Do you have "Goal Doubt?" I've got goals and I'm STICKIN' to them! Week 20-21 Lap Band

[maryposa1978]

oh boy do I ever!  Can't help it, I was stalled for over a year no matter what I did before surgery so ya, I worry that I will fall way short of goal and get stuck again and then what? I have already done my "last resort" option and had surgery!!!

[Dizzidc]

Yep, hear you completely...I'm not even close to getting the band just yet I have 3 more appts w/the nutritionist with True Results and then they submit to my insurance. I'm nervous however u all keep me motivated! Thanks!

[SarahWillBeSkinny]

Yeah, it does seem like it's "soo far away".. but it WILL HAPPEN. Don't doubt... I felt the SAME exact way girl. But it WILL happen. Esp if you put your mind to it! :) -- PS: You are absolutely GORGEOUS... Seriously. ♥ good luck! & I'm here if you need to talk sometime!

[mboogie555]

I completely understand where your coming from on having GOAL DOubt.....Cause I was telling Myself What If Im the One PErson who gets Banded and Doesnt Reach My Goal Weight Loss......BUt I definitely agree that You have to make that decision and Make that peace with yourself to say....I WILL MAKE MY GOAL

Start Small and then by the time you look at it you have accomplished every single goal....

Best of Luck with you on your journey.....your an inspiration.....xoxo

@mboogie555 Thank you sooo much, means a lot. And you're right, starting small and looking at the bigger picture overall... We CAN do this!!

[foodisnotahobby]

Katie-I failed on every diet for these very same reasons. If I don't set a goal I can't hate myself for failing. My journey has just begun but videos like these keep me going. Stay strong you can do it!

[newtoy4kt]

@foodisnotahobby EXACTLY. Without a goal I can't fail, well that's no longer my mindset. We CAN do this...

[moviestartaal]

i truely know how you feel cause i want to lose 150lbs and it seems like sooo freakin much and soooo far a way even tho i have lost 60ish lbs i still have like 90 more to go. but i just encouge myself and stay motavated! Great video

[newtoy4kt]

@moviestartaal You've lost 60 pounds, woah!!! Awesome job on that!! See, we didn't think we could make it THIS far but we have, so we have to keep pushing thru!!

[iThinspire]

I do not have a final goal weight, either. My doctor has a range that they have set for me, but I know that I feel happy at 170, and can't imagine 150! So, I am just going along setting smaller goals for myself, like a size of clothing, or having my wedding/engagement rings fit. etc... But I agree... why can't WE get there, too?! I think everyone experiences doubt, just because we have failed so much at trying to achieve goals. Time for a mindset change, huh?! :o)

[newtoy4kt]

@iThinspire YES, a mindset change indeed!! It almost feels comforting now having a SET goal that I want to reach. Like a ribbon to cross over at the finish line... I'll .. or WE will get there!!

[marissaandmommy]

i TOTALLY UNDERSTAND!! I havnt made my final goal yet either. Idk why, i just havnt. Im so proud of you though!!! You look fabulous!! I think I will never be small...(u watched my video) Ya, why cant we believe we will get there!!

[newtoy4kt]

@marissaandmommy I WISH we could believe our own words, right? Uhgg. But, look at how far we've come! I'm sure deep down we didn't even think we'd get THIS far ... but we have.

[lyndacamp]

Great video! Yes I have goal doubt too! I can't say I want to be a certain weight but I have some clothes that when I can wear will be my goal!

[newtoy4kt]

@lyndacamp I'm glad I'm not alone, everyone has their own "goal" but we are all at least working towards it together! Go us!

[anewme1983]

How great to have this forum to share our thoughts/doubts/dreams/fears! You are rocking this journey - keep it up. I'm so proud of you!

[newtoy4kt]

@anewme1983 Thank you SO much!! I've had good motivators to watch... like yourself!!

[lapband23]

A goal is a goal. Some of us have less wt to lose than others but what we all have in common is the decision we made to take control of our lives. I have one long term goal but I have many short term goals, they keep me motivated.

One day at a time, one goal at a time!

[newtoy4kt]

@lapband23 Love that... one day at a time, one GOAL at a time!! Thanks!

[bandedwendy]

look at you! i am happy for you and the fact that you ran to make this video. i love using YT as my outlet/talk it out/put it on film documentation of my struggles, victories, thoughts, etc. You will SO be ROCKING those size 12's in due time and O N E D E R L A N D is sitting there just waiting for you. We all struggle with self doubt. Heck, I struggle with it on a daily basis. . .will i get all of my water in? will i make the right choice not to eat a cookie at sbux, it is all part of it.

[MissJJinVA]

i need to put mine down in writing.  Mine are just kind of fluid. Maybe I'll do that now that you have. jan

[newtoy4kt]

@MissJJinVA I wrote mine down as well, and I have a picture on our fridge of when I WAS a size 12. A little motivation as I open that fridge door!

[LittleLessShan]

I got a box today... I'm sending you some goodies as soon as I can get to the post office. You are gorgeous.. .and you WILL get there!!! AND... I ate 3 Lindor Truffles last night!! WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING????

[newtoy4kt]

@LittleLessShan You were thinking "no one will see me and they will taste good?" Ha... Sounds like me and kettle chips... Shhh! Can't wait to see the box of goodies!

[gastricRose]

sweetie I so understand ...when I was 447lbs. I thought me Never ... I could never wear a size 12 or small blouse or even large pants so if I could do it ...You Will Do It and yes we all have doughts ..and you will S-E-E Onederland...love and hugs...love rosemary

[newtoy4kt]
