Guest guest Posted December 27, 2002 Report Share Posted December 27, 2002 Hello everyone! I'm in need of some motivation/help from you all. I guess I should start out by introducing myself. My name is Janice. I'm 27. And I am getting close to 2 years out from my open RNY (March 8 will be 2 years). I have lost about 140 lbs. I'd like to lose about 30 more. In the last two years my life has changed dramatically. I'm so much more happy than I was 140 lbs ago. And, I have a beautiful little girl (4.5 mos. old now). Anyway, I have slipped back into my old ways. Snacking and such. It really started when I got pregnant with my daughter. I lost 40 lbs throughout my pregnancy. So my dr was continually on me to eat. And now that I'm not pregnant anymore I'm having trouble getting back to the way I'm supposed to eat. I just can't seem to get back on track. The holidays certainly haven't helped any at all. I know that once your " window " has passed it takes a lot more work to lose. I just need some kind of motivation (maybe a big kick in the rear, LOL). Can someone please give me some pointers for getting back on track? Is there something I can do to jumpstart the weightloss again? I'm willing to try anything. I guess I'm just looking for some support. I've kind of lost touch with this part of my life. I have tried to put that part of my life behind me, but it seems to be creeping back in, and I'm in need of help. Thanks! Janice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got myself remotivated again. WHY did I suddenly quit the protein supplements, the water, the low carbs???? It is time for my usual " self-sabatoge " that I always have done....every time that I reach goal.---as if I DON'T DESERVE THIS THIN BODY???????? No. At any time, with this surgery, we have the capacity to retrain our tummy/pouch. It was a struggle, but....I AM almost back to the exercise routine that I used to do (while losing) and do well. I AM watching my carbs, etc. I AM back on my water and protein supplements.... I KNOW that I could turn my 9 pound regain into......oh, a 59 pound regain. And then, poison my mind by thinking...if I hit a gain of 75, I will stop. HA! It would then be 100 and 150 pound gains. I THANK GOD that somewhere in me, there is the strength to force myself back to the gym, etc.... Kick your own arse & get busy! It is never too late......unless, we just DO NOTHING and hope to remain thin by osmosis. There are times....that I wish I had had more than a proximal RNY. But, this was the procedure that I had & I WILL find a way to continue to work with it..... THE PROBLEM IS ME....not the surgery. ME. I know this for a fact. Here I have this wonderful tool before me.... How dare I abuse it. Especially when I was a self-pay! Ya would think that alone would be enough. Nope. Good luck to you, Barb B.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2002 Report Share Posted December 28, 2002 Barb, I'm right there with ya! I know it's me. I know I have to get back into the swing of it. And no one is going to be able to do it for me. I've regained 10 pounds, and those 10 make me feel miserable. I truly don't even remember feeling this miserable when I was 9 months pregnant. I'm getting all the " crap " food out of my house and get my butt moving again. You're right! It's not going to happen by osmosis! LOL Those darned exercise videos are doing me no good sitting on the shelf. lol Thanks for the insight and motivation. (I knew it wouldn't take much) At least I know I'm not alone in this battle. I'm not the only one who's regained a few pounds and fighting this day in and day out. Thanks! Janice Re: Need some help Hi, Janice. I just got myself remotivated again.
