"A Million Little Things" kicked my ass tonight. Gary, his cancer and how they all rallied. 😭

Puts it all in perspective.

Treat yourself with love and respect in all areas. I struggle with ugly self talk. We are all a work in progress.

Today, I say to myself that I am worthy of all good things.

So, "my truth" is I have depression. I am taking medication for my depression. I don't hide it or shy away from that part of me. I wanted to share that after I had weight loss surgery I struggled with increased depression. It was temporary, meaning a few long months, but did get back to MY normal. I have a therapist and an amazing support system (friends and family). Even with all that, it's work to get through. I think that is part of why I'm loud and proud with my journey. I don't want to hide any part of who I am. My approach had been beneficial for me. It's different for everyone. I read this article and it helped me with my journey. I hope you appreciate it as well. ❤️

My guilty pleasure when we camp. 1 piece of toast with a little sugar free yummy on top with breakfast. We don't typically get this brand of bread. There are better nutritionally friendly options. *note the sweet photo bomb in pic 3 ❤️

There is so much to take in with these words. This journey/process is not just life changing but also life altering. Enjoy the ride. Embrace the changes. You will be happy with the new you.

One of my favorite moments of all time but y'all who is that woman?? The first two are from 2020. The third one is 1 year post-op going to the Roller Red Carpet event October 2022. I would say I need a redo with Tony and Earl!

18/04/2023

Yep! I'm gonna go shake my ass!

I call this meal my LAZY BREAKFAST.
-1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese
-12 to 18 green grapes (depending on size of grapes)
-1 pkg of Kodiak Carb Conscious Oatmeal.

Yum!

After an embarrassing long time (almost 3 weeks) I am back at the gym. I struggled with "life" and all that comes at us and made excuses to not go...big mistake, HUGE (name that movie ;-) ).

You never regret exercising but you will regret NOT exercising.

Missed these lovely ladies. With them it's not exercising 🥰

I LOVE this!

Without sufficient self-esteem, we suffer…

Our health, our work, our relationships…

And the yearning and unrealistic expectation we put on ourselves to be perfect only sets us up for disappointment.

Because NO ONE is perfect.

But… we are ALL worthy of love and care.

You can be both imperfect and loveable at the same time.

Comparing ourselves to others is a common source of self-esteem issues.

And, when we make these surface-level comparisons, we can very quickly feel less-than, worthless, and less loveable.

It’s great to recognize another’s strengths and accomplishments...

However, you too, have so much that makes you unique, amazing and worthy of your own praise.

No doubt that we have things we want to improve on and grow with (myself included).

But we don’t need to shame ourselves for not having/being there yet.

Please be mindful of the story you are creating about yourself…

Nothing says “I love you” more to yourself than practising self-care.

This can be as simple as sleeping enough, eating healthy food, getting in a workout, addressing health issues etc.

It can also be saying to yourself outl oud “I love you and you’re awesome”.

Self-care is not a luxury; it’s a necessity for our health, our self-esteem, our relationships and our well-being.

Much love,
Misty

THIS will be for life! If you have bariatric surgery, plan on supplements daily for life. I mean, so what, we should take them anyway. I put my daily vitamins in that container and take throughout the day. Yep, I typically set a timer to spread the calcium and iron out. It's a whole thing 😬

Calcium Plus - 3 x daily
Multi-ADEK - 2 x daily
Vitamin D - 1 per day (my labs showed I needed extra D in my life)
Iron 30 - 2 x daily (my labs shown I need the extra dose. I may get to go to 1 per day but not today 😁)

I include the below list but they are not required. I hope once my hair gets back to normal I can pull back on these a little
Hair, skin, nails - 2 x daily
Biotin - 2 x daily
Collagen Peptides

I get all of my supplements at Roller and plan to forever. At least until they tell me otherwise. I signed up for this plan and sticking to the plan I will. Honestly, they are comparable in price with any other quality supplement. They are specific for bariatric surgery patients. I'm not going to mess with what works 😉

This morning's breakfast
I love Oatmeal!

Bari-oats
1/2 cup fat free fairlife milk
1/4 cup organic quick oats
3/4 cup frozen cauliflower rice warmed (or 1/2 cup warmed)
1/2 serving protein powder (approximately 12 grms of protein)
1 to 2 tablespoons of Sugar free maple syrup)
If I'm feeling the need I splash in a little sugar free Torani's caramel syrup

This is approximately 28 grms protein and 28 grms carbs. I will add a little fruit from time to time, as you can see.

Good morning! Yep, been way too long. I have realized that I need to keep up on here. Being here keeps me accountable, vulnerable, and supported. I hope to do more sharing. I have known that this is a life changing process. But, the realization that the work will never be done. It's life long. I'm here for it though!

I'm I maintenance and doing great! I want to be sure it continues. So, hello again ❤️ I plan to post a little more.

Missed y'all
