I can't believe that I didn't see this video when you posted it...you are one of the folks whose videos I ALWAYS watch for...but I think there is a reason for everything...it's like you are speaking directly to me my friend...and I came by this video now this week ...because I believe I've turned the corner on my struggles...and this time ...now is when I could absorb and accept the truths in what you say...love you to bits girl...you are one of my constants! Thank you!
I love the intro to this, I am going through the same issues. I love my friends that are "Perfect Athletes" Or stick with it well but I sometimes fell intimidated by them. You are real and I like that. This is the realities of what most of us struggle with. We are not perfect, If we were perfect we would have never have needed surgery. The good thing is you know when you get off track and get back on. You have come so far,. You are beautiful. I love this video. I have learned to love myself.
Love your words! Ive never fallen in love, never been with someone who ive really wanted to be with, etc...but I'll still take your advice and love myself. Focus on me and what will make me happy and do it! Thank you
@SaraiR88 Hi! Thanks! Thats ok if you haven't ever been in love, even better... you can fall in love with yourself and treat yourself right... that way when someone comes into your life, you will know if they mean those words or are just saying them... you'll have something to compare it to. Life is short. Make it count! <3
Thank you MJH, I just posted a regain video in response to an anonymous youtube message about regain fear a future surgery seeker is having and attached the link of your to it. Your appreciated!!!
@isthisthefast Hey Sandra! So you're juicing now?? How do you like that?? I hear good things about that...especially when it comes to getting our veggies when we are non veggie lovers...
Thanks for this! I have been struggling for so long and not making videos for just this reason! But I haven't quit! So thanks for making me feel so much better! All the best! - Wendy
Thank you. This was the first time I watched one of your videos but I have to believe it was put before me for a reason. Exactly what I needed to hear this week.
@MsBandtastic Hi! Nice meeting you! If it resonated with you, then I am glad. The weight loss journey is a lifetime journey... and i feel that some people just needed a gentle reminder of it. Thanks for watching and thanks for taking the time to comment. I appreciate that!
just seeing this today. it has been a long time since i watched a video of yours girl. LOVE seeing what you have to say and how you get your point across. i guess i could have bailed at 34 seconds cuz you describe me, but this video did not tick me off. lol. thanks for caring and sharing with us all. i am posting this on my facebook page; great message for all. I motivate in the way i motivate. we all have our own style. Keep being you Jane. Thank you!
@bandedwendy lol! yes, you are an athlete and you weren't the person who i had in mind when i said that... you are out there motivating and leading people... not shaming them...big difference. I love all you do for the community.. keep that up! i love it and i need it! :D
First, u look wonderful.. I am well.... 2 years out and 155 lbs down, not at goal... But Life changing, to say the least... Find me on fb lots of Pictures.. Its crazy how 150 lbs transforms a body, Good and not so good!!! much love!!!
@iamapeacemakr very true! i didn't know you were on fb... send me your name on there so i can find you. i tried searching by martina and iamapeacemaker but couldn't pull you up....
MissJanieHere it is SO good to hear your voice here. This is Shaya from FB (not sure if you knew that) I like the concept of falling in love with yourself and what is going to make me happy. Thanks for making this vlog :)
@GhrelinBgone Hey Shaya!!! Thanks for commenting! I think you are doing so good on your journey. You look absolutely gorgeous... and like I said the other day... You totally inspire me!
@Taina009 Hi! I was just watching your video last night. I think you look absolutely fabulous! and you made me laugh when you got mad at the mirror fogging up... i hear my sons complain about that every day! lol!
OMG!! I can't believe this...I'm hoping you are back, You are the number one reason I went thru with having VSG...I hung on your every video and we personal messaged while I was in the hospital...I had to change my old YT name was 2blssd2bstressd or something like that. Thank you for making another video as this is where I find myself 2 yrs postop. God Bless you!
@MissJanieHere Doing well!...I am almost 5 months out now 80 lbs gone and still plugging away, loss is slower but still headed in the right direction! :) I still have not allowed myself to "try" anything that has sugar except natural sugars and things like sf creamer and cool whip but I am so afraid that if I try a cookie or ice cream and I find out I don't dump it will just open up dangerous territory. No pop either! I can feel my inner voice getting louder screaming "just try it" but not yet!
@Reddaisy73 I think that is a wise choice! What's the point of ingesting something that is truly a poison, not just to us wls peeps, but to everyone? At least thats the way I look at it... plus the mind is a powerful tool...why waste it? lol! Congrats on the 80lbs! Thats awesome! This is a journey, not a race... so slow is very good. It gives you time to enjoy each step and get to know yourself better as you come down. Have an awesome week!
Very well said my friend Amen to falling in love and feeling the worth .... I was so happy to see a video from such a great inspirational lady ...love ya and can't wait to see you ...love rosemary and connie we love you!
@gastricRose Rosemary!! Here's a big hug for you and Connie! I can't believe I came on here myself! I saw something that made me feel I had to come on and give a little bit of a diffferent perspective. I hate to see friends of ours feeling bad about themselves... they have lost themselves somewhere along the way and forgotten this journey is not about the number on the scale, but the love in our hearts... for ourselves and for others. Love you!
@allsunnydays aww...thanks! I appreciate that! There are people, unfortunately, that don't feel the same way though... but this world is big enough for all of us... all our diverse thinking, all our diverse goals, and all our diverse shapes and sizes. Thank you so much for not only watching, but commenting. How is everything going with you?
@DreamyJeanne1 Thank you for that... honestly i was worried that people who are hard core rule followers would feel that i was being delusional or something like that. I am all for the rules, followed them hard core for two years, and now I have just added some to make my life....well... i guess my life. Thank you for understanding.
Thanks for making this video for us non-athletes. :) And thanks for keeping it real. Sometimes I get down on myself (now that I'm 1.5 yrs post op) b/c I don't make the best decisions. But as you said, this is MY life. I am ultimately the one responsible for going after and getting what I want. And that includes that piece(s) of candy, if that's the choice I make. Or not running a marathon or not getting all my protein in, or whatever. It's up to me to choose the direction for MY life. Thanks!
@CtheSunshine lol... well, i've run a couple of marathons, but i am not an athlete... i don't think we have to become one to be successful... we are all different and amazing and have our own personal goals and have our own personal gifts in this life... I just want people to stop feeling bad about themselves. That road leads us in the wrong direction. Our lives are exactly what we make of them. Thanks for watching!
Jane you have said it well. Beautifully done. This of course is such a sensitive subject for us, but it is a reality. I'm going through my own delima of accountability
@Thebodells Hey Kat!! It is such a sensitive subject...which is why we should check our attitudes when it comes to it... I don't know about you, but when i feel bad about myself, when i am stressed and feel depressed, i want to grab the nearest muffin. that's my MO... so... instead of that, i choose to be happy and I choose me... and if im a little on the upside one day...i know that next week i'll be at least one pound less... baby steps.. love you, girlie!
@blakkandi Diana!! i love you so very much! i swear... i really feel more comfortable lurking around these days but everytime you post a video, you make me want to make a response video back! lol! you are a natural born leader and motivator... and i love where this journey is taking you! keep up the great job!
good video, janie! something good for lots of folks to hear. i wish no one ever had to feel bad about themself. i know that something that use to bring some people up is sometimes bringing them down now and that's kinda sad. but you're so right - don't focus on what others are preaching if it doesn't fit your situaiton. make yourself happy and reach for your own dreams. :)
@seemego2150 i think everyone is doing so good at inspiring and motivating... i know they motivate me, that's for sure! I just don't want us to forget what it felt like when we were the ones losing the struggle before weight loss surgery... and to never ever forget that people are hurting and if they turn to us, they not only need honesty, they need compassion too. There's a way to light a fire under people without using mean words. hope all is well with you!
Thank you for posting this Jane! I need to remember every word you said.I'm saving this so I can go back and watch.It's so easy to get caught up in life that we/I forget to love yourself.I've been struggling with some regain for about a year now.Even with all the running I've been doing,I'm still not eating properly.Love ya and miss seeing your vids.
@cosmobud Hey Todd! Yeah, I know you do... and you run a whole lot longer and farther than me... but life does happen and we stop focusing on the things we want to take care of the things that we have to...but i believe its never too late for a good romance story... especially if its with ourselves! :D love ya!
@KrazyJennie hello! just wanted to remind people that the journey is about learning to love ourselves..and doing whatever it takes to make us happy. we can do it.. :D
I love your videos.. they are so moving, but more importantly down right honest packed. It's nic to see you again!! Been away to far too long from videos.. Hoping all is well..take care & keep safe..
@jenontheband Thank you so much! i was getting use to being a lurker... but i saw something that i know hurt someone i really care about and who is struggling...and had to come on and address it..because i am sure she isn't the only one..
Thanks for this regain video as we all fluctuate. It is no wonder some feel less than they should because all the thoughts and past emotions may come back with each pound. I hope this strikes a chord with many.
@AwesomeForever Thats exactly right, Linda... wls helped us physically while we tried to get a handle of ourselves mentally... for some they were able to find what clicked for them sooner that others...we just need to be supportive to those that are struggling... we need to be honest..but empathetic as well...
So nice to see a video from you¡ i always ay there is a purpose for everyone... Some people are pushers and motivators, some people are crutches to help you if you stumble and some people are cushions to catch you when you fall. All have valid points and purpose but at the end of the day we have to decide what we want and if its a push,cruth or cushion kinda day! You said everything so well & r always so encouraging!(pre op)
Thank you, thank you for this. Really from the bottom of my heart I have dealing with the pain and regrain at this 2 yr mark, The scale shames me and mocks me.
@MsOverweighted Hey Jane! I understand the feelings, but we can't let ourselves fall back into that hole of shame... feeling bad about ourselves got us to the size that we were.... today is a new day. Today I want you to go look at yourself in the mirror and really look at yourself. You are a beautiful woman. Think of how far you have come, decide what it is that you want...and I mean, really want. and then go out and get it. Be determined. Be bold..but most of all be the person you want to be.
thank you for making this....you love to run though...right? and move and groove! life is full of fluctuations! ALL of out goals for post wls should be about heath! a pound or two here and there do not make you unhealthy---you are a good friend supporting us all
@cabernetqueen Hey, Sally... i just hate seeing people hurting and feeling like they have to hide... regain happens, but its something people can take control of. I just hate to hear my friends talk about how ashamed they feel for gaining some of their weight back... and you know that when you start feeling negatively about yourself, chances are you aren't going to make the best choices either. Love you, my friend!
@llhunt37 Hey Linda!!! So nice to see that you still watch youtube videos! How are you doing? I hope all is well with you healthwise and everything wise!
Sooo happy to see you. You are right, fall in love with ourselves. It's the best thing we can do. Remember like you said, "Life is calling". Have a great day.
Jane I just watched this video and it made me cry! I have never learned how to fall in love with me but I want that so bad! I am going to go get it!
Love ya girl!

Think of how far you have come, decide what it is that you want...and I mean, really want. and then go out and get it. Be determined. Be bold..but most of all be the person you want to be.

@cabernetqueen Hey, Sally... i just hate seeing people hurting and feeling like they have to hide... regain happens, but its something people can take control of. I just hate to hear my friends talk about how ashamed they feel for gaining some of their weight back... and you know that when you start feeling negatively about yourself, chances are you aren't going to make the best choices either. Love you, my friend!

@MissJanieHere I am right with you on this..there is no place for shame in our lives on any front! it is the most destructive emotion.
