    Thank god for Bobby. You've come so far. When your bored at the gym. Just remember the surf lesson you had in Manhattan Beach. I wish I could send you plumeria flowers.💐 I just started my journey all over again for the second time. Hopefully I'll be on the losers bench in 4-6 months from now. Don't be discouraged. It took Sarah 2 yrs to hit goal. Good luck. Sending best wishes to you.

    Congratulations on all that you have accomplished. You are such an inspiration to me. Every time I hear the song "All about that bass" I think about you. I am glad that I am not the only one that is scared about all the changes in my body. It's scary not knowing what I am going to wear because I can't afford to buy clothes that are only going to fit for a few months or weeks. But I realized that I will still be me even though I look different and this struggle will not be forever. Keep your eyes on the goal. Once you get there you will maintain and it will be easier. NEVER GIVE UP! I have a song I want to share with you for inspiration....."Shake it off" by Taylor Swift....But I keep cruising, can't stop, won't stop moving. It's like I got this music in my body and it's gonna be alright....shake it off, shake it off.

    I love you so much, beautiful girl... It's hard to see you struggling, but I know without a doubt that you will get through this. You are one of the strongest people I know, but that doesn't mean you can be strong all the time or that you don't need help. I am here for you day or night, whenever you need me. For right now, just know that you continue to amaze and inspire me ❤️❤️❤️

    I really feel that you will find where you need to be in your voyage again really soon. You have identified where you are struggling and you are doing something about it like the personal trainer, going back to your meetings etc. Look how far you have come, that was a lot of work, you needed to let yourself recharge to move onto a new phase. I am sending you many positive thoughts and tons of encouragement!

    Hey Katie! So glad you made this video and happy you found a personal trainer. Keeping my appts with my trainer gets me in the gym when I don't feel I'll do it just because I ought to.
    The head trip over losing so much really can be a stumbling block....but I think it's a necessary albeit horrible discomfort zone. No way can a person lose as much as you have without your head saying to yourself, "WTF"?
    You will get where you want to go....I have no doubt. I'm pulling for you.
    Regarding those caramels....gawd...something about processed food....that stuff is a slider food...for me popcorn slides...I could eat gallons of it. I don't know how but for me, that's how it is.
    I regularly let my food addict brain convince me that I can have certain foods (and I don't mean carrots and celery and turkey) in my home and I can manage them.... ha ha ha.... no...I cannot...and I regularly waste good money by taking partially eaten or even uneaten foods that I've bought and tossing them....and honestly, it feels good to clear out the cabinets and fridge of the unhealthy stuff or the healthy stuff I just eat too much of, as it immediately reduces my anxiety over having them around and debating with myself over how and when to eat them.
    If i thought a lobotomy would help, I'd consider it!!!
    I know you have amazing farmer's markets in your area. I just bought some dino kale and veggies and beautiful fruit... I'm a soup girl, too. So many amazing, comforting and healthy veggie soups or with chicken or turkey or such...or for me...I love lentil and veggie soup...truly soothing to the soul.
    Big big hug to you.... I'm pulling for you...

    Hi Katie,
    Congrats on your progress you are doing amazing. So much of what you said has hit home with me. I have become complacent, letting old habits creeping. I too can manage to ram down a box of lindors but 3 ozs of chicken kills me. I can recognize that mine is all a head game. I have not been working out, lapsed in logging and I know what to do, I just cannot seem to convince myself to do it.
    How do you find OA is working for you? Have you had any resistance from members regarding your VSG? Keep up the good work
    Kate :)

    I am so proud of you for facing your feelings and talking through your challenges. It is never easy to do, but so so so important. I know that you will achieve whatever you set your mind to. You are strong and beautiful. Sending you positive vibes this week.

    Listen up Beautiful! We're are "Super" Morbidly Obese! We are not wee little "regular" obese. :) Our mountain may take longer to climb but it makes the achievement all the more magnificent! You have inspired me to take action and be fearless. I just wan't you to know that.

    Katie, I am sorry you are struggling. I know how much tougher it is when you've come so far and still have so far to go. Take heart. Stick with it. You can DO IT! Reach out to us when you need us. We all love you and want to help you achieve your dreams. Your spirit has always been an inspiration to me. Let me know if you need anything.

    Katie, you are so beautiful! Inside and out. I think you've done stellar. I mentioned you one of my videos once, because we are just a few days apart. I cell the pick of you with your feet up, post op, on the recliner at your folks house. Looking at the Christmas tree. I remember how excited you were, how hopeful. Katie, you are so far from that post op girl, you've done so spectacularly!! Be proud girl. I'm proud for you. I'm thrilled for you.

    LOVER... I feel for your struggles... I am so glad you have made the decision to re-engage with videos, etc. This community loves you and supports your every challenge! I know one thing that helps me is to go back to my early thoughts and feelings before taking all of this on... going to that dark place, helps re-motivate me (I know... Im a weirdo, but fear motivates me!). What is this thing with 1 year? The honeymoon period is 18 months to 2 years... and that doesn't mean that you cant lose after that, but that is the "easiest" time to do so. You so got this girl! Welcome Back BEAUTY!!! Your heart is so beautiful. So glad you are back home with the WLS community! xoxox... We need you, we appreciate your raw honesty, and I bet you need the community too!! Love you!!!

    I love. I'm glad you checked in and made a video. You have been on my mind and I'm sorry I haven't reached out yet. Please know I'm here if you need me in any capacity. You SO got this! Sending you love and light, sweetie!

  • @therookiereader
    @therookiereader 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you for being so raw and honest as always. It's hard to see everyone around you getting to goal and still having so far to go. I have a fear that I'll never get there. That this is it. It's scary when old habits creep back and when we can do things it feels like we shouldn't be able to do. You are amazing. You've accomplished so much and you're not giving up. You're taking steps to fix the problems you've identified. I'm so proud of you and I'm here cheering you on. I know you will continue to move forward even with the bumps in the road. Remember progress, not perfection. Love you girl!

    Good to see your lovely face. I'm sorry you have been having a rough time. I totally believe in the importance of doing videos -- for accountability and processing. I've also been realizing how much I can eat now and going off track a bit and it makes me very, very nervous. We've still got a ways to go and we can do it. Much love to you my friend!

  • @marywinter8216
    @marywinter8216 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    I get it. It happens to me, too. It was a year for me on November 7th and I'm still not in Onederland...and I was "only" 283 to begin with! My age is part of it (59), but the head hunger is a killer. I can sometimes eat quite a lot for a sleeve patient, and so I'm having difficulty buckling down and just DOING IT. I wish I had a group of WLS buddies like you...but in the end, I suppose we're on our own and need to focus on our individual challenges. I easily have another 60 pounds to go, but for now I need to focus on getting under 200. this body thinks it's "done"...probably because I once spent years at this weight. Sigh. Kate, you're doing great. This isn't a diet, this is life. As such, it's good that bad habits are identified and dealt with. That's still progress. (((hugs))) Thanks for your candor, sweetie.

    As your song says " your better than the best". This journey has hills and valleys. But look how far you have come. Thanks for being real.

    @KatieSinclair0525 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have seriously like binged watched all of your videos within the last 2 days, and you are looking so amazing! everyone has the moments when they just feel down, but in the past you have done a wonderful time picking yourself back up and keeping yourself moving along. And it is so inspirational! You are doing a magnificent job. You just have to keep reminding yourself how much you have accomplished over this 1 year. and remember its only been 1 year! look how far you have come!!

  • @gabbykitty5318
    @gabbykitty5318 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    The personal trainer will be well worth it! It's an investment in you and your family's future. Because of you mentioning this I'm considering hiring one for myself to help kick start my exercise journey.

  • @wandabfreen03
    @wandabfreen03 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Katie, my bariatric clinic said that I will continue to lose weight for two years so the first year is ONLY a date not a predictor of success or failure! . Remember where you came from.....so important to do some soul searching about what you really want and you have all the videos to prove how successful you are. The surgery is a tool, similar to a car, you may want to drive to New York City, but you are the one who has been in the drivers sea t for the last year and you will continue steering that car to where you want to go! Katie, you are 'very' young compared to where I am at '64'. Invest in yourself...a personal trainer and perhaps someone who can counsel you. I used to tell my co-workers they should advise me when I needed 'a checkup and a check' meaning that I might do well to go to a psychologist. They don't solve your problems but they present the right questions so that YOU can make the best decisions possible. Over the years, I have always visited a psychologist when I needed some help in figuring what to do and how to proceed. I took 'Learn to Skate' this Fall and am joining my gym,in January and this gives me privileges to continue to use the ice Mondays to Fridays between 8:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. It also gives me access to a brand new pool that has been built in my town. I like to step out of my comfort zone....it allows me to get excited when I accomplish something I have never done before and to boot, I meet an entire new group of people and life becomes exciting again! Oh, and be sure to watch 'Under the Tuscan Sun' so you can see the limitless possibilities you have Katie because you deserve to treat yourself well and put yourself first. Hugs. Wanda

    This journey is so challenging! We've had a long time with those old habits that seem to just be waiting to take over again. Hang in there. You've worked so hard to get to where you are. Hugs, Judith

    @juliesjourney9784 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Having a plan makes all the difference in moving forward in the right direction. Even though you are struggling, like we all do... the important things is that you've acknowledged it, and are now taking steps to correct it. You are an inspiration Katie.. keep posting and be patient with your journey.. the success will continue to come.

  • @My2girlsknh

    Katie!!!!! I am so sorry things have been rough for the past couple months. I do have to say that I haven't seen you in a couple months and I can see a big change in your body shape. You look fantastic. I am sorry you are in such a funk I am in one too it feels like you just want to give up on everything but we can't do that. I am always here for you if you need a friend. BIG HUGS!

  • @Jennluna75
    @Jennluna75 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    You are such an inspiration to me. Your raw honesty helps me prepare for the good, the bad, and the ugly. I will hopefully be sleeved sometime in January 2015. Everyone has a struggle, a set back, we are human. What really matters is how we react to it. Love yourself, be proud of yourself, just look how far you have come! You have an amazing support system, I hope to meet you all someday in the near future.

  • @RockinRobinVSG
    @RockinRobinVSG 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    I for one would be so happy if you started making videos on a regular basis. I think you are my favorite original VSGer. I am only 10 weeks out and have already started falling back into the same patterns as before. I think partly because I stopped making videos and interacting with the community and because I'm feeling sorry for myself. I love watching you struggles and successes and even if you don't know me, I consider you a big part of my weight loss journey.

  • @cassvanm
    @cassvanm 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wow it's like you were talking directly to me Katie regarding the life/sleeve balance. I'm struggling with this also (7 months out) and feel that the clock is ticking and my sleeve is like it's running out of time. Thanks for the honesty, it's great to hear that we all have the same crap going on. Sending you good vibes to keep the motivation going mate - you are doing so bloody well!

  • @sleevinkimmievsg9695
    @sleevinkimmievsg9695 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    I was so excited to see you posted a video! You are one of my favorites and you are such an inspiration. I am only 7 weeks out but I have been having some of the same struggle with junk and eating things i shouldn't (and too much of them). I have decided that it is just part of the learning experience to find out how easy it is to slip back into those habits and we just have to dust the crumbs off (literally) and move on. Can't wait to hear more from you in your journey, adventure, road... whatever :)

  • @ateenytinytummyforchristin7267
    @ateenytinytummyforchristin7267 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Videos like this are hard to make but they really help you and those of us who watch them. I can relate to seeing others reach goal and knowing you have a long way to go. But i really admire you for all the wonderful things you have pushed yourself to experience. I need to learn to be more daring and grab life the way you have. We all stumble, especially when we have a long journey to start with. You rock and i want you to know i'm here for ya. I hope you are still able to come to chicago in march. ♡♥♡♥♡

  • @TheSherbear352
    @TheSherbear352 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Katie I just wanna give you a big old big right now! I know just what you're talking about where you've come so far but still have such a long way to go and it starts to get overwhelming. I have spent the past couple of months struggling with letting my old habits creep back in then getting them under control. It certainly is a tough mental battle especially when other people are getting to goal and you have so far left but we can do it! I know you are a tough cookie and you have not become a triathlete and run races and lost well over 100# to go back to that dark place. Break the carb cycle asap if you haven't already. I know for me that starts the little sugar monsters in my head running crazy and they won't leave me alone till I eat a bunch of crap but if I stick to protein I seem to have lots better resistance to all the junk. Definitely stay more present in the community where the love of us who know the struggle can keep you in the light. Love you girl! I believe in you!

    @jedibitch 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Sister you and I are so in the same place on the eating thing. I ate like 8 sugar cookies in one sitting! Video's are great for processing right up until the time you don't feel like you can talk about (in public) what's really consuming you. Hang in there!
