Back On Track Together
Tuesday BOTT - What's on your mind?
Hi BOTTers,
Yesterday was a very interesting day for me. I woke up in a grumpy mood. I'll spare you the reasons why but I figured it was going to be one of those days that would not be a good day. I'm glad that I didn't stick to that mindset because it wasn't. I actually had a great day. I talked to a special friend a couple of times and was able to support her (normally she is supporting me all the time!!) so that made me happy, nice family time, got lots done with work, able to advocate for another friend to do something she wanted to do, etc. I'm grateful that I didn't stick to my original mindset that it was going to be a lousy day because it ended up being a great, great day!
BOTT POWER works!

I agree. Frame of mind is everything.
Today will be a special day for me. I´m on day two of getting back on track. Just today I joined this group.
I had VSG in Sep 07 and quickly lost most of the weight I needed to lose. i was very motivated because I wanted to get pregnant at a safe weight. 10 months post-op, with my doctor´s OK, I did get pregnant and now have a beautiful one year old baby girl. She´s the light of my life.
Losing the pregnancy weight has been an uphill struggle and these past few months since christmas break I lost all motivation and have been putting on the pounds slowly.
I´ve decided to take control and get back on track. This time my motivator is my little girl. I want to be a fit, healthy, mother. I want to be around when she graduates, when she gets married and has children of her own.
These are the thoughts that I´ll keep with me day in and day out as I try and get control again.
Obesityhelp.com was there for me pre-surgery and post-op as I figured out how to lose weight the first time. I´m so thankful that I can return and find the same support I did then.
Hopefully I can be of some help to someone else.
Have a great day BOTTers!
