Why Am I Scared?

Re: Why Am I Scared?

i can relate to feeling scared. i felt scared last saturday before i started induction phase on sunday. i was scared for a few days into induction.. but i am here on the 6th day and i feel amazing, i've lost at least five pounds already, i LOOK much thinner, my mind feels clear, i have no desire to stop doing induction whatsoever.

its okay to feel scared, or worried that things might not work. but you shouldnt let that stop you from trying. it worked for you before, it works for all of us, and its always better to TRY. you'll do great! you'll suceed, and you'll be happy you went for it.

Re: Why Am I Scared?

Thanks all of you!! ThinSoon, I can truly say the advantage I have right now is water (that's all I drink). LOL!! I started that habit with the 6 Week Body Makeover. I had to drink one gallon of water per day. I don't get up to a gallon a day anymore but I try to get at least 64 oz. a day. Also, it would be great to have a buddy and/or buddies on this journey. Please keep me updated of your progress!! Jcapulet, thanks for the compliment on my picture. You would not believe the beatdown my self-esteem has taken in the last two years (have gained 56 pounds). I'm hoping to regain some feeling of looking "okay" when I step outside into the world. I want my daughter (she's 6) to look at me and feel proud to have me as mommy. Stilltokyo, thanks for assuring me that the fear will dissipate as time goes on. I don't know what it is but the fear is way worse at night. I guess I'm tired and my mind has time to wander (to places it should not go).

AGAIN, thank you all. Your support has been phoenomenal.

Here's a picture of my baby girl. She's giving me the incentive to keep going (I want to be around to see her grow up). I have to stay healthy for her.

Hey lilly1313, thanks for the encouragement and best of luck and health to you on this way of life journey. Please keep me updated of your progress.

Maybe, those of us just starting out can do a daily post to keep us accountable (just throwing it out there for all of you who wish to join me). I would be and am grateful for all the support.

Good idea

Start a special thread in this forum on Monday and then you will easily be able to keep in touch with your fellow 'starters' for support and encouragement through those vital first 14 days.

Re: Why Am I Scared?

Don't do what I do. Don't focus solely on your weigh in, check your clothes and measurements, its not all on the scale. Once you begin exercising , your depleted muscles could be craving new fluids. Focus on how great you feel after induction.
You are worth it.
Good luck

Re: Why Am I Scared?

Thank you jimmyolsenblues. I will admit I am scaled obsessed but I'm trying to work on that addiction.
I'm on a new thread entitled 14 Day Induction Accountability Thread. Please join me. It's not just for people doing induction (just helps to keep me accountable). I'd love to make new friends also doing this WOL.
