Getting Back on Track

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

So for the last few weeks I have been listening to s podcasts, exercising

everyday and eating healthy, but then I got sick and for the last two weeks I

have not done any exercise, I am so tired as I have a baby and a toddler and now

I feel like I have certainly gone WAY off track and I am really feeling sorry

for myself..... has anyone any suggestions as to how I can get myself motivated

again?????

THanks in advance!!

I've been there when my kids were little. Sometimes you just have to do it

wheather you feel like it or not. Fake it until you make it as they say. I

used to put on music that was up beat and dance with the little ones they liked

it and so did I. It is hard to feel sorry for yourself when you are laughing

with little ones.

hi there

well done for making those changes despite a toddler and a baby! changes are not

short term and you cant predict illness and run down feelings, but you can get

over them and pick up where you left off, or start all over again, why not?

after all you have a lifetime to follow and the best changes are those done

slowly delibrately and mindlfully, commit to each for just two weeks and they

will become a habit, and when i feel like you i start the audios from the

begining ( i have done that a few times hehehe) they always feel different

everytime, good luck, nr

Way to go on the shoes. My feet went down a bit too. I can't help

you about the surgery question. If you are allowed to get one, I

would say go for it if you can eat more than what you are supposed to

eat and getting hungry between meals. No matter what your

restriction, you are going to be able to eat the wrong kinds of

foods. Try to get the dense protein in first is what my nut says.

As for the exercise, I do understand that. I have a broken bone in

my foot that won't heal and have rotor (rotator?) cuff problems with

both shoulders. I've had surgery on both with no luck. I do what I can though.

Good luck.

Twana, No tough love needed - you're doing just GREAT!!

That's cool about the shoes! lol!! You'll remember this probably forever, but

not the day you went from - say - 253 to 252. It's the NSV's that make LIFE

easier and more fun. So many people focus on scale numbers, but the scale just

does not show the most important improvements.

It would be unusual to NOT need more than one fill, so I'd consider one asap.

Take a look at the document in the files called " When do i need more fill? " to

tell more. Another small fill is unlikely to interfere with your surgery at all

...and you can always have it easily taken out if needed. But even the second

fill is usually not quite enough.

You surely can wait if you'd rather, but I'd personally forge ahead with a bit

more fill.

going on and I was thinking I'd wait for a second fill until I find out if I'll

need surgery or not (I have severe anal fissures and am getting a colonoscopy

and possibly sphinctorectomy at the beginning of September) This has also been

the reason I've not been able to exercise...it's excruciatingly painful! But

still, not an excuse to not eat right!

You've done well. I wouldn't worry about it, especially since you

know you made bad choices. We all do from time to time, we're human.

I sure wouldn't be worrying about a fill yet. I can vary as much as 3

pounds a day (always weighing at the same time under the same

conditions, namely wake up, pee, and weigh naked on a balance scale).

The variation can be by water retention from salty foods,

constipation, or other random things. And I don't even have the

" monthly cycles " (at least not as much) that many women do.

So get back on track. And remember you can blow your plans with soft

or liquid calories (alcohol, ice cream, etc, etc). The band will

never stop them.

Hang in there and don't worry about a fill now.

Hi Bee,

I just got back a few days ago from a 2 week trip to Italy. I planned on

sticking to my diet but once I was there I just gave in to cheating. I wish I

wouldn't have but I did. So I'm back on all the supplements starting yesterday

but I'm wondering if I should just return to my high fat intake or slowly

increase it again? I was up to 6 tbls of coconut oil/day for about 2 months

prior to going. I can feel the candida out of control right now though. I was

eating mainly carbs (lots of pasta and wine). I know this was a major set back

but I just want to get back on track now and do it the best way possible.

Thank you and I hope all is well.
