Hi! I am from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I am a Child and Youth Worker for the public school board. I work on changing special needs children's behaviour. Now I am working on changing my behaviour towards food. Please join me in my journey!
Hello, Shoshana, greatful the video to know in detail the progress of how your lifestyle followed after losing weight in almost 2 years, more uploads to share, please.
Shoshana, ask for another social worker. If I can tell you one thing, nothing sucks worse than a counsellor who doesn't understand that you need help to heal from your past. For your own peace of mind, try it.
Aw, sweets. I hope you get to a place that you can love each phase of the process. It is rough... when you have a thought that is not positive TALK BACK WITH A GOOD FACT. Overtime, the negative gives way. xoxo
Reitman's size large!!! that is great so you are definitely getting smaller. your face looks much slimmer. are you finding it easier to do things like contain your student? i bet its easier 82 pounds down. try to stay positive. its only been 22 weeks and you have come a long way in that time. You are doing fabulously!!! :)
the bloating thing is weird since it sounds like its all foods? maybe you are just noticing it because you have a lot less fat in your abdomen? or maybe eating too fast/not chewing enough. crazy dogs and work sounds stressful to me! heh. good work on the losses, its going well if if you dont agree or see it. :P
Thanks so much. I just made an appointment with my surgeon just to get checked out. It's weird because it just started to happen within the last month or so.
Thank you for updating!! You are doing wonderfully!!! Put it this way.... I showed my husband a pic of you on surgery day and today's pic and he said wow!!! She's looking good!!! And I whole-heartedly agree!! If you haven't, go back and look at old vids and old pics and you will see how much just your face has thinned. And you are never alone... I'm here and so is everyone else.
Hey hun!!! Finally 😊 I love seeing your updates and your dogs 🐶 😊 It's definitely a mind game!! I can relate 💯 Just today I went to a field trip with my son, pics on ig, and I felt "normal" until a few parents pointed out how different I look. They say they can see a huge difference. I come home and don't see it! I just see skin and the same fat girl! Ugh! It's horrible.
looks like the leggings are on sale this week ... I liek the store, but you really have to go early in the week to have any chance on finding what you want! sale started wednesday!
Hey girl! Just wanted to let you know I switched my subscriptions over to this account. I used to be "The Therapy Mama". I just didn't want you to think that I stopped watching. I hope you are doing well!
Wow! You may not see the differences, but I sure do! You're looking great! Have you ever looked at your first video and compared it to the latest; maybe then you'll see the difference. I'm sorry your job is so stressful; is your March break coming up soon? Hopefully the break will help. Big hugs!
Hey love, congrats on your progress so far, you are doing so well. Stress is a bitch, lol, and it makes this process even more difficult. I know you love your job, but it is so stressful. Make sure to take some me time as well. You deserve it! Big Hugs!
Wow!! What a difference!!! I watched this video, then one of your pre-op ones and you can definitely tell that you have lost quite a bit!! Very proud of you!! Keep up the good work!!! I can't wait for the day when I join you all.
Great loss girl!!! Woo hoo!! I always love saying goodbye to a decade of weight!!! Sorry work has been hard. May be time to change it up. When you have to go there everyday life can suck. Get rid of the stuff that sucks and life gets better!!! This process will have some ups and downs for sure!! Keep doing awesome!!! Love your pooch!!! Super cute! 😘💗😘💗
I see changes in your face! I don't want to overstep my bounds...but I've worked in your field for my whole adult life. While it can be fulfilling, it can also be so stressful. Don't feel bad if you need to step back and look for something less stressful. Sometimes one change deserves another. You deserve to be happy!
You're doing great! Keep up the good work! I just had my 1 month check up. I definitely agree family and friends just don't understand. This was a major life overhaul.
- What a small world!!! My Surgeron was Dr.Wyn. Same office as you.... 960 Lawrence West!!! Same hospital too. P.s.... Congratulations on your loss!! .... Shane West- Sexxxyyyyyy guy.
Wow! Keep up the good work!!! I just am starting my journey and am contemplating doing a youtube rny journey journal myself, but am shy and not feeling very confident about doing so. I am so happy when I watch these because they are all a wealth of information so I know what to expect myself when I go through these things, and excited because I can't wait to join the rest of you. Keep doing what you're doing to keep bringing the weight off.
hey girl, work and life struggles abound, haha, but so glad to see you overall doing well. Best of luck navigating the next few weeks, it can be tricky, but dont beat yourself up if you slip up. Its normal to want cake, hehe, Hell, i want cake right now, lol.
We are surrounded by celebrations, holidays, birthdays, you name it! I've given up thinking I'll have a month without that. Now I just allow myself to have a bite or so here and there and try to limit it a bit. But ultimately if you just get back on track the following days you're good!!! 😘💗😘💗
The important thing is that you are focused and progress is definitely being shown. Congrats to you and how awesome for your NSV in clothes! I can relate to stress at work filtering over into home, making it feel impossible to take a break or a lunch. I have had to really force myself into taking these times of the day to make myself a priority. Please take the time for you - you need it and even if it's just to step out of the day-mode for 10 minutes you should do that. Only you can make you a priority and you are worth it! I hope today is going better! Be good to you and stay positive. You've come so far!
so sorry you had a tough week at work. i can definitely relate to getting so busy and caught up with life that i would forget to drink water and eat. you've had great progress so far. i hope you get some rest and enjoy the weekend. for the dry patches i suggest looking for a face oil. ive felt my skin changed a lot since surgery and oils help me. being nervous about food is very normal. i had the same fears and would end up eating the same things for months
Thank you so much for doing the tag love, and it was great how you incorporated it. Negative self talk, ugh, definitely somewhere I need to improve as well. I am definitely my worst critic, but I suppose most of us are, hehe!
You are doing great with your weight loss!! I am totally there with you and the hair loss!!! THAT struggle is real!! I hope your week gets better and next week is very pleasant for your! Keep your head up sweetie!
Rough weeks and days are so hard. Good luck with next week. You are doing great. Just keep swimming!! Keep trying and remember you can do hard things. Struggles are real.
I'm sorry you're having a rough week, but it sounds like you're handling it well. You are meeting your goals as best you can for what is going on in your life. That's the best anyone can do. I really admire you for the work you do. It is so hard and so important.
Have you tried smooth move tea? I'm on day 10 and thus far I have loose stools and diarrhea. I've been swallowing pills since day 3. As long as it's no bigger than a Tylenol it's ok. Keep up the good work! I see a difference for sure!!
you are looking great! look at one of your videos before the surgery. you have lost so much in your face. It will continue to shirk with the rest of your body. You seem so much happier!
Time flies when having fun!! You are doing amazing!! Way to go hitting your goal!! I need to be better with my notes!! It can feel lonely 😭!! I am glad that you feel support!! ((Hug))
woot! grats on 250, its a big milestone for sure ... this is the weight limit that the world is engineered for! from chairs to turnstyles to whatever. The hunger thing is normal, it will pass so enjoy it while you can. I remember the first sign of needing ot eat was me almost falling over, hunger feeling was never there.
