Initially my motivation For starting this process is that I was sick of being afraid and sick of being in pain all the time. Now my own progress and success motivates me as well as being a good example for my kids. We do so much more active stuff together and I love it!

Inspiration is easy to find right here on this website. We are overcoming odds that are stacked against us every single day. We rock!

Pics of my progress graph since June (surgery was in aug) and my babies ❤️❤️❤️❤️

They were huge fans of my NSV last night. Hubby still gives them piggyback rides to bed even though our 10yo is 5'3". I got to take a piggyback ride down the hall too this time! We are BUSY!

Ok I know because I'm running this challenge so I should have all my ducks in a row but nah, this is real life. You are all my motivation.

I fought the innate food laziness and moved an entire box of Protein Cookies (yes I have a whole box don't judge me) out of the way to get a packet of Salmon because I made a promise.

Thank you everyone for partying with me!!!!

Well when I failed the whole dying thing I decided if I'm going to do thing thang called life I'M GOING TO DO THIS THANG! My mind and spirit was getting some sweet slow lovin' but my body had blue balls. I had already decided I was going to do a complete turn around in my thoughts. I now have the desire to live to 100 complete with the ability to still wipe my own ass, like I've been doing since birth as I often remind my mother.

Oh yeah, I also want to look f**king sexy! Now and at 100!

Day 7 motivation / inspiration :
I love catching glimpses of my reflection in shop windows and mirrors. When I'm not expecting it, I see a totally new profile of my body and it blows my mind. So that's my Jan motivation.

Overall, I want to be a normal sized person. I've never really been one except for a few years in my teens when I did Weight Watchers and was a gym junkie. They even approached me to feature as a WW slimmer for their magazine but my body dysmorphia was so whack I couldn't accept I was not horribly obese. So I want to be normal and feel normal. (I know normal is one of those words, but I know what I mean in my head anyhow).

Day 6/7

I've turned a new leaf in the last couple of weeks and have really up-ed my fitness game and its showing. My personal trainer even joked with me asking if I have been cheating on her with another personal trainer in regards to how much I've improved lately.
All this is keeping me motivated. I'm really enjoying how my body is looking and others seems to be also ;)
I was incredibly fit about 4/5 years ago and it's nice to see that I'm on my way back to that point.

"Normal" is so overrated, hon. Trust me, you're on your way to being extraordinary!

      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.
