Motivation? Where are you?

Has anyone seen my motivation?

I sure haven't.

I was looking back at my weights since mid-July, and I really haven't lost anything these last six weeks.  I need to do something to change that.  I've switched to the 200 calorie meals every three hours as Dr. Yoo suggested, but no change.

I don't think I'm doing anything particularly bad, food-wise.

I've just been LAZY.

Have I thought about running?  Sure.

Have I gotten my ass up and done it?  Nope.

I don't know how to motivate myself right now.  I haven't lost interest in losing weight/being healthier, but I think it's harder now that I feel more comfortable in my skin.  I've gotten complacent I guess.  I need to fix this, but I don't know how.

I'm scheduled for another fill on Thursday.  Problem is, I don't think nutrition is my problem.  I think not getting off my ass is my problem.


I got super dehydrated last week, and saw this weight but didn't post it because that was a -14 pound loss in two weeks so I knew it wouldn't last:


So now that I'm no longer dehydrated, I'm back up almost to where I was before.  We will see what happens on Thursday.

If you have any tips for what motivates you to get up and work out, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE send them my way!

    Routine, routine, routine. Well routine and planning. I make a plan on Sunday for when, where and how I'm going to work out during the week. If I haven't planned, I'm sure it isn't going to happen.

WLS Bullying

Have any of you noticed how much bullying exists among us in the WLS community?  I'm not necessarily referring to those of us in blogland--in fact, I've never felt bullied or anything other than the most support here in my little blog world.  But in other parts of the WLS community I've experienced a lot of "my surgery is better than yours" comments and a lot of size comparison.  It's something that I first experienced when I tried a local WLS meetup.  I was the only person with a lapband at the group and it was then that I decided I would never go back. Now that I'm revised, I still disagree with it.  I would NEVER put someone down because they made a different decision than me.  Even with all my trouble with the band, I would never tell someone that they were making the wrong choice.  Your body, your choice. So, what's sparked this topic of discussion, you might wonder? Well, last month I went on a trip to meet several VSG sisters from instagra...

Burger or salad?

Image
I've been craving a burger. Not just any burger. A CHAR GRILL burger. Char Grill is a local NC burger joint that used to only be in Raleigh, but now there are several other locations in Cary and Chapel Hill.  The one in Chapel Hill is my own personal hell , because it is SOOOO close to my work.  I drive by and smell the lovely scent of grilling....EVERY...SINGLE...DAY. So today I finally went and ordered a Jr. Cheeseburger, no bun. This is what I got:   A cheeseburger?  Or a salad? Anyway, I was slightly amused by how much lettuce is "on" my burger. Coincidentally, I know my taste buds have changed...because this was not as delicious as I imagined it would be.
