Unrealistic expectations
Feb 21, 2012
I think I had and may still have unrealistic expectations with this surgery…I will be 12 weeks out in 2 days and I’m lamenting over the fact that I’ve “only” lost 50 pounds…sheesh, when have I ever lost that amount of weight in less than 3 months?? I guess I’m seeing people reaching goal in 6 months, 8 months, less than a year and I’m thinking, I’m so behind, I have another 100 pounds to lose!!! I’m trying to keep in mind that before this surgery, I could diet and exercise like a champ, and still lose nothing, so this is definite progress. I’m going to have to reset my expectations and count my successes in other ways…like being able to walk up stairs now without breathing so hard, getting the side eye from guys when I’m out and about, having energy to take my nieces to the park, being able to sport my new short hairdo with more confidence, being able to complete an entire Zumba workout…when I look at it like that I feel so much better about what I have done so far. I have absolutely no regrets with this surgery, now I just have to work on me and my attitude. The weight will come off. I’m determined. Slow and steady wins the race!!
