The Loser's Bench
Sharing Struggles and Success 3/3
My sucesses lately have been that I have lost 58 pounds, I continue to journal every day and I am looking for creative and interesting recipes to stay interested. I am off of my medications and I try to exercise a little every day even if it is walking around my neighborhood. I am successful most weeks.
My struggles fortunately up to this time have been few. I only recently started getting hungry. Some of it is head hunger and some of it is real hunger. I try hard to recognize the difference but I 'm not sure yet that I do. And at 56 years old I am struggling with the skin. I know that this is irrelavent in the whole scheme of things but it is tough. It was bad before being postmenopausal and now I am just so surprised by how much there is so soon. That is just a head thing I will have to deal with. It's part of learning.

Hello everyone!
My success has been the 35 lb wt loss I have accomplished in the last 5 weeks. My surgery was on Jan 30.
My struggles have been trying to fit in all my meals, water and protein on the days that I work. I am a nurse in L&D and I work night shift. I sleep during the day on the days I work then am awake during the days on the days I have off. It's been hard juggling the meal times and the water.
