Seeking healthy, respectful, positive support!

Gaille64

Hi I’m Gaille. I’ve been around MFP periodically; however, I made the decision to go with Bariactric surgery. If anyone believes it’s the easy way out, it’s not true. If I want to be healthy, in spite of my new tool, I still have to exercise and eat healthy. My goals are about health more than anything. I’m turning 55 in November and I truly do not want to spend another decade opting out of life due to health issues along with depression and anxiety. I have a long way to go and I’m looking for healthy, respectful and positive support. You’ll definitely receive the same.

You can do it Gaille! It may be tough, but it’s worth it to be able to do the things you want to do. I have not opted for the surgery yet, and hope to get healthier on my own, but I know several people who have had bariatric surgery and you are absolutely right, it is only a tool, not a miracle worker.

I am doing a modified version of the keto diet myself, and it seems to be working for me, so I am going to stick with that. It’s difficult to stay motivated and keep my brain from telling me that I want something else to eat other than what I am already eating. My cravings haven’t gone away yet. But I am working hard to make myself healthier to do all the things I want to do in life. And finding the support around to help keep me going is essential. I’d be happy to be a motivater and supporter for you!
