My recent Head Games video took me a bit by surprise.
What I started out wanting to talk about was a sort of “the good, the bad, the ugly” sort of thing where I talked about some of the good things I’ve experienced recently due to WLS, some of the bad things I’m struggling with, and the ugly truth about excess skin.
I took a couple runs at it because I kept rambling on and going too long, I wanted to keep this under that magic 10-minute mark and kept blowing it.
So yea, things kind of wandered, but that’s fine. The whole body image thing has been in the back of my mind for awhile and something I’ve wanted to tackle but just haven’t gotten around to it. Plus, there are so many aspects to a topic like this it can be hard to know where to begin.
Warning, here be ramblings.
I’ve been on another cooking binge (as you can see from a few of my recent posts), and in talking bout it on Twitter more than few people have been commenting to me on how they don’t cook, and someone asked me “How do you find your balance between eating to live and living to eat?”
This reminded me of an article on Zenhabits that has been sitting in my “topics” pile for awhile… and I thought it was time to hit this one up. Cause whether yer pre-op or post-op, married or single, there’s a pretty good chance the most intimate relationship you have is your relationship with food.
Toxic waste isn’t good for ya. Plain and simple right? When it comes to WLS success, there are things we need to avoid like they are a barrel of toxic waste or there will be “adverse health effects”, just like the sign here says.
The first one I want to touch on here is selflessness. If you want to have long term WLS success, you’re going to need to learn to be selfish, or in other words you need to learn to put you and your needs ahead of those of others.
