RE: Having a hard time....

I'm sure others will come up with much better advice than I will. I to am pre-op with 70 days to go until my surgery. I have already lost the weight Dr.Tanaka requested but I must be careful not to slip. What I do is think about what is important to me right now, the quick gratification of some forbidden yummy or the new life I'm looking to have that started this whole process. It would be betraying myself not to approach this without a complete commitment. I've wasted much of my life on diets and this is the last stand.

So, what's more important to you?

Thank you Ron,

That is what I have been trying to do.. but there are some days that are really hard... that is one reason why I try to read what everyone has to say.. I have gotten questions answered and I didn't even have to ask.. : ) I like that... My biggest problem is the stress from family and work and then trying to make sure I find time for me... and I know that I need to be first but as a mom sometimes it hard...

talking has helped .. thank you.. I know I'm not alone...

You’re definitely not alone, Leann.

I’m in the same boat (although I’m post-op). Trying to find the

time for me to go to the gym is difficult with a 4 year old that needs to get

to preschool, not to mention my job. Sometimes sleep just wins over exercise!

All you can do is take each day as it comes and try to do your best on that

day. If it’s not so good, let it go and move on to the next day. At

least, that’s been my approach so far.

Lesa,

You are so right... I'm trying to take it one day at a time ... but if I don't get my work out in the morning.... I'm so tired after work... I think I'm going to see if I can get up earlier and go if not I'm going to see if my son will go with me right after school ... that will be about 3:00 or 3:30 so maybe that might work... its not so late.. I might be able to get to sleep at night.. Its just really hard to stay focused at times... I know that's why I read these post here... they are so helpful... thank you... and good luck with the 4 year old... I have a 10 year old and my son will be 14 on next Friday...

again thanks...
