I am a little scared of maintenance as well, like there will be a day I wake up and won't have to think about losing weight?! what? what will I do? what will I blog about etc.
With an analytical process like that you should have no trouble developing a maintenance plan! Consider involving your lapband doc in this process, too.
BG-thanks for that post. It was wonderful. I thought we could forget about thinking about anything weight related but I guess I'm wrong unless I develop Alzheimer's.
Too funny about the Negative Nancy comment-I had never heard of it, but guess what-the one sister I can't stand and who is always negative-her name is Nancy.
I will now have to add, Think about Maintenance and how I will feel when I get to goal to my long list of things to do. BTW I am at work and couldn't find any wine.
I hope your day gets better and you start singing that happy tune I usually hear from you.
Okay. Confession time. I did start rolling my eyes a little bit at the beginning of your post. But then I started thinking about how I'd feel if I didn't have to lose weight any more. Such a big part of my life is around losing weight so to have that gone could cause a void. But since I'm so far from that happening, it's hard to even wrap my mind around it - but I understand your point. Great post.
You know, I'm really glad I read this now, and I hope I don't forget it by the time I'm getting close to goal. That is a long time from now, but I'm sure that when I get there, I'll be feeling a lot of this. Scary. But fun to think about. Kind of like winning the lottery.
Hey! Well, I've written a lot about being afraid to admit to finally losing the weight and my fear of maintenance. It all makes you just want to grab a bag of chips and a bowl of nacho dip and eat it all until either the food disappears or your fear and anguish disappears! So, girl, I am right there with you. It's a journey so I guess this is what we should expect.. BUT...geez...there's so much to think about!!! Thankfully, my band accepts wine...;-) Love your blog! Onward! Judi
I'm a wife, mother of three, and eternal optimist. I've been skinny and obese and all the places in between (too many times). Getting the Lap Band is the best thing I've ever done for myself. I love to laugh and I share everything (in this Lap Band Blog ). Have you heard? I'm on a new journey to pay-it-forward and with the encouragement and support of my Lap Band Groupies.........
I'M WRITING A Lap Band BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Join Me!
