Feeling Blah!!

Not sure what is going on right now.  I feel like i have had a whirlwind year.  The surgery, great supportive friends and family, I got married and soon moving!!

But somehow i feel blah.. Like this is only short lived i will be 317 all over again. Even though im in the 170's now. I am feeling so weird lately. Sometimes tired, sometimes super energized.

Im not sure if this is normal but i  could use some advice.

TIA

I think you said it all in your first paragraph - you've had a whirlwind year and haven't had a chance to catch your breath - surgery, marriage, job changes, moving, kids - who wouldn't be exhausted! And now that all that 'exciting' stuff is over and life is returning to normal maybe you're feeling a little let-down - sort of like a kid after Christmas - all the build up then its here and gone in one day. You're just settling back into a normal life now - give yourself a chance to relax and enjoy it.

You won't ever be 317 again - you've done so well and I know physically you have to be feeling better.

It could be physical if your vitamin levels aren't where they should be - when was the last time you had bloodwork? and are you still getting all your proteins in or close to it? With everything else going on plus feeling better now are you still tracking your food to see if you're meeting goals? That could be it.

Or again, maybe you just need to sit back and catch your breath!

I feel like this often.

Hey Tanya I know exactly what you are talking I was going through the same thing for the past two weeks. The past two days have been great 110lbs down and I was looking at the old 328lb person everytime I looked in the mirro. It is crazy!  I wasn't able to go to the gym for the past two weeks and when I went back on Tues. things got better. I dont know why but I feel much better about myself.  I am so afraid this journey will stop and I will be right back where I started.  I hope you feel better soon!

Tanya - it is because you are anxiously waiting coming to my cooking class! lol

I agree with the other ladies- it is just coming down off of the "high" of all that has gone on lately! It is becoming "normal" to be thinner, healthier and loving life - almost maybe mundane! I was just going through this myself so I TOTALLY know where you are coming from!

Maybe it is time to do something JUST for you! A Massage -a  weekend away with the girls etc - something without the kids - maybe Hubby can come along lol

*hugs* It will get better

PS - can't hurt to have vitamin levels checked either - I get like that when B12 is low!

Thanks everyone. I think we may have figured out what my problem is. Hopefully its a fluke.

your not pregnant too are you!?

I will find out for sure May 11th. I go to the Dr's. Im ready but Id like to wait a good 6 more months before I get another surprise in my life!!!

OMG. Are you serious? How can you wait until May 11th. I am a very impatient person...can you tell? Where are you moving too? I wish I was moving. things aren't going so well...if you know what I mean. We'll have to talk after I get back from Disney. I'm thinking i'll go to Liz's party with you. I really want to go and I could use someone to talk to. Now, go pee on a stick.
