Dispair!
I am a pre-op so I can't say I know how you feel..
BUT it sounds as if you've put a lot of pressure on yourself!!! You're comparing yourself to your mother and sister and people on this board.... You can't do that. This is YOUR journey!!!
It sounds as if you have all of that negative self talk (we're all so good at it) going on. That's just more pressure if you're thinking that everyone is going to say "there goes the one who blew the surgery" Maybe when you have those thoughts you could REPLACE them with "There is one courageous lady who has dropped over 100lbs and is going to get to her goal"
My therapist said those are like old tapes running in our heads and we have to erase the old messages by making new ones. Positive thinking does help!
Of course you should come here and post even when you're down or upset..that's when you need us the most!!!
That whole get back on track thing irks my nerves... about as much as "why don't you just go on a diet"
Hang in there and stop beating yourself up and pressuring yourself. Change those tapes. You are one incredible lady who has come so far and nothing can stop you!!
