weekly weigh in

Sorry about not checking in last week--I'm such a computer nit-wit, couldn't remember how to post!! Last week I was 234#, no loss but no gain.  This week I lost 4# so I'm back down to 230#. Have my lab orders but have not yet had them done.  I here Shian's progress through the system, where is everyone else during thhis process?

Sadly, I'm creeping back up on the scale, gained 4lbs this week. Not happy at all. But it seems like I'm hitting a period where Im eating anything and everything I can. I'm never satisfied with what I've eaten, nor do I feel full. I'm not sure where this is all coming from, but I know it needs to stop.

I recognized that I was doing it, and tried to speak to myself, I said, "Self, you need to stop this uncontrollable eating pattern. You are not hungry, you are eating to fill something, but that something does not require food!".

I've decided to really take the next 3 months of break from school (sadly, no break from work), to concentrate on me. I purchased a swimsuit and am going to start up some water aerobics at the Y, and change up my workout routine a little. So we'll see how that goes.

I was 284 on Thursday morning-292 in the PM.  I am scheduled to see Dr. Rumsey on 6/1 as wee as 2 other doctor's.  It says on the letter for those appointments that it will take 21 working days to determine the status of the case and if you haven't heard by then, call for an update.  for me that  would mean I'd know something by the end of June.  I hope it is the same for everyone, but as soon as I got my lab request, I did it right away.  As soon as I got my letter saying the packet was sent to PB, I called.  I miss everyone and hope to see you all soon.
