I think I was just having a down week last week. I had not lost any weight that week and was just feeling bummed. However I feel a renewed sense of things will work out and I will continue to make progress. I know things are not moving as fast as I would like. I also know that it is at this point that I get frusterated because the weight seems to stall and not come off.
That is exactly why I am having this surgery.
It is just like the surgeon said. It is leveling the playing field.
With some of my health issues he said to imagine it was like I was at a race but starting 20 yards back behind everyone with a backpack of extra weights on. He said that the surgery was just a tool to level the playing field and get me up to the starting line with everyone else.
it made so much since to me since I have felt that way many times in my life, especially when I have been trying to lose weight in the past. I have watched it just melt off others, and mine just barely drop little by little. Even when I was being supervised. It is so frustrating and emotional to feel like a failure at something you want so badly.
then i would stop because I would kind of feel like....what is the point? it was a vicious cycle.
I am so ready to make this change and have this surgery.
I really think it will change my life for the better!!
