Do you ever wonder....?

Do you ever wonder if this is it, I've lost all I'm gonna lose and not another ounce will come off? I've been having another one of THOSE days....and they seem to be more frequent. Although, I always seem to continue losing somehow despite the mind games I play with myself. I HATE THOSE FREAKIN' MIND GAMES!!! Just wondering if anyone else has had those thoughts? And what you do about them, when does wl actually stabilize, and what you do to jumpstart the tool again? Sharon

Yep!  Sure do....just stay on the horse and keep ridin'! I fell off a while back and am so glad my tool still works 4 yrs later! No one ever said this would be easy!

I'm right there with you right now, Sharon!  I've gone a few weeks without losing anything.  This morning I was SURE I had lost at least a pound - but no such luck.  After pouting about it a few minutes, it dawned on me - I hadn't GAINED any weight :)  For soooo many years, I'd lose weight and then gain it back PLUS more.  I just need to be patient and focus more on getting my water, protein and excersize in.  Think about the positives.  Be patient.  My next goal is to stay off my scale for a month and just focus on my eating and maybe go back to basics. It's nice to know I'm not the only one having those thoughts, though :)  Glad you posted about this!

Yep, Yap - I think that every time I find myself in a smaller pair of jeans.   I started in 32's.  When I hit 24's, I thought - well THIS is cool!  Even if I never go down another size, this is COOL! Then the same thing when I got into 22s.  Again when I got into 20's.  Now I have a couple of 18's that I COULD wear if I could learn to love my muffin top, but I know I'll be in 'em before I know it. And if I never see 16's?  I'll be HAPPY in 18's!   So the story goes...

Thanks for the encouragement. I just recalled today that before WLS I told myself I'd be happy if I only made it to 200 lbs. I've done that, so goal achieved and anything else is a bonus. I just forgot temporarily...amazing how we do that to ourselves, isn't it? I'm grateful for this journey and will try to remember to be content with the results from this point forward. The end IS NOT but without the means. Thanks ladies - you're all fabulous rock stars! Sharon
