Okay...okay...I'm over it....
Still, it scared the bejesus out of me.
I guess there will still need to be work and willpower after all, eh? It's a good thing I already have such a great kickstart to motivate me...and some awesome peeps here on the forum. :)
Love back atcha all,
Jenn

Trina you have it all under control. As long a you detailed your journal you will be fine. You have shown committment with your weight loss in the last few weeks that will not go unnoticed. Rayleen will see just how ready you are.
Good Luck

Topic: First Meeting Tomorrow
Well my first meeting with Raleen and Rhoda is tomorrow. I am excited but,oh so, nervous at the same time. I have my liquid diet journal and my food journal ready. I am not sure what happens after tomorrow - I guess I wait for an appointment with the Drs and see what happens from there. I stress over every medical appointment but this is taking the cake. I could barely eat lunch today. And I have lost all focus at work....
Oh my...
Oh my...

Hey Jenn, don't beat yourself up....this road we are all traveling on is a slippery road. We are all going to slip from time to time....its how we decide to continue on the road that matters. We are all human and always remember that. You have done awesome thus far and I only hope that when I am post op at 5 months I have achieved what you have:) Your a tough cookie so get back up and start traveling down that road again and keep in mind the road is slippery when wet :)

You are so close to being all that you wanted. This was just a slip up. You recognize it for what it was and move on. Plan on having good for you snacks on hand, get the crap out of your reach and if you are that busy that you need fast food choice is key. McDonald's doesn't really offer a choice but Wendy's chili, Tim Horton's soup, Subway soup or wrap. I know I haven't got there yet but I am planning my exit strategy's as we tend to do a lot of travelling and can't alway cook for myself.
You are the one in control now.

Hey Jenn: Remember that you are way more active then you were before.
Go on and excercise that McChicken right off. I'm far from your stage in
this process but I'm sure once we get there. Having a treat like that once
in a while is going to happen. As long as you work it off !!!! You are normal,
normal people eat those things. When you are active you are able to work
it off and get on with it the next day!!!!

Jenn,
We travel this journey one day at a time. You had a bad day where you took a step backward on this journey but tomorrow you must make yourself step forward again. The important thing is you realize what you have done. We will all slip at times and we just have to work harder then next few days to make up for it. Remember how you feel right now and think about that the next time you want to cheat. You have done so well and come so far. Take this as a warning that you are now at the point where it becomes work. We will all reach that point.
Now you are like a normal person. You have 35 pounds to lose and will have to focus your mind and work your a$$ off to get there. Even if you just want to maintain you will have to work at it like a normal person. You were once morbidly obese with a slim to none chance of losing the weight you needed to. Now you have lost most of the weight with the help of your sleeve and will have to make a real effort to keep it off or to continue on to reach your goal. I know this sucks right now but you need to put it all in perspective. CONGRATULATIONS ON BEING NORMAL JENN!!!
Love you,
Tina

Jenn,
First of all take a deep breath, you made a mistake, but you are still rocking that sleeve! The good thing is you caught it. It does not mean you are going back to old habits. You made a mistake. Now you are allowed five minutes and five minutes only to be mad at your actions, yourself and curse a little. Then dust yourself off, put the mistake on the far back corner of the shelf. Do not let it taunt you or tease you. And remember It is onward and downward form here.
Keep rocking your sleeve!!!!!
Trina XO

I had a McChicken tonight! A WHOLE McChicken! And I didn't throw up....gak!
Why did I do it? Why did I later eat 2 bags of Halloween chips? And a mini Aero bar??
This is the first time since surgery I have done this - eating that has nothing to do with cravings, just because I am busy and stressed. Sleevie can't protect me from myself...oh God, I don't want to slip back...
Food is about so much more than craving...I think I must have gotten ****y after doing so well for the last five months...
GET THIS **** OUT OF MY HOUSE!!!
I hope confessing here will help me smarten up.
So sorry,
Jenn
