Down Day...make that weeks

Just as I think I figured out how to do the forum, they change it.  That is not my real thing. to complain about though.   I am having a continuation of bad weeks mentally and slipping into to some old habits.  I am afraid that I am going to backslide and things will not work.  Some of you know that I have had blood pressure lows with passing out, and I was told not to exercise.  Last week I restarted the exercise and it was like starting over, I could only do 10 minutes on the bike.  I have only lost 1 lb in two weeks, and since I am getting toward my 6 month checkup and should be at a 60% excesse weight loss and not even close, I am worried my weight loss is going to stop which is feeding into my fears and making my stress even harder.  Not to mention on June 6th I will be taking the test that my new job and all are riding on.   Yesterday, my BP was low again and had some dizzy spells so today I have no motivation and energy.  I know it has to come within, but I am having trouble finding that strength in the last little bit.  Not even sure what I am asking you guys to do, but to listen.

Sorry things are going so rough for you right now.  That stinks about your blood pressure still being low.  Have you increased your sodium?  That might help and get your pressure up a bit and make you feel better.  I hope everything gets better for you!!! Melissa

I have been adding sodium to diet, thanks for the tip.

Im sorry you are feeling so bad!  call your Dr, maybe he/she can help. I went online real fast to just read about it.... its more complicated than I would have thought... But I hate that you feel so yucky!  I'll pray for you!!!!

I understand what you are going through.  My weight loss has slowed down dramatically and yes I am slipping back into eating stuff that I shouldn't.  I am depressed all the time about it and my scale keeps bouncing back and forth between 153-155.  If you would have told me a year a go that I would be 155lbs I would have been so excited.  Now, I'm bummed because I am tired of seeing 155.  I want to see the 140's, 130's. 120's.  I am starting to think this is all that I am gonna lose and I should be happy but I can't still help but feel I'm a failure because I felt like I should have been goal by now.  I'm 7 months out.   Every warned me that after 6 months things get harder.  I can't eat more and the weight loss is stalling!!  I'm crying with you sister!!!  Love  Rachel
