2013: Day 38 a new force

Thursday, February 07, 2013

After last night's weigh-in I am starting this morning with, yet again, a new force. I didn't stay as vigilant as needed this week resulting in a small gain of .4lb. Now really? .4 is ridiculous! I wish that our Tops scale either said a half pound or a whole! I am so aware of all the things that I did wrong and know what to do this week to see a loss. Isn't it funny how we sabotage ourselves when the going gets good? Asking myself why I did just doesn't seem to satisfy me. I had a nurse ask me, recently, why I don't just have WLS..I feel that, for me, surgery might create a big loss but would not take care of the emotional eating, twisted self talk or even the will to just be thinner or healthier. I think that if I were to go thru with surgery I would not be successful, so here I am:a Spark member, a 38yo woman who is capable, willing and able to lose my extra weight by my own and more appropriately God's own power. To do that, I need goals. Yesterday's goals were not all successful, so today they must be!

Thursday's Goals:

Freggies needed? emoticon 7

    You are right. WLS is a tool, not the fix it and it is over. It takes dedication to stay on plan after the weight is gone from surgery just as it does from regular lifestyle changes. Can surgery give you amazing results? Absolutely but it can also be a struggle. Hang in there and keep pushing forward. You will find your groove soon.

    hang in there Becci! Keep setting your goals and working toward them. your healthy choices will never let you down. eventually it all comes together and even the scale will agree. Sounds like you are in the right place for you about WLS too- it isn't a magic wand, and unless the other issues you mentioned are addressed it is sure to be a failure (as so many have learned the hard way) Keep plodding forward- your diligence continues to inspire me
