Let’s talk about self care. A while back I wrote a book, in it I mentioned the oxygen mask analogy: if you ever traveled on a plane and was bored enough to pay attention to the safety presentation you’ll remember the flight attendant mentioning: In the event the shit hits the fan and oxygen masks deploy YOU MUST make sure your mask is secured before you help others. Even your loved ones next to you!! WHY? Because you can’t help them if you’re knocked out. (I’m paraphrasing the in-flight lesson; however I think you’ll agree my way would get more attention.) on the ground we rarely take the time to make sure we are breathing first. We put others first and we very rarely make / take sacrifices for our own wellness. That’s NOT healthy. There’s no moral justification to this either because again.... you can’t help someone when you’re knocked out. Let’s explore this, talk about self-care and show others ITS OK to care of yourself!!! ————————————————- Self-care includes anything that you love to do. What makes you feel recharged, well-rested, and happy? Everyone can and will have a different definition and that’s awesome!!! What are some different things that you can do for self-care? Do you take the time? Why? Why not? How? Comment below and let’s have a REAL healthy convo. Help ourselves while helping others. -Keith @6months100pounds P.s.

@wlshirts CONTEST!! ONE comment will win a shirt from @wlshirts !! Sometimes we need reminders why we do what we do. It’s so easy to get stuck in the day to day that we lose track of the big picture. Lately I’ve been trying to remind myself WHY I put so much work into this community. Then it hit me we haven’t done this post in a long time. So maybe I need this. Running this community takes A LOT of time, effort and energy and it’s very easy to get overwhelmed. None of us are perfect and I think it’s important to recognize odds are if we got big in the first place we were probably fighting other battles too. When life is going great it’s super easy to see the tree and the forest around it. When life gets hard sometimes we need to push ourselves to see the forest past the tree standing in front of us. No matter if you’re starting your journey or lost 170lbs like me. ASK WHY. I always start out with WHY. Why do you want to be healthy? Why do you want this lifestyle? Why do you want this new body? And does what it takes to achieve this goal WORTH your why? Your mind is an investment banker. It will only do what is determines to be worthy of doing. MY WHY 👉 this community helps keep me accountable. It helps me see things in myself I never thought possible. It’s how I never went back to 170lbs!! Sooo.... what’s your why? Comment below. There will be no judgements, only love and support! ________________ Good news!! That fact you showed up means your already on your way. Be proud of who you are!! And for the love of freaking God tell someone they are awesome tonight!! -Keith @6months100pounds ________________ SIDE NOTE: I tagged people who are worthy of a follow. Good people, care about the community. ________________________________ 👉 Wlstories is a SUPPORT GROUP. Please help others SEE THIS POST by mentioning Wlstories in your ig stories feed.

@wlstories Meet n Greet!! Introduce yourself to the community!! Post your name, a lil about yourself, your journey, and why you're a part of this community!! I'm Keith. People ask me why I run this page; After all it's a non profit, no ads and I've lost hundreds of hours and even some money running this page. This page helps keep me accountable on my own journey (@6months100pounds) I've lost over 170lbs! Weight loss is a lifestyle over a lifetime. Its not a short fix. It's so easy to wake up a year later with all the weight gained back. I will be on this journey forever and the amazing people I get to meet on @wlstories and the friends I've made keep me invested in the community. I can't give up on myself because that would mean giving up on all of you and I believe in all of you way too much! That's my why. ...I thought it might be a fun way for people get to know the others in this community, maybe even build friendships. This is also a great opportunity for you to get more involved!! Mingle with each other! Let them know if you have similar stories!! The more involved and time invested in the community the more you'll stay accountable to yourself. WLSTORIES UPDATE: If you noticed I haven’t posted in a week. Everything is ok! I’ve been spending a lot of time focusing on ways to rebuild our community so it’s easier for me to manage. This is by far almost impossible to do alone. If you are interested in being more involved now would be a great time to do so!! Thanks again for making @wlstories the phenomenon it is today!! With love, -Keith (@6months100pounds) #wlstories ______________________ Ps: You can introduce yourself even further including photos and full bios in our Facebook support group: WLTOGETHER It's a great free support and accountability group!! _______________ 🎁 GET A 2019 wlstories Christmas Card!!!!

ROLL CALL!! Message from the editor; Keith aka @6months100pounds The Internet can sometimes make us forget THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF THIS COMMUNITY: We are all REAL humans behind these accounts. People with real feelings, real emotions, real struggles. That’s one of the reasons why I love doing the meetup. We break down that digital barrier and realize face to face: WE ARE NOT ALONE.... not even in your own neighborhood! A few months ago we featured someone who lived a block away from me!! I never knew them before they sent in their story! So I post this tonight in hopes people realize: WE ARE NOT ALONE!! Digitally or physically. Post your town, city, state etc and read comments to say hello to people in your area!! Tag me @6months100pounds if you're from Florida especially Tampa / Orlando area and I’ll send ya the Florida meetup info! Let's see how far our community stretches!! Comment Thanks! -Keith #wlstories . ________________ SUBSCRIBE to our new YouTube Channel; wlstoriestv .com Motivation: @wlinspired Recipes : @wlrecipes ________________ #vsgcommunitysupport #supportgroup #yourbestself #fitnessgroup #tampafitness #tampaflorida #orlandofitness #weightwatchersfreestyle #strongsmartcapableworthy #fedupfam #fat2fit #bestronger #wlsmeetup #owlmu #ketotampa #runtampa #rundisney (at South Tampa, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3qV3vqDTLt/?igshid=59irnoeg0ujl

Each morning I’m finding that “adjusting” is getting easier and easier. I find that using these small cups #swiperight help me feel like I’m doing a lot 😂😂 drinking out of a 2oz cup is way less intimidating than drinking from an 8oz cup, even if you’re only having 2oz at a time. If you’re in the pre-op phase, here’s a tip, get yourself some baby cups! If you’re post-op and finding it hard to get all your fluids in, get some baby cups!! #babycups #vsgcommunity #vsg #vsgcommunitysupport #mysleevedlife #sleevedlife #verticalsleevegastrectomy https://www.instagram.com/p/BnTu1fhFM0c/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gpxill4cj21h
