Failure
Nov 27, 2007
I think I've failed. I had surgery over 2 years ago and haven't lost the weight I needed to. I don't know what to do or how to fix it. Well, that's not entirely true. I do know how to fix it, I still have this increadable tool that will help me if I let it. I just don't know how to get back into the mindset of going back to the basics of making it work for me. My surgeon has a WEPN (Water, Exercise, Protein, NO snacking) guideline to follow. I used to be really good at following that...not so much anymore. I guess it seemed so easy, it was easily forgotten. Personal life changing events occurred that made my weight loss take a back seat to what was going on. I was laid off for about 8 months. Couldn't afford the food, protein, vitamins that I knew was better for me and that I knew I should have been taking. Now, I've found a great job and am busy getting my life back together. Paying overdue bills and setting my priorities straight again. Hopefully, with that will come a re-dedication to the basics that I've been lacking. Getting back to the gym, which I used to LOVE, feeling better about myself and taking care of me again. I guess the loss of my job was a loss of confidence as well. I just had an a-ha moment. lol. Gonna get a little Stuart Smally on you right now....I'm good enough, I'm smart enough...and gosh darnit, people like me!! I love my job, I love my life and I love myself enough to take the best care of me that I can! Wish me luck!!
