just checking in with all!!

I am Lisa, I am here quite a bit, just never hardly post anymore. I have gained like 10 pounds over the last month, can't seem to get back in the right place. I have been having back problems, and now my shoulder and arm is about to take me out, I am on 4 different meds for it. steroids being one of them I think that is why I have gained and can't lose it. I am always hungry now for some reason. As soon as I get over this, I am going to try and start walking again, right now I can't do nothing with my arm.
   Taking online classes and needs to finish a research paper, but being on cetain drugs, I don't wanna good it up , and takes me forever to type one handed, yeah my good arm is the one I can't use now.
  just wanted everyone to know it is just a busy time of year for most, I think this winter everyone will be back on here typing and complaining, like me, hahahaha.

Good luck Lisa.  That 10 lbs can eat at you and you are right medication plays a big part in it.  You will work through it.  Winter is a time when I struggle but this year I am going to try to keep myself busy when sitting and watching TV.  It is so hard.  I wish I could say that after 4 years it's no longer a problem but it is.  Honeymoon stage is wonderful it that lasted about 18 months for me but then when our appetite comes back, we get busy, stressful situations occur and before I knew it,  I was finding myself just doing mindless eating.  I wish I hadn't gained any weight back but I have.  It upsets me but I am not a failure.  I only need to lose 15-20 lbs.  That is a lot better than 160.

So you hang in there, good luck with your classes and I sure hope you shoulder and arm get better
