Hey Kelly...not sure why this didn't show up on my list of subscribed channels but I discovered accidentally some of my fav folks videos hadn't so am glad I checked out your channel for anything new. Love your hair btw. Great video as usual...I think that processed foods are evil..lol. They are all around us and when you read the label it's like what the hell language is this because nothing on it sounds like an actual food! Hope you're doing well! We need to see an update from you :)
I want to thank u for the way u put together ur videos. I will be having the Gastric bypass surgery on the 15th of February. Now that is getting closer I'm freaking out! All kinds of fear, including the fear of gaining the weight back. Though I do hv a plan in place & I understand perfectly what I need to do to avoid that. Anyways thanx again! U look great
... The way the western medicine determines ideal weight is overly simplistic hogwash. If you're doing the work to have a healthy body, your ideal weight will reveal itself.
Research revealed that 90% of diet/weight/excercise scientists and researchers are anoretic ideating. And that most of the mainstream information about health, diet and weight is heavily skewed because of their anorectic bias. We've just gotta learn to listen to our own bodies and intution to make sound health choices. <3
...#4 You look great! It sounds like your weight keeps going towards the150-160 range. I bet that's a sign that that range is ideal for you. I totally agree that a number should never be the goal; what matters is that you're eating well, excercising as you should, and feel strong and healthy.
Everyone has there own ideal weight spectrum. Even people of the same height may have a different spectrum because the stucture of their bodies is different...
#2 You don't ramble at all! You present your ideas in an articulate, clear and concise manner. If anything, your pace is a bit fast. I'd love it if you spoke a tad more slowly and took longer pauses between phrases.
#2 I have EXACTLY the same experience with sugar.
#3 I completely agree that food is an investment in one's health...
Yet another great video...thank you! I've believed sugar is a drug ...it makes me sad how much sugar is in foods! I love what you said about living a normal life and having a normal relationship with food. I can totally relate to the excess skin topic,too! I hear ya!
I definitely agree with the sugar/carb addiction reaction! I think my doctor's post op 8 week ramp up back to 'normal' food (with no simple carbs) is partly to detox your system to get that out of your system... I have the same carb issue! Great vid! Thanks for posting.
love the 6 year comparison shot. YOU LOOK GREAT! I would never guess you had an excess skin issue. Thanks for the WLSFA Shout Out! I posted the link to the contest on my facebook page last week after I got your message. All the best to you in the new year.
sugar and all that processed crap is the DEVIL! I hear that! glad to hear that you feel better and got away from the bad stuff. never heard of the fast you speak of, but if it works for you that is GREAT! I think that WLS gives us the freedom to give us the opportunity to create a NEW normal. For me, I like to exercise, I enjoy the freedom and excitement from challenging my body. As you speak about your excess skin, it makes me think about me and exercise. that is my wealth for health.
JUST THE BEST VIDEO! THANK YOU-- brilliant perspective- and wisdom..as always! it is much cheaper for me to eat healthy- fresh sesonal Veggies, fruits and lentils, dals...etc are much cheaper than a chunk of hormone injected meat anyday! and we ARE NOT supposed to all e a size 00-4-even 6--or 8 Happiness is not a size and if we think it is we are going to be OCD about it for the rest of our lives. HEALTH and peace of mind should be our highest aim.
ohhhh I sooo have the F* its, but NOT because it's not like I don't care... I sooo care I just can't snap out of it. I am struggling big time for the first time since surgery. Thanks for posting this.
Unfortunately some of us give up one demon-eating everything in sight to then chase a # on the scale for another but the key to reaching, maintaining, and living in goal-ls to Continue to be Healthy!!!! That is the focus to live a successful, productive, and happy life. Great Video
I'm SO glad you mentioned the Atkins thing. My mom did it, and ended up with all kinds of bruises, which were from that diet alone. It's NOT safe. Usually I don't protest diets, but after seeing that, I do. You've done a great job, and are an inspiration. Thank you! We're all different, just like you said, and we'll have different results, but as long as we keep focus, we'll end up where we need to be.
@chippery21 - with that said, I'm 1 1/2 years out, and have lost over 130 pounds. I've since become pregnant with our 3rd child. It's been the easiest pregnancy so far (history of Pre-Eclampsia.) To those that are looking the surgery, please RESEARCH it. I bugs the hell out of me when people think it's the "miracle cure". It's not. It's hard work, and if you've followed Kellawana's posts, you'll see. Stick to the diet. You can EASILY gain it back if you're not careful.
You are absolutely right about those processed, addictive FOODS! More info about the Daniel Fast would be greatly appreciated~ do you have a weblink for that? Sounds very very healthy.
That sounds silly to me about being taken seriously with a muffin top. That before and after pick is amazing. You should post that somewhere for continued motivation.
Wow--what a difference from 2006. Thanks for the video. You covered a multitude of interesting topics. I know that carb monster too because now that I've been eating very healthy I can physically feel my body reacting to even healthy carbs...The ole wanting MORE syndrome.
Thank you sooo much for this update! I've been saying that I'm going to be obsessing about something different when I have the surgery and I don't really want to do that. I would love to get to a point where my sleeve isn't the primary thing on my mind. A work in progress...oh and I'm voting...
Very well said! I couldn't agree more about these other obsessions that some people in this community are turning to. Being a size 0 is not the goal...being healthy is... regardless of what size that is. Thanks!
Good to see another of your vlogs. Sounds like you're right on track re taking excellent care of your body NOW. You do live the consequences of your choices along the way. I'm set for my VSG 1/25. I enjoy tracking your journey.
Thank you for being so honest...like always! It is so true about the processed food and sugar addiction. I read a study once where they got rats addicted to sugar and cocaine, independently. Then they gave the rats the option to choose either one and 9 times out of 10 the rats chose sugar over cocaine. That, in itself, says A LOT about what we humans go through with food. You are looking great and doing great. Another great video! Looking forward to the next one. Aloha...
Kelly, you look amazing. Keep up the good work.
