28 weeks Post-op RNY...food addiction and other discoveries..

[MyLawsofAttraction]

I am just starting my weight loss journey, and if hopefully all goes well i will have my LB surgery in August. This video really hit home to me!!! I am a food addict, and I was having a conversation with a friend who it slim and fit, and she is desperately trying to convince me not to have surgery. This Video hit the needle on the head, words just cant express. Please continue with these videos, I am considering documenting my journeys as well. Stay Beautiful, Stay Blessed!

Always enjoy your videos, Ayeshah. Thanks for the topic, really timely for me as I'm still early in the process and struggling with getting my exercise in this past week. Good to see I'm not alone and that building stamina is an on-going work.

So neat that you are realizing your dream of running. 5K here you come! I'm excited with you. Hmmm...maybe someday I'll be out there running?!?!

Great video...I am a food addict. You are not alone. This made me really think about getting back to OA (Overeaters Anonymous) support group, I think I need the extra support. If I eat one piece of candy, white flour, carbs, I can't stop and that's a huge problem. I was a food addict before surgery, so now I am a addict with a smaller stomach, that's all. Snacking is the worst for me. Thanks for sharing so honestly!

Great video! I love the way you think. You've done such a wonderful job on your journey that we can't help but be inspired by it. You really got me thinking about my triggers and I just may be doing a video on it when I get the opportunity.

So great to hear about your start in exercise. So far in my pre-op stage I'm doing 4 miles walks and aerobics 2-3 times a week. My present to self come surgery is a Elliptical machine. I hear great things about them. I found one @ Walmart by "Gold's Gym" I seen great reviews on. You get me motivated everytime I watch you! I can't wait for my surgery. So far I've lost 31 lbs. Enjoying the Youtube challenges recently. <3 Angela

[cabernetqueen]

wow finally have a moment to just focus on you! such wisdom girl-- self awareness- recognizing our unhealthy relationships with foods ....i have found the carb monster has stopped chasing me for .bread-, pasta, potatoes etc..(lately) but the sugar monster-in forms of cookies and brownies- nope- can't have them in arms reach.... it is all about knowing yourself and your limitations-- and you know what? life is worth living with out some FOODS! lol!

You look MAHVELOUS DAHLING'!! Your comments regarding fitness is so on point. Planning is key to our journey. You are successful and I applaud you.

[AwesomeForever]

That is a great thought...don't even go there. I took turkey to a spaghetti supper. I put it on my salad. A friend asked me if I ever get tired of eating like that. No, I just do not have any desire for spaghetti any more. I had my cheese and turkey to keep my protein up. I was making a donation to our youth work team fundraiser and my grandson was enjoying his time among friends.

ok, so all that i could see in this video, besides your smile were the start of collar bones! loved this video. never thought of myself as a food addict, just someone who could not control her portions, regardless of food quality. food addict = me. yes, this journey is about figuring out where we came from and what we can do to recognize and change for the better into the future. i so enjoy watching your journey through my eyes. Congrats on your c25k progress, i look forward to our 1st run

[GhrelinBgone]

@bandedwendy awh Wendy :) I look forward to our first run too! I was on Venice Beach today and picked up my feet and ran a few steps with Sam and thought about how one day I'll really be able to run outside..woohoo! ohh..you noticed the collar bones :)) I did too and was like hey hey hey!

[losingitwithrebecca]

Wow!! I am always so impressed by you. I simply love your attitude. You've had so many accomplishments! Yes - breathe and stay loose. I like that article mention in OH - SO very true. I know you will become a runner. Walking out the door and running is liberating and you feel so FREE! Dang - I need to get that magazine! Thought provoking video...thank you, Ayeshah. You are truly wonderful.

[GhrelinBgone]

@losingitwithrebecca :))) uh, you're pretty impressive too missy! Please get a subscription to OH Mag...it's always something in there worth reading and seeing others on the journey. Glad you enjoyed the vlog...now onward!
