Approaching one year post-op and Stuck

After a year post-op I have happily lost 107 pounds. However, I NEED and want to loose 125 more. YIKES! I have misplaced my motivation. I am not saying I have lost it because I didn't pay 14K to assist me in this new lifestyle/journey to give up at any time. I haven't given up per say. I believe I have just temporarily abandoned my know how and know what.....Any encouraging, helpful, kick me in the butt, get back on the horse and do the dang thing advice is welcome. :oD

I think the more that time passes after surgery it gets easier to "fake it".  By that I mean, sneaking in a handful of nuts now and then without counting them in your daily totals, or not keeping track of your liquids or even tracking anything at all.  I was getting in that rut and put a stop to all trigger foods and excess or unhealthy snacks coming into my house at all.  I had to get back to basics and being stricter with myself.  How about exercise?  Is it getting easy to make excuses to avoid it?  I've had a million.  Like Nike says "just do it" and like I was told by a wise man "don't f-ing quit!"  You know what to do and you owe it to yourself to do it.  I'll be joining you.  Good Luck! 

I feel ya. Really I do. I did a similar post yesterday.  But after some honest self examination I was able to pin point where I went wrong. What old habits did I allow to creep back in? Was I drinking my water like I should? I am avoiding slider, and carby foods? Am I exercising as I once was? Of course after taking a real honest look at my cir****tances, of course I wasn't doing all of that the way in which I should. So I'm determined to get my  mind back right. We didn't have brain surgery we had WLS, so we have to readjust our thinking in order to make any WLS a sucess.  Just as a suggestion, auto analyze your food, activity, and habits. Make adjustments where necessary, and get your mind set back to how it was day 1 of being post op. This is helping me to make the necesary adjustments I've needed to make as well.

Hang in there, but let's get to getting!

Hi Elena...glad to see that you're hanging in there and doing okay. Yes, old habits creep back in when u least expect it...but keep the faith...

Thanks, I really needed to hear that I needed to re-evaluate the possibility of old habits creeping in. They definitely have. But I packed their bags and evicted them Monday! I am determined to get back on track and keep an eye on my cir****tances. Thanks again.
