HOLD MY FEET TO THE FIRE! ACCOUNTABILITY TUESDAY
Accountability Mission: No Mercy and No Excuses
Tell the whole truth and be accountable. How have you started the week? Did you do a little self examination? How do youu grade yourself? For each category: food exercise calories protein water carbs vitamins fats etc, where do you stand? Choose what matters to you and grade yourself on each. Are you satisfied with your report card?
Throw hormones and metabolism in the mix and you will learn that the effort you put forth does not necessarily dictate your results. Success will come much easier for some than others. Perhaps you've earned an A or a B+ yet weight loss is insufficient as though you were a C-. Well, life isn't always fair. You just need to keep at it.
Be brutally honest about your grade. If docs and nutritionists fail you or provide only limited guidance, don’t despair. Do your research and examine your options. There are numerous fat loss plans that can be molded to suit post op bariatric nutritional needs, pre op needs, and never going to be an op needs. Look at alternative ways to manage your diet and exercise that meet your requirements. Review and revise until you find the best solution for your body. Take an intelligent, methodical approach towards finding your personal path.
...All are welcome, jump in at anytime.

V'N MY RNY. WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.
The steroid crazies have kicked in. I have bottomless pouch disease and I am the meanest ***** on wheels out there right now. I actually sent a profanity laced message to bing.com because I was pissed to hell with the ****** up directory results searches keep returning instead of a list of legitimate sites meeting my criterea.
Still, I cant let that be an excuse for fkcuing up from every vantage point yesterday; and, begining today just as fkcued up. I have got to reign today in and salvage the remainder. No Mercy and No Excuses (thanks MsKim).
Nine days to go. Goal: Reinforce the good habits and eliminate the bad habits. Day 12 is done but I refuse to use days 12 & 13 to screw myself.
- I will rid myself of unproductive behaviors; and
- Reinforce behaviors that support life long maintenance
Sorry to hear that you are having a rough time. I know there are no excuses but a least you got some things to blame that are out of your control. You will get it together, especially if u don't go mia. Feeling the need to put it out there makes me do better because I don't want to keep sayn the same old thang or trying to make up something new. We are accountable!
Only meds I'm taking now is to curb all this gas. It's helping. With that being said, here is Tuesday's menu - should have kept the carbs lower but maybe tomorrow.
Still exercising, taking vitamins drinking liquids. Scale not moving yet but can't let that concern me right now. It will have to move sooner or later. This empty band is not going to let me defeat myself. I am the manual tool that will keep myself under control until my band can be filled again.
