Hi, I was lost, but I am found!
Hello all my weight loss buddies!
I have had a tremendous change in my life. I started a new job 2 months ago and received a huge pay raise and better insurance. I am now working from home and have been off schedule when it comes to my exercising. I keep saying when the weather is nice and what not, but I need to be pushed to get outside and exercise and to chose better foods for myself. I have found that I can eat "normally" again. Not before, but what is desinated as "Normal" portion sizes. I feel full with that. I need to reduce my intake and start exercising again. I got down to 144 but that was when I was really sick. I got to 150 and stayed for a while, then it slowly went to 153 then 155 and now I am struggling from 158-162 these last few weeks. I want to get back down to 150 and I will be fine with that. I have been struggling with hypoglicemia. I think that is spelled correctly. My mom gave me her diabetes machine and my sugar has been between 48 and 60's. I bought sugar tablets to assist instead of buying a candy bar to increase my sugar. I have an appointment to see the doctor and do a fasting test. I'm not sure what is going to happen. I also need to change my birthcontrol because I am not morbidly obese anymore and the depo shot will have a huge effect on my bone density and may promote osteopenia or osteoporosis. But any advice would be wonderful. I need to start posting in her like I did before. But after changing jobs, I have been adjusting to all the new tasks that come along with it. Thanks for any support and I am back on track again! Love to you all as we have all come down a rocky road and now things are smooth but we need to be aware that we can be knocked off this smooth trail and back up to that rocky road!
Laura, you can say that again. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers that you can find a happy medium with your hypoglycemia. It can be done healthily, you just have to figure out how to do it. You have come back to the right place. I think we are all learning that this is the hardest part of our journey yet. I think once we all get this part figured out we'll be okay. We're here for you though.

Laura - read Holly's post right above yours. I think a lot of Jan people are going through the same thing. Our appetite has come back and we can eat more and want more food. My weight has fluctuated too. When I got down to 120 I was happy, but was told I looked too thin. It's scary to think about regaining the weight. I am up now, but I'm hoping it's because of the TT and the swelling. It's so hard to lose the weight now. I haven't exercised in 6 weeks because of the surgery, and I think once I get back to doing that I'll feel better about myself. I feel fat again. I guess we know what we need to do though. Exercise, drink lots of water and more protein, less carbs.
Hang in there!
