Sighs

Hello All, ~hugs~ Ok sorry about the below but I just needed to vent....... Ok yesterday was yet another not so good day! Grrrr...... I had a crazy eating day and well since I am back to eating some carbs I have gained back the weight that I lost on the no carb plan. I should have known that once you cut something out to lose weight you have to be able to do that for life (healthy eating) because as soon as you add some of those things back in you will gain it back. Makes sense to me and I should have known that the diet would not work. I cannot live no carb! I can watch and keep them low but that is about it SOOO now I have to sit back and rethink my weight loss goal and see what my body will allow. I am very upset about all of this and I did not even make it to my surgeon's goal not that is no one else's fault but myself! My phyc said she really did not like the fact that I was doing this no carb diet because that is just not healthy for you and we are trying to work on eating healthy in general and the weight loss would be a side effect from that, which I agree with so with that said I am just going to try and eat healthy (low carb as best as I can) and see what happens. That is all I can do at this point other then my main goal now is the add exercise into my daily life, that will make a difference I am sure!!! I just have a hard time getting that in every day and I do not even have kids. I feel that I am so busy with my career, new home, hubby and my doggies. If I was able to be at home all day I am sure that would help me so much, being able to spend 1-2 hrs a day on working out in some ways but I don't have that luxury so I will have to try to get this done other ways! I am not saying that staying home would solve my problem or make me be good to myself!!!! it still has to come from me! If my body is happy being overweight then so be it. I can not change some things but the one thing I can is the exercise and that will be my main goal from now on, the weight loss will be a bonus if it happens. I know what I have to do and I am sure I will get it done at some point but right now I am upset and frustrated with myself! I know I am not having to be perfect but wow after your honeymoon period (1 year about) is over the major reality sets in.... Well thanks for listening if you are still reading this. J Take care and have a great day! Debra P

good morning. i read your post and i agree with the carb thing. It is sooooooooo hard. I lost 2 pounds as of today, but the scale didnt move for almost 2 weeks, and thats frustrating. Im sorry we have this addiction i wi**** was simple!!!well im here for you and love you and i will try and fight this carb monster with u and everybody else. AHHHHHHHHHHHH.......is a vacation to florida in the works for you.. my treat think about it... i love u and have a great day... always roni

Roni, Hun I will really think about that I have to say, after we get the kitchen done I want to get away for a couple of days! I am not sure how or where but I want to go someplace that will not cost us to much. Hun thanks for always being there and you have been with me since high school... Still laughing thinking about the 4am trip to 7-11 in our oversized tee shirts, the cop and the CB! Love ya Debra P

come to florida you dont need a hotel,food,or car. I have a hot tub and a pool and a lake kellie can fish in and a paddle boat. please please please give it some thought. that would be awesome. im trying to sell you here also 3 boys that you will fall in love with but they will drive u crazy... check and see how much tickets r to west palm beach. lets just see ok...i do have alot of fun memories of us. we have been friends a LONG time. its nice to be remembered... lol roni

((((((((((((((((CAREING HUGSSSSSSSS)))))))))))))))))))))))) WOW, sorry to hear the outcome of the no carb eating plan. THAT was what i was hearing that people do that eating plan but when they go back to eating again it comes right back and there stuck. ITS a tought part of the journey we are at. AND i am just thinking this is the weight my body likes. AND if i ever think of doing plastics maybe i can rid another 10 thru that. HANG in there and you do look fabulous! AND the sizes your wearing are like me there not really awful!!!!! AND others do think of us as small!!! (yet i dont feel small) sorry ur a little down! smile hugzzzzzzzzz lisa

Lisa, Thanks for the kind words hun. ~hugs~ Yes this the part that we have to rethink and re-adjust our goals I guess. It kills me that I can not stick to working out! I know that would help me reach my surgeon's goal! That will be my major focus now. It is like any diet right, once you go back to living it comes right back on. We can only change what we eat in hopes of better health and the weight loss is a great side effect. I am learning that now and that is whay my phyc was saying so I am also going to try to stop weighing myself every day! Just once a week. Thanks again hun for your support Debra P

Heya, Debra. Stop beating yourself up. Remember how far you've come. Look back to where you were, say 2 years ago, and how much better you're doing and feeling today! Weight loss is a bit-h no matter how you do it, isn't it? Relax, girlfriend, and celebrate where you are! Traci

Traci, Yes that is so true hun and thanks for your kinds words. Yes I am learning to respect what I have done for myself already and move forward.... Thanks Debra P

Hi Missy Miss, Dont get frustrated with yourself, you are doing great!! Doing the low carb thing is really hard. I remember when I was doing the atkins diet I would lose some weight super fast but the minute I ate like a piece of corn I would blow up like a balloon. (Nevermind the fact I could never go number two). I remember doing like almost no carb for a few days then couldn't take it anymore and the 'carb monster' took over me and I would get so discouraged at myself. Blahhh!! You know, I secretly was happy when I heard dr. atkins fell, banged his head on the sidewalk and died b/c that was around the time I was struggling doing that diet. I thought "ha ha, take that stupid dr atkins!" I know that was terrible thing to think and I will certainly go to hell b/c of it! Heck I needed to blame someone for my misery then! You are super healthy now and that is what is important. You look great as well...love the hair! Keep up the good work and dont beat yourself up over this, ok? Love ya.

Tavia, Yes those damn carbs I will win out in the end I am sure but it can get so frustrating from time to time. Thanks hun Debra P
