When I first got the lap band, i would keep a daily journal on here of how my life was going just so if anyone questioning whether or not they should have the procedure done, they would see my journey. I went into a time of depression and consequently deleted all of my posts and figured I would give up on this blog. Honestly I'm not sure if I will start it up again, but im going to leave this message here for anyone who may come across this.
DON'T FOLLOW IN MY FOOTSTEPS!!!!! Just because things got hard, I gave up and got frustrated with myself, something that I tend to do very often. Rarely had I ever fought through a difficult time. Instead of thinking of the positives like the fact that i am down 30 pounds since the start of my journey, I focused on negative things like my slow progress. I needed to step back and realize that everything won't happen how I envision it but something positive can still be taken from the situation. I labeled my username NewBeginning420 because the band was a new start for me and 420 was my starting weight. I had forgotten the very reason I did this, this is a new start for me and starting today I am remembering that. No more tantrums when I don't like how I am progressing, and no more getting down on myself. From this day froward I will go through with my goal, I will reach a optimal weight and I will be happy with how I look and feel.
