Hi Everyone
Hello Everyone,
Sorry I haven't been posting for awhile. Things have been crazy at work, and they are getting strict about the internet. I still check everyone's post every day but I can't sign in or post from work any longer. 
I try to get on sometimes at night or on the week-end, but DD is in ROTC and chorus at the high school so there's a couple of evenings we have to go pick her up after we get off work.
She's also picked up a boyfriend, so they spend time on the internet chatting. OMG! Can that child (the boyfriend) eat. I told hubby, thank God we had girls, I couldn't afford to feed teen-age boys...LOL!
Well there's also quite a bit going on with me as well. I keep eating right, and exercising (in moderation, very moderately I might add), and have no energy whatsoever. I've been in such a funk here lately, it has been hard to make myself go to work. When I started re-gaining weight I made a doctor's appt. I still keep a journal of everything I eat and took it to my doc's appt. When she read over it, she said there should be no reason that I'm gaining. Of course that means test, right? Anyway, I got a phone call last night that my tests indicate insulin resistance and possible hyperthyroidism.
I've got an appointment to go back in Thursday afternoon, but I'm really not looking forward to it. I don't know what else I could cut out. I worked food service in a nursing home many years ago where I had to prepare diabetic meals, and my mother has diabetes so I kinda know how to prepare foods for diabetics. I've been basically living on a 1500 calorie diabetic diet, with a few detours (~5-8 times) for eating out with family, July 4th, my birthday, and of course family reunion. Even then, although I ate things I don't normally eat, I maintained control and ate just one or two bites of those things. I didn't overeat. I ate until I wasn't hungry and then put my fork down.
I suppose I shouldn't worry so much until I go to the appt. Thursday, but these are the reasons that I began this journey in Jan., I didn't want to face the issues that my mother is dealing with now.
Keep me in your prayers, and remember even when I'm not posting, I'm still around here lurking....LOL, I'm addicted.
Miss ya'll

Miss ya'll 10/4/07 surgery 265, 11/7/07 1st fill 252, 12/27/07 2nd fill 243, 1/16/08 234, 2/27/08 3rd fill 230, 5/18/08 209, 6/12/08 home scale 200!!!!!!!!!!! 10/22/08 1 yr......184, 11/4/08.....170, Pouch dilation in April 10, complete unfill. Starting over! 7/29/10-175 
I had read over them, but had just kinda skimmed the medical definitions, so I went back and read them again. Kinda makes me wonder if she said hypothyroidism instead of hyper, I kinda lost track when I heard insulin resistant.....I have had those symptoms for years, but had all blood work done last August which showed nothing.
I really freaked out when I started putting my weight back on. But two years ago, I would have said, oh well I tried and just went back to my old habits.....at least I didn't do that this time.
I had been bouncing 3 lbs. back and forth for a while now, but when I got on the scale the other morning and it said 6 lb gain, I was like "HELL NO". I contributed the 3 lbs. to decrease in exercise due to the heat and no energy, but I have never sustained a diet the way I have kept to my eating plan this time so I knew something had to be wrong!
