i was doing so well on my diet and lost 18 lbs in 3 months then all of a sudden my stomach was hurting and found out i had to have my appendix out....that was on April 16. I've lost my motivation and I can't stop eating. I know it's more of a stress thing but I'm having a hard to getting my motivation back. any ideas?

    At this point swimsuit shopping just depresses me, personally.
    I like looking at success stories here on MFP and I also will force myself to exercise and then focus on how good it makes me feel afterwards.
    Best of luck finding some motivation! :flowerforyou:

    Its tough it really is. I recently injured my ankle (torn tendon) Its not surgery but still depressing because I can move, just not without pain!

    Im craving excercise but previously when something like this would happen I would give up on my weight loss. What keeps me going now is seeing how much Ive lost on my ticker and hating going backwards.

    call your best friend and ask them to do you a favor and schedule a walk with them every other day for two weeks or so. Having someone push you a little bit in the beginning will help a lot. And the exercise will help you to feel less stressed
