Topic: RE: Workout

Thanks everyone.  I had to take a two day break from the gym.  I couldn't sit or get up for nothing.  My muscles were killing me.  I feel much better today.  Time to head back to the battlefield. 

I am definitely going to try having a protein shake after I exercise.  I hope it works. 

Taking it one day at a time.

Topic: ALL IN ALL.......I'M GOOD!!
It's my 3 year surgiversary BAFam today......and all in all...........I'm good!  My journey has been successful overall and I can't and won't complain.  Like most sure there's some jiggly parts, and parts I'd rather just not look at some times.....(the girlz....) .......But I'd rather be here where I am today than where I was 3 years ago at nearly 300 lbs.  Thank you God for the opportunity to do it over and get it right.  Thank you all here on BAF for the love and support over the years.

HAPPY 3 YEAR SURGIVERSARY TO ME!!...........

Janice

Topic: life overhaul

Good morning everybody, wanted to give a quick update, first off for all that don't know me my name is Brandy I had surgery in April and down 69 pounds. Its been a short long journey for me and my family. I went through a complete life overhaul. I quit my part time job of 5 yrs, enrolling my oldest daughter in homeschool this year. I have a real passion for workingout and family time. Life have changed only for the better. Hope everybody have a blessed weekend.

Girlfriend, its called dysmorphia.  First being smaller you are forced to face that you were huge even if you were big, fat & awesome.  You also see that having had major success with pounds lost, you are not thin and slender yet. 

I'm sitting here with my legs crossed and foot wrapped behind my calf.  Not a fat person's easiest position with thighs like mine.  I'm holding a 135-140 lb loss.  I'm dressed in size zero jeans.  My belly looks like Pooh Bear and I feel like a fat slob. 

You are not alone.  If nothing else feeling big and sloppy makes me exercise and fight off weight gain.  I hold up my clothes & they look normal.  I put them on & I look huge.  Before wls I thought I looked pretty fine yet I cringe looking at myself  today. 

Fight the head games.  Remember you have come far and are still moving forward.  Hopefully the mind will catch up to reality for us both.
