Accountability

Arlene F.
on 2/19/10 2:45 am
Today I had my 2nd fill.
I was accountable to my doc and the nutritionist.  First though, I went to a Barix Post Op meeting and faced my bad choices there.  I realized that, Yes, I did make bad choices and I didn't follow the rules in my Barix Bible...Hence...the reason I gained 1 pound instead of losing.  My fault, nobody to blame but me...I didn't work WITH my tool...So..WAKE UP CALL for me.  I need to follow the rules, get back on track and get back to being proud of me...

I can do this...1 pound was a gift...I'm grateful it wasn't more.
I need to unlearn my bad habits...

Rules are NOT made to be broken....not in weight loss land.

Thanks for everybody's kind words...I WILL DO THIS.

Arlene,

The great thing about the bad choice .. it's all behind you now .. don't forget it, in fact embrace it and remember not do to it again. WE now move forward (the reason I say WE is because you are not alone in this journey)
Good Luck on your Journey !!

Tom

Hang in there Arlene - we all know that it gets tough sometimes!  Kudos to you for being accountable and not trying to make excuses or blame something else.  That takes a lot of courage and I am certain that you will make really good choices going forward!
Best Regards,
Chris

Good Choices....that should be my middle name.
I did admit...I felt  relieved to admit my mistakes and now I am going to try, try, try to be good.
Measure and make  better choices.

How are you doing?  It looks to me that you just got banded...Everything going okay?

You CAN do it Arlene.  Owning it is the first step to changing it and remember this is a journey and there are gonna be bumps.  We are growing and learning how to make this right and work.  You will figure it out.  Hang in there.  :)

I can do this...I have to!!! I still struggle but am now writing down my bad choices instead of ignoring them.  I am being accountable to ME.
Your weight loss is amazing.  Did you struggle in the beginning?

I am learning and trying....I do not want to fail....again.
