Not doing well....
Hey Everyone,
I know that I never really posted on this message board, but I thought that it would be good to talk to some people around my area. Maybe make some new friends. But I guess its not the best post to start that, but I know you all will listen and understand me! :-)
I think I just need to ramble and vent. I have nothing to complain about really. I have lost 123lbs in a year! How great is that?! I love it! But I remember telling myself before surgery, I will NEVER go back to my bad eating habits, I will always take my vitamins and I will always exercise. And how, a year later, what have I done?! I have been eating all the “no-no” foods and barely any protein. I have never gotten enough protein. Also, drinking with meals and I have been slacking on vitamins. Which last time I went to my check-up my B-12 was low. I went through a hard time a few weeks ago. I started having really bad self image problems. I stopped eating period, for a week. Yes, I lost almost 10lbs, but I was so sick. Thankfully I had a good friend to help me through it and the Lord also! It’s hard because my mom and I moved in with my grandma and she does the southern cooking that is so good, but so unhealthy. I am getting some menus together to work on. I am so discouraged that I can’t seem to eat the right things and lose the weight. I know that if I eat the right things and exercise I will lose the weight, but lately it’s been so much harder. I was doing a lot better when I was in support group meetings, but with work I haven’t been able to attend. I just need some encouragement and some support to get me back on track. I usually don’t tell people that I am having this problems, because I don’t want them to know I am struggling. I have had so many people tell me I am a model teen for this surgery, and I don’t want to let them down. Also, its just getting hard when people ask me how much I have lost, and I have to tell them nothing.. I am so discouraged..
Thanks for listening…
