There is nothing like being supported by people who have the same goals as you, and in my situation that means HEALTH. There are so many different paths to get there and I will cheer you on no matter what path you are taking. I am so thankful for the Facebook groups, Instagram community, and YouTubers that all have gone through weight loss surgery or who are about to. Being a part of those groups means I get to see how people are doing 10 year after surgery, 1 year after surgery, 1 day after surgery, and how they are preparing for their surgery. I would be LOST without all of them. Of course the hospital gave me a book that talks about nutrition and stages and simple things like that, but these people give me their experience! They do reviews on items so I don't waste my time, they do giveaways so you can save money, they show you all kinds of ideas for food and exercise, they show pain and issues they run into that I might run in to.....it is just amazing. I have people I don't even really know cheering me on just because we have the same goal, and thats exciting.
I come from a small town with a bunch of small towns surrounding and about a week ago I got an invite to a new group for local woman's fitness and motivation. The sweet woman who started it had been in groups with people that do her one specific eating lifestyle and noticed people in there were kind of judgy about how other people were choosing to eat, if it wasn't like them. So she started this group so that woman who have the common goal of fitness and health could come together and share ideas EVEN THOUGH they weren't all eating the same. The group actually encourages everybody to talk about what they are doing that works for them and she is constantly on there cheering everybody on. It is so interactive and I love seeing what everybody else is eating or struggling with even! I now NEED to find a Bang energy drink because they rave about them and I gotta try one haha :) I shared with the group creator that I would be having surgery in December and she was so excited for me. I can't wait to have yet ANOTHER place to share my weight loss journey where I know they will be cheering me on. Thank you E.S. for doing this for all of us! If you are reading this and you don't already have some kind of local group started, maybe this could push you to do it!
Thank you to anybody that allows me to follow their journey, thank you to anybody following mine, and keep kicking butt everyday! If you haven't started your health journey, today is a good day, and if you have fallen off the wagon, get right back on. Life is precious and short and I am so excited to REALLY be living it and to know that is is only going to get better and better with the choices I am making.
