I have been MIA and bouncing around which I hate.
I was 162 two weeks ago which is the low end of my normal because I was sick... today 171. Such wide swings aren't good.
I was away for a long weekend and usually when I get back on track in a couple of days I will have s big drop....so far Ive been going down like ½ lb a day...I had been up to 173.
reality is I am eating my emotions.... not with cake and cookies but with low carb substitutes- protein pancake, low. Are mug cake etc...
I need to get into "the queen of the world' lane.
Skyped last night with my grandkids in India. My grandson is so excited and wanted to know when I was coming to visit. Broke my heart , not that easy....
trying to change lanes

You were obviously in the 'queen of the world ' lane because you got the job.

Out brains totally kill us...it's like a roller coaster sometimes...
im with you, while I don't hide any of my surgeries I don't feel the need to announce it.
BTW I am very proud of myself... plugging away at my 5K app... trying to dodge the cold weather and get it in. I actually let a acquaintance I know who is a running machine and always tiny...know about it... she was very sweet and supportive. She thought Jeff Galloway was a great app and offered to go out on a run/walk with me. Because she runs and exercises so much even though she is tiny she eats like 3500 calories a day. Ugh. That blows my mind a little.

I hope they have someone on staff or can refer you to someone quickly. Either way, good for you for reaching out and I hope you find some help soon. Good luck!

No I've not got any leads for a counselor. I think im going to call my bariatric clinic to see what they will do.
Hello everyone!
Month 4 = Complete. Loss for the month 18.8 lbs, my biggest to date. Crazy but I'll gladly take it.
I've been thinking a lot about being the new girl at work too and how I will handle the inevitable questions that will arise. I agree with Gwen that I will discuss when appropriate but it's still been on my mind a lot. I'm an over-thinker and with a lot of changes and new experiences happening at the same time my brain has been quite active.
My activity level remains lower than it was but again I'm ok with that because I really need to split my time and focus on all aspects of my life not just the one. I'm still way ahead of were I was even 3 months ago with the exercise so I think I've found a better balance.
Food wise everything is going fairly well. I will admit that my emotions have been a challenge and my head has tried interfering with my progress but so far I'm winning the battles. The past few days were rough and I was glad to have my monthly weigh in on my mind to help my focus but this morning I realized there had been a hormone factor in play as well so... ugh but good.
HW- 386
LW- 249
TW- 244.2
Next goal is getting into the 230's followed by 236 for 150 lbs lost.
Hope everyone has a good week!

Sorry to hear that you're still struggling. Have you had any more progress with the referral to a counselor?

Totally with you on the ups and downs. One day I own the world and the next it's a struggle to find a single positive. It's an ongoing battle between what I've accomplished and how far I still have to go.
