SuccessThisTime58's Journal, 27 January 2015

Please, if you are stuck OR thinking about re-starting...just take the next step...I am convinced one reason it took me so long to get started...and why I basically lost 18 months of regaining and having to re-lose OVER 60 lbs. was that I knew that if I ever lost enough weight, it would SOMEDAY mean I would face a very serious abdominal reconstruction.
But, for me personally, I ALWAYS knew what the next baby step was...and sometimes even the next 2-3 baby steps...
But I kept thinking...I just don't know if it is worth it to face that major surgery...but finally my loving daughter - - who is a nurse...said, Dad, you really want to have that surgery on a NON-EMERGENCY basis...(which led me to think how much better it would be to do it that way for me and for ALL of my family -- IF done on an EMERGENCY basis, I might not even get the skilled surgeon in my area who specializes in abdominal reconstruction...SO Am NOW looking forward to losing below
300 LBS...SO I can find out if that surgery could possible go as well
as my Sleeve Surgery did...ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT...OVERCOMe FEAR and Move on with healthy habits...
So I offer all of us this quote to help us all
TAKE THE NEXT STEP.....Whatever that is for any of us:
“Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.”
― St. Francis of Assisi

Trust Me...and trust yourself....whatever the next step is on your journey to better health IT IS NECESSARY... So lets do it....WE MUST TAKE IT....and because of FATSECRET...we can take it together!....Thanks for listening and for your treasured affirmations....Y'all are such a BLESSING :)

Thank you for that inspiration. Time to start thinking what baby steps I can take with my life right now.

THANK YOU... I needed this, I know I am sabotaging myself, yet again... and had this same conversation of the regaining/losing about 100 lbs last year and wondering WHY I would want to do it again. Thank You and good luck!
