hahahaha! You can do it at your pace, just walk in place to her stream. Then you know that you've done about a mile without moving. I couldn't do any of the "steps" she showed. ROFLMAO!

Mrs Ganges happy to hear about PLOM disease, wonder it is caused by the same virus as my WhyMe-itis? Everybody else has their surgery dates, evernoxy is getting their operation. What have I done to deserve this? Why Me? Even Fluffy Chix has hers, i know she's been waiting nearly a year but,.I'm a tad jelly about now.

      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.
