Thank you in Weight Loss Surgery

for the tips

In a previous entry and complained about how I don’t feel like I have as much energy as I should for how much weight I’ve lost even though I’m still “morbidly obese” and I got 2 good tips.

Number 1 is the fact that since I don’t have kids or anything else pressing after work, I don’t have the outside motivation to “keep going” after work.
IF I had kids they would be my cause to go to the store or take them to the park or whatever else it seems like normal people do after work. But with no kids I’m free to veg on the couch after work, I don’t really have a “reason” to do anything else.
And truth be told - if I had fun plans after work I’d prob be motivated to go do them, but I don’t. So with nothing fun or pressing to do after 5, I just veg out.

I’ll also say that I downplay everything. Cause after work I do clean, and take walks, and maybe do internet research on my own life things instead of work things so recently I HAVE been doing thing, they just haven’t really been exciting or active things.

Like people who take a run after working an 8 hour day and then still cook dinner for their family or God Forbid have a 2nd job they have to run to after their first.

I feel like I’ll NEVER have THAT amount of energy. But I WANT to have it.

ANYWAY

Number 2 was the fact that I’m still eating really low calorie wise.
I eat about 600 calls a day and while I feel full off of that, it might now be enough “fuel” to keep up the energy of a 238lb morbidly obese person.
Once I get to my goal weight, which right now I’m telling myself is 180, and then I get to eat more to maintain that weight - maybe my energy will increase.
When will I get to my goal weight? Maybe the end of the summer? Maybe the end of this year, I don’t know.

I guess I’ll just have to check back on my energy level at that point…

but either way I do like these two suggestions I hadn’t thought of and it makes me not feel SO bad .
