Closer to meeting my first goal!

I posted earlier this week that I wanted to lose my COVID 10ish and I am halfway to that goal. Monday, I weighed in at 177.9 pounds and this morning I weighed 171.7

I have been really strict with my diet and have not touched ONE SINGLE THING that was not on my list of surgeon approved foods. Not. Even. a. Taste. AND I HAVE KIDS

I'm taking this week as a reminder that I can do this. By, golly, it's been 12 years, I know I can, but I don't want to lack the motivation I had when I first started.

I never want to go back. Now, off to log my food in the RNY thread!

This journey definitely has it's ebbs and flows. The battle will never be "won" because we can always experience regain. I am working on setting the little goals and that seems to work for me.

Good luck!

Dee_Caprini, in everything I read about this, everyone says you can experience regain and I get that if you don't follow the proper steps you might and very likely will. My thoughts for down the line once I have surgery, are that I reach a point at which I'm much healthier and happy with myself and my progress and can start to enjoy life. Crossing fingers!

Good for you! You can reach any goal you strive for if you want it bad enough. Now to take my own advice. LOL

I think we ALL need to take our own advice! Why are we our own worst critic!?

Dee_Caprini, I'm hard enough on myself, but my Mirror is definitely worse. Sadly, maybe more truthful!

TJFox, thanks for the encouragement. I think this group of people on here are great. They don't get anything out of answering people's questions, just the good feeling of maybe helping someone succeed. Yay! I feel better every day I'm on here looking for advice!
