Hi GG, I know exactly how you feel. I met a lady at the hospital before we had our surgery. She had hers on the Thursday and I had mine on the Saturday after in August. She has lost 3 stones and I think I have lost just over 1 stone - she is doing so well. I think I lost my stone over the last 2 weeks when I had my fill, because beforehand I had no restriction whatsoever. My mind is still telling me I can eat anything so I sit down to have my rice and end up being sick. What a nitemare!

[gg2007BandSTAR]

i tell you something hun, i know its easier said that done, but we always comparing ourself to what other people have achieved or done. But we need to focus on US/YOU everybody is different and sometimes we so busy watching everybody else we forget about us! 1 stone is still 14lbs off your body that is never to return and you should be so proud!! We need to change mentally which takes alot longer than an 45 minutes operation! We will get there hunny! Stay focused on you and your goals! xxxx

[kirbybl]

I'm glad you did this video. Best wishes on your goal. I'm sure you'll do it. You have the right attitude.

[gg2007BandSTAR]

thank you so much! Ms GG is def back on track now, i will get there in the end! xxxx

[tpz29]

unfortunately it is a long journey for some of us, but like you said, we can't stop. just glad you had that talk with yourself and made a plan to get back on track. even better you decided to start back yesterday and not wait for monday. you can do it!

[gg2007BandSTAR]

hey! i surely do believe that i can do this, and although teh road may be long...i have alot of petrol in my tank to get me through. It just got a lil low....and i forgot to top up so started running into problems! lol But i raring to go...!!! woooo as it says "there is no time like the present" and glad to i started in sat! xxxx

[killarmani]

gg,hey don't trip thing's will get better with prayer,just ask god to help you through. By the way who and what is the name of that song at the end of your vid. Take care thank's keep posting.

[gg2007BandSTAR]

ohh def you are so right, i took this to God in prayer and without him i couldnt even get through one day on this journey! He give me such strength, hope and faith! The name of the song is "i wont stop" by "canton jones" its off his kingdom business album! Go get it its great, has got some great tracks on there! xxxxx

[queenq24]

I'm in the same boat with the scale. I did well weighing in once per month but that's when I was REALLY on plan. I need to work on realistic goals too. We just need to stop BS'ing and do what we need to do. I'm with you girl!

[gg2007BandSTAR]

lol ur right, weighing in once a month was good, when i WAS ON TRACK lol but when i wasnt off track it was just an excuse to delay things lol Definatly setting REALISTIC goals will help. am def gonna stop SAYING and start DOING!!! let kick ass girl!!! I kno we have a lil more weight to shift than the "average" person but will be get there hun!!!! xxx

[ladyblue3]

Hey GG, you are so right this process will take as long as it takes. Its all about being persistent and never giving up. I know you can do this and it sounds like you have your mind right about it. Good luck.

[gg2007BandSTAR]

yep, i know it will take me a while to get where i need to get but the most important thing is i have started the journey and no matter how slow, i will get there in the end!Ms GG will not be giving up...not saying that i wont fall or stumble but when/if i do...i will get up and brush myself off and continue! xxxx

[nicolah234]

[bookyroony]

GG, I am so sorry you have been struggling hun. Please don't beat yourself up. Don't think about yesterday. Today is a new day, and you CAN always find atleast one good reason to do "good". You are worth it and the food is not important, "YOU ARE".. Here's my favorite saying, "Be Your Own Cause" Love yourself enough to take care of sweet GG.. Much love, I know you can do it.. xoxo big hugs!!... Becky
