I drive myself Crazy!

Why do I do this?

I browse through the WLS Grads Forum and get down thinking of the struggles that lay ahead. I was never this way before the surgery. I was always the person that was so positive. Always living in the moment and thankful for each day.

I worry myself to death about gaining the weight back and being the person I was before. Don't get me wrong I know my weight will always be something that I have to continually watch and the surgery is a tool.

WHY DO I WORRY SO MUCH ABOUT SOMETHING THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED AND MAY NEVER HAPPEN TO ME???

I have to slow down and remember that I am doing well and have changed many of the bad habits that I had only 4 months ago. I try to get the bad thoughts out as soon as they enter my pea sized head, but sometimes it is hard.

You are not the only one!!!  Much has changed in 4 months and it takes time to adjust.  I son't thik I ralized how unhappy with myself I was until I got to where I am now and I am terrified of going back.  I hope that will help keep me on the right track.  I found a picture of my self a little over a year ago and it spoke volumes about how I feel abput it and how far I have come.

Just so you arn't swelling on it, I think it is "normal" (what ever that really is lol)

Hope everyting is going well!!

I know exactly what you mean, I do the same thing plus I always feel like I am not losing enough weight.
