Let God's presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom
to sing, dance, praise, and love. It is there for each and every one of us.
I am down from 293 to 275 this morning. I would like another 10 pounds before 7/27 - but am not going to kill myself - just keep plugging along. I am trying to organize all of the things I will need done before surgery - both at work and at home and frankly that is more daunting than the surgery at times!
I have ordered: Isopure Zero Carb vanilla protein and Syntrax Nectar Unflavored Whey Protein Isolate; liquid tylenol, chewable Gas X, wellesse liquid calcium. And I have purchased centrum adult chewables, some crystal lite, sippy cups, strainer, pill crusher, etc...
Anything I am missing? other than preparing a will!
Persevere.
Some days you wake up feeling tired or distracted. You just don't have the time or energy to follow your WLS regimen at that moment. So, you skip breakfast, or eat that slice of cold pizza that you righteously avoided the night before. Days of discouragement shouldn't surprise you. They are reminders that food will always be complicated -- either a comfort or a distraction.
The key to real change is perseverance. When you take a misstep, for whatever reason, know that you will continue to persevere in your WLS recovery. You will start over at the next meal--you will overcome the temptation next time. That is how you'll succeed. Being perfect just isn't going to happen. So persevere.
Action for the day: No matter where you are in your recovery, today you will persevere. Start over every time you stray from your plan. Start over as often as necessary.
