What path are you on?

Our lives have gone thru some much the last two years. Do you ever wonder if your journey is over with your transformation (internal and external both) OR do you feel that it has just begun OR are you in the cross roads of not knowing? I think I'm on the crossroads ... I still have much to learn. I still want to lose more weight. Sometimes too I feel like I don't know what I want to be when I grow up (LOL). Do any of you feel that way too? The last few months I get going back to good habits and eating, then blow it. Altho not gaining, sure not losing. I need to get my focus back, you know the kind of focus we had pre-surgery and as a new post op. During those times it was so much easier to stay on track and exercise. Have a great day whatever you do. Mary

i feel the same way mary! I have gained about 20lbs from where I Was last yr this time and I want them to all come back off and then lose another 20 lbs on top so I gotta get my butt in gear. I thank god my sisters are in my life b/c they motivate me!! sarah

Mary, I find myself in the same situation as you. Sometime I feel like I don't really know what I want. The old habits creeps back in every now and then. I have to regroup and realize why I did this in the first place. Go back to what I know work. Not gaining but scared as heck if I don't get a grip the weight will come back. What are the answers to the old habits and increase appetite? Happy Tuesday Shirley

Hi Mary, Sorry to take so long to reply... I had troubles logging on and finally got it resolved. What a great question! I don't feel like my journey is ever going to be over and that I'm never going to be truly happy (I should use the word content, because I am basically a happy person****il I reach a magical number on the scales. I know we shouldn't rely on a number on the scale, but I cannot help myself. That is one of my many downfalls. It seems like my journey really began in December of 2004, when I completely stopped losing weight. That is when I consider my journey really beginning because that is when I had to start working at keeping the weight off, and I don't think its ever going to end. If I do happen to reach my magical number, I sometimes wonder if I'll be content then? For me, this is a never ending battle.... Although I am very thankful for my good health! Wanda

I am total agreeance with you wanda!! This battle will never end for me and some days I win, and some days I lose. Its the fight that keeps me going and knowing that Ive won in the past... sarah
