"Attracting "a Healthy Body Weight, Part II



Recommended Posts

  • Now that you've gotten clear about why you want to lose weight, it is time to write a vision statement. I'd like you to write the statement as if it is one year from today. A vision statement is a vivid description of your hopes and dreams. It should be inspiring, energizing, and help you keep clearly focused on the life you most deeply desire to live. The vision statement should contain a specific vision or desire, the feelings you feel knowing your desire has manifested, and the way your life and the life of those around you have been affected by you having manifested your vision. Use the answers from the previous exercise to help you write your vision statement.

  • Here’s an example:

"I am so excited that I am at a healthy weight and have maintained this weight for more than 3 months now!! I am truly at peace with my body and my relationship with food. I feel so free, light hearted, joyful, blessed and relieved. I am enjoying excellent health. I have more energy than I could have ever imagined. I am able to be so much more present in my life. I now play basketball with my children, go dancing with my husband, and have started a yoga practice. I walk with a bounce in my step and keep my head held high. Getting dressed is so much fun! My memory has even improved. I am much more productive at work and as a result my income has increased twofold! I am so excited by my new found energy and health that my bliss just emanates from me for miles and miles. I no longer avoid social situations, in fact I now consider myself a “Social Butterfly”! I love feeling, living, and being healthy. My family and friends are so inspired by my way of living that many of them have started living more healthfully. My husband and children love that I am much more involved in their everyday lives and have said they feel more loved by me."

It's your turn now!! Have fun with it!!

All the best!!

      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.
