It's something a struggle with. Part of the reason I began taking anxiety medication is because I would wake up at least once every night ruminating on work: what a certain letter had said, whether is was being aggressive enough, best strategies, etc. I care about my clients which makes it difficult to shut that part of my life down when I leave the office but I'm going to work on techniques for that. I need to be a bit selfish so that I can be as successful as possible in achieving physical health.
I'm scheduled for my consultation next week and this Playlist has really been helpful in the mental preparation process. It can be done and life goes on! Thank you for this! 💜
I want to thank you for your videos that you have posted. They have helped me to much to not feel alone and to reassure myself that the things that i am feeling and thinking are normal. Watching you is like watching myself. Im 3 weeks into my gastric bypass surgery and everything that you mentioned is almost exactly were i am.
Congrats on your continued success! So glad to hear from you! I have been trying to get outside with my Granddaughter more and go to the park across the street. She is 20 months now. The exercise is great and it gives her some more exposure to other kids. Trying to plan some activities for the winter. Fingers crossed, our temps here in Michigan, will be more moderate this winter. I really enjoy outside time with the toddler. She is learning so much about her world. Watching her explore, is a testament that life is so much more, than the stressful aspects, of adulting. So glad that you and your daughter are bonding over healthy activities ❤.
I love getting to see the world through a toddler's eyes. My daughter saw things I never would have noticed (she called swans "twos" because of their shape). Bennett is fascinated by everything. He never asks "why" but is constantly saying "what's that?". Do you have any indoor playgrounds near you? My kids love them and there's usually a designated toddler area so they don't get trampled by the big kids.
@@KaraChapman Unfortunately, living in a rural area, we do not have access to toddler safe, venues. We have made a few phone calls about age appropriate activities or playgroups and have found nothing. Our local daycares are full to capacity with 6-8 month waitlists. Thanks so much for the suggestion! 🌞
🚨WARNING🚨 DO NOT WATCH ANY OF HER VIDEOS A WEEK OR TWO AFTER ANY TYPE OF SERGURY...😂😂😂😂 SHR IS HILARIOUS. A DRY COMEDIAN(NATURALLY FUNNY) PLEASE HEAL FIRST! 😂😂😂😂
I find that having something between work and “being at home” helps me separate them. Maybe even just walking the dog being the first thing you do may help you have a ritual to “shake off” work and really be there.
Hi Kara , happy that you’re doing so well. I can understand your worries about going back to work and all the stress and hoping that you won’t put on back the weight. It’s normal to worry about all that but my advice would be to just take it one day at a time. Well 2 days because you’ll need to prepare your meals and take to work 😆. You have a strong support system so don’t fear just keep going one day at a time. Blessings to you my dear !! You’ll do just great!!!
Thank you so much for your videos. I am at 10 days out. You have helped me tremendously. I will continue to watch these. You are answering a lot of my questions. Love your eye make. Rhonda Forsen
Glad to see ur doing well for the most part. Going back to work after some time off is so hard. After today I’m off work for 8 lovely days & it’s gonna suck ass when I have to go back. I know I’m gonna go back to a mess. Anyway....ur eye look is beautiful. I want that ND palette so bad. I’ve never tried her shadows. I have the Blush Bloom & Glow palette & another 6 pan cheek/highlighter palette. I really like both. I’m just so scared to invest that much $$ into an eyeshadow palette & be disappointed. I know she has minis but those get mixed reviews at best. Have a fabulous day 🤗❤️
I suspect I'll have no less than 500 emails to wade through on Monday. I need to get caught up on what's happened in the past 5 weeks on about 60 different files and I have 9 court matters to prepare for for next month. Ugh. One step at a time, right? Her best mini is the Gold one. It performs the same as her larger palettes in my opinion.
You can go to thrift shops to buy clothes size appropriate. If you wear your regular clothes-you won’t feel thinner on the inside even if the clothes are loose. Donate your too loose clothes.
I've just started a donation box for my clothes. Thrift shops don't always carry the sizes I need but that will become less and less of a problem as I continue to lose. I'm looking forward to my first Value Village excursion (probably in another 30 pounds or so).
Yay so good you actually start to eat softer foods now and that you feel more energized! You're looking really good :D lol Aww no that would be hard being paid monthly and then having a month off!
Thanks Cher! The pay is a bit tricky but I've learned to budget so that the end of the month isn't a disaster. Next month will be tight but thankfully, we have some savings.
Question for Q&A: what is a dish that you are looking for a replacement? I really like making zoodles (zucchini noodles) -- you don't need a fancy zoodler, just a veggie peeler 💙
Am having the same problems am 3 weeks in today some days am hungry some days am not I can take in a little more food now am doing purée food I enjoy it
It's funny that I watched this episode today because I am 19 days out and have weighed the same for 3 days. Thanks for your assurance that it's a normal thing. I've been watching all your episodes out of order. Lol
I try to stay off the scales. They lie lol, but seriously I judge my success by how my clothes fit. I was so disheartened by not losing but then my hubby said "you're strength training will cause muscle to strengthen so you may be trading fat loss and heavier muscles" DOH never thought about that
The scale has way too much power over me and I know that I need to take it out of the bathroom so I'm not so tempted to check it. I don't know why I haven't made myself do it yet. 😞 I take pictures weekly and can see the physical changes, even this week when the numbers didn't change much I can still see a slight difference in my profile.
Didn’t you take classes prior to surgery Kara? If you did your notes will tell you where you’ll have slower weight lose and how what to do at those times😊 Not being a smart ass, just don’t want you to add stress when it’s not necessary. You are beautiful at any size. 💜
The book I received mention stalls but doesn't address when they typically occur. It speaks about them in a much more general way. Not super helpful, unfortunately.
I lived on Turkey sausage omelet in the beginning. And oh my gosh!! I did the same thing with my weightloss I wondered what the hell I was doing wrong as well!!
@@KaraChapman I would give you recommendations but alas I am an American so I am not very much help on the subject of Canadian grocery stores. I wish I was Canadian but I am not.
