The shame of regain

Thanks for your supportive words, everyone.

I started back into doing protein shakes... just for a few days.  I dropped a couple of pounds.  But, when I told my doctor my plans she told me to stop.  I have to focus on getting cancer-free first.    :(  She is right, of course.  

So I am going to just try to eat healthy and go back into hard-core mode once she gives me the green light. 

You are very much a success keeping off so much weight with all you've gone through. No shame ever.  When you are fighting cancer it takes a lot of energy. It's hard on your body. To add weight loss and the processing of that on your body would add additional stress to your body. I'm glad you talked with your doctor. 

There will always be a chance to lose that weight. 

Good luck to you.
