It is funny...when I tell people I still need to lose about 30 lbs they always gasp then laugh & either ask me where I plan to lose another 30 lbs or they tell me I will blow away if I lose another 30 lbs.
I know these people are trying to be supportive when they say these things, but they really don't realize just how destructive those comments can be. They give me permission to be complacent...to not follow my plan & eat things I shouldn't. Then before I know it I am up 3 lbs making my new goal 35 lbs left to lose.
Then I see a friend at work who had her WLS this summer & is doing amazing, I see a post from my cousin on FB with updates from her WLS (she is down 75 lbs), another post from a cyber friend on FB who had her WLS 3 months after me modeling her new size 6 clothes, & then a phone call from a previous co-worker who will have her WLS next week asking for my advice & what to expect after she wakes up from surgery...little do they know how much they inspire me!!!
I had a good lifestyle day yesterday & today I walk into work armed with a water bottle, lean protein, & clean socks to don so I can walk on my breaks today. Here I go again...thanks for the inspirational kick in the butt guys!
