Default The hardest part.....

So..Jerry and I were talking....and he's waiting on his surgery date....I reached a realization in my conversation with him...(and BOOTS & I talked about this some too!)

It's not about:

the foamies
the pain
the food
the protein
the exercise
the extra skin

THE HARDEST part of this journey is getting your self-image in line with your weight loss! I see the pictures...I know my energy has increased, I feel better....but somewhere deep inside, that "fat mentality" lives on.

I think the mental part of this roller coaster is the most difficult and will be the most challenging to overcome!!! I've fought weight my entire life, and while my body is changing sizes weekly, it''s going to take a while to rehab my mind!

Keeping it real, and my eye on the prize!!!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

YES! this is it. this is "the thing" and its so hard to verbalize; at least it was for me. but yes i agree 100% it all happends so quickly that you dont get a chance to settle into the change. our minds will catch up and we'll get there.

I know how you feel everyone keeps telling me that im looking great and that they can tell that i have lost 40 pound. i can feel in my clothes but when i look in the mirror i dont see it. When i about 21 i ate hardly nothing and exercised for like 3 hours a day. i was obsessed and anorexic and weighed 115 pounds (which i gained back like 50 pound that year and kept going up) but when i looked in the mirror i still saw a fat girl that everyone would be staring at, because i looked so fat. I hope this time i wont have that problem. Maybe im old enough now that i will be comfortable with my body and how i look and feel about myself.

Yep, so true! My husband and I were talking about this the other day. I say that I see the same person that I was 3 months ago when he tells me how I am getting small.
