The easiest way to avoid regrets is to ask yourself this question, "If not now, when?" It's a powerful way to put life and our decisions about how we spend our time into perspective"

A little blue today Posted by Krista on 2/17/2026, 5:24 pm Not a lot blue -- I did have a great day at work and I did get to the gym for my workout this morning. I binged on the weekend (birthday) and felt horrible - mentally and physically. Cake - 3 pieces maybe 4 and chocolate. I went to bed feeling sick to my stomach so at least I doubt that is something I will want to do again any time soon. I am almost 5 months out from surgery. I thought I would be down 50 by Christmas. Didn't hit that goal. Then I thought I would be down by my birthday. Nope. I know I have lost but not like I thought I would. I do not eat properly. I reached out today to the nutrionist who sent me more information which is a good step. She advises 95-110 grams of protein daily but also 1200-1400 calories. I haven't been watching calories at all. I'm disappointed in myself that I spent over $16K on surgery and am not taking it more serious. I have to turn this around to be what I consider to be successful. Thanks for listening and always supporting me. Just a blue moment ...

I get it. Posted by Paula on 2/18/2026, 11:34 am, in reply to "A little blue today" Surgery is a tool. It doesn't make us exempt from needing to change our eating habits. 20+ years later and I'm still learning this. You can turn this around. You are still doing great.

I’m sorry you are feeling blue… Posted by Cindy on 2/18/2026, 1:16 am, in reply to "A little blue today" Sending you a ((((BIG HUG)))) and know you can get this turned around. We all have to learn to be able to eat a piece of birthday cake or chocolate and then stop. It’s not easy to do. We have all failed at this one time or two or three times …. You get what I am saying. Forgive yourself and move on. Love you.

I am sorry that you are feeling blue Posted by Delta on 2/17/2026, 8:39 pm, in reply to "A little blue today" You are working so hard on turning things around. I wish you could find a way to let go of habitual eating and eat for health, but that is the hardest thing to do, or we would have already done it after all these years of struggle.
