Glad you are wanting the accountability Diana!  I do too, we all do, lets face it.  This journey doesn't get easier but we also need to be grown up about it.  You are right, we hurt nobody but ourselves!  I know I sure didn't get on that operating table and have my guts rearranged with possible vitamin deficiences in the future just to gain the weight back AND deal with that.  I shoulda stayed obese if I wanted to play that game... ya know? 

I am gonna be on tomorrow.  Sit down tonight Diana and make your plan for tomorrow.  It is time to GET REAL with ourselves. 

Share your goals if you want to.

I am going for 120-140 grams of protein, 1200-1400 calories, limit my carbs till my snack monster goes back to hiding, get my carbs from soy, hood milk/dairy, and nonstarchy veggies ONLY, 100 oz of water minimum, all vitamins taken and do SOME form of activity tomorrow even if its walking 3 miles.

Be ready... "I'll be back!!!"  

me too, me too and I sure wish I could get rid of it for ever..... I lost the weight, look nice, I am healthy, have a loving husband, great son and on top of that we are in the process of buying a new place....what else can I ask of life? How can I be happy with what I have?

Hello Everyone!

Alright... I have been going back reading the posts and it seems we are all having some food issues... Am I correct???? 

Ok.. ready for the stern side of me to come out?  Are ya ready??? Because this is for ME too....

1) Enough shoveling in of food unless its on your PLAN.  Yes plan, you must make a plan.  Committ to sitting down and planning your food intake for the next day.  If it is NOT on your plan then you cannot have it, Capiche?

2) Get MOVING.. I am also screaming at myself here!  I have been SOOOOO laxed on exericise lately its pathetic!  Soon it will be winter and even harder to get outside, enjoy while we can people!!!

3) Get tha****er in, ditch the soda, yes even diet.  Our bodies need clean, fresh water.  PERIOD.  You can do it!  I can do it too (I need to!)

4) Stop the emotinonal eating battle... do something else to deal with your emotions rather than raid the fridge.  Put a picture of yourself preop and your ARC's from Beck on the fridge as a reminder why this surgery and maintaining your weight loss is SO important!

5) Take your vitamins so your body isn't craving nutrients.

6) Have good snacks available, cut up veggies, light string cheese etc to grab for instead of the junk.  Just b/c u don't dump doesn't mean u should be sugar loading!

7) Be good to yourself, take time to meditate, journal, self reflect  and appreciate the smaller things in life, also your family and friends.  Remember why you had this surgery in the first place.

I will be coming around more for me and for you... you guys do the same ok?  Time to get serious before we go the wrong direction like many do postop this point out.  Let's get real people... we need to!

My interview is tomorrow... I am having it in front of a panel of physicians, administrators and nurses.... wish me luck!

I will be back on tomorrow to check in... get ready for daily accountability, brought to you by Mel ;o)

Love you guys!  ((((Group hug)))) we are in this together... recommit with me!
