Still can't back on track

I'm very easily discouraged, and my appt Friday not only knocked me off track, but I'm miles away from the train station. You all have been very supportive, but I still can't get back to the "up" state I was in before Friday. One time, I had gone to WW, I had one week where I gained 1/2 a pound, the counsellor there said "what are you doing? if you aren't going to follow the program, you are wasting your time". Fine, so I quit. Yeah I know, it's a personality flaw Yesterday was the pits, bad eating, no vitamins, no protein shake and didn't even walk. Today is a bit better, (walked, vitamins, 1/2 a shake.. DAMN DR!) I am really feeling this isn't going to work for me. I can eat anything, nothing bothers me, and the main reason I had GB, and not the banding was so the choice of eating bad foods would be taken from me. sigh.... just venting... again..

Tina You've won half the battle, just being able to identify the problem. You'll surely get back on track soon, don't beat yourself up too much about it. Dianne

Tina, Remember each new day is a new chance. You will get yourself where you need to be. You are in a rough patch but it will pass. Ok, I know you probably want to smack me, but I am full of optimism and pre-op excitement and I'm feeling good! I have enough positive in me for both of us right now. Hang in there and keep your profile updated, the journaling will probably help you be able to spot trends in your behavior and how you are feeling.( plus it is wonderful for us new posties to be able to see your progress and ideas ) You can do it!

Tina You sound like you are your own worst enemy right now.Throw out all that negativity and concentrate on the positive, if you fall down pick your self up brush off and go on just move on past it.Don't let anyone discourage you, you've come along way by decideing to have this surgery so don't expect to fail expect to succeed!

Good Afternoon Ms. Queen of Whining!!! *wink* I have something I want to remind you of ... remember the new size of jeans you have shoved your butt into? That didn't happen for just no reason!!! No sir reeeeeee!!! You worked HARD to get there. I fully expect you to pick that same butt off the ground and pull up those boot straps (now that bending over is so much easier) and FORGET about anything that was said that is negative. That is part of the Tina past Chicky ... you started a WHOLE new life when you had your surgery. Nothing is ever going to be the same!!! PLEASE, PLEASE leave that junk behind you!!! As a matter of fact ... go to the PMRI meeting and drop it off at the door, give it back to them, you don't need it anymore. BTW - Tina ... when I saw you the other day, you looked radiant. You were glowing in a way that I had never seen in you before. On top of all of that, you looked like you were moving with ease and I could really see a big difference in your weight already!!! Don't allow one bad appointment to mess with your head and self confidence like this. You have come too far to allow the words of one mere man to hold you back!!! Enough said ... I have complete and total faith in you my friend. I believe that you are going to be just fine. Should you ever need to talk or simply want to call me to chew me out for being so harsh ... please do not hesitate! I have broad shoulders ... hmmmm come to think of it ... I think I still have a broad butt also! But hey, I am working on it!!! Hugs to you!!! Tammy
