Remove as much Negativity from your Life and You will Succeed and stay Focused

For ME, I find it difficult to stay focused on my goals and aspirations if there is too much negativity in my life.

If someone is constantly telling you that you will fail, how can you succeed?

If someone is constantly telling you that your lap band will fail, how can you get the drive to stay motivated on such bad news?

We all know that complications CAN happen and we pray that they will not happen to us.

If someone has complications, support them, lift their spirits and give THEM HOPE.

If someone is successful, lift their spirit and praise their hard work.

If you lost your band, or is having financial difficulties or have complications and you find it very difficult to continue to support those who are doing well -- without snarky comments, please surround yourself with others in similar cir****tances where you can feel comfortable where you can share your difficulties.

Negativity HELPS NO ONE, regardless if you are doing well, or if you are having problems, I find that when I have problems, I look for HOPE, I look for motivation and encouragement from others and ways to overcome my struggles and that is the definition of SUPPORT.

I HOPE we can get our Positive Lap Band board back where we can ALL benefit from SUPPORT regardless of where we are in our struggles.

In my own words,

N.

Sorry to say, but this forum will never ever be positive again with the high rate of band failures and revisions.

Go to lapbandtalk.com if you want positive reinforcements.

Not everyone has band failures and revisions. I'm living proof. Curios as to why aren't you going to lapbandtalk.com and telling those people they are going to need revisional surgery?

If you're being told you will fail, tell yourself you can and will succeed.  It's not those who are around us who determine our success or failure.  It is the internal self talk that will get us to our goals or defeat us in the end, and for many if us, the internal stream of negative self talk tat led us to be obese.
