I'm New!

Hi everyone!

I've been watching this forum for a long time and finally decided to join. I just finished my 6 months of nutritionist visits and I'm getting ready to hopefully schedule my VSG date pretty soon! I'm definitely very excited to start a new chapter, but I'm a little nervous too.

What has been/was the most difficult part of your weight loss journey and how have/did you overcome it?

Looking forward to getting to know everyone!

Hi Mary! I'm new too! I just started yesterday on this forum. For me, I'm at the beginning stages of my weight loss journey, so I think the brunt of my struggles has yet to come yet. At this stage, though, it's the eating out and the sweets. I've had to basically cut off seeing my friends because I realized that our relationships revolved around food and eating out. Also, I have a terrible sweet tooth, so I'm always struggling with that. sigh Day by day though.

For me long termed it was the fallout with my friends. I lost quite a few of what I thought were life time friends. That one was a shock to me and hard to deal with, but I had to walk away.

Second is hanging tough when life gets in the way of you taking care of you.

If you ladies need anything let me know, I am here to help

The toughest for me is maintenance, which I knew would be the case. Everything leading up to that point went easier than expected. I mostly struggle when I am out of my normal routine, such as when traveling (as I am right now). When I am home and have a normal schedule and can stock my usual foods, I do well. I know how to eat and not feel hungry.
