Been a while since I blogged....

 

This is just venting of where I am at these days...

First, since dropping a total of 61 pounds in 2.5 months the scale is frustrating the hell outta me...I am fighting the same damn 3 pounds for a week and a half now...I am so upset about this. It seems that all the work I have done is just now starting to not work. I am getting a bit depressed. The depression is leading to less exercising....and loss of motivation. I am trying really hard to keep my eating in check and so far I have but I'm losing interest in exercise. I wish I had a work out buddy or someone to talk too....

 

Usually I am a very positive person and one who people ask me questions and look at me as being successful so far....I don't feel it anymore. Part of the lack of exercise has come from having major dental work done the last few weeks...I am trying to get a healthier mouth and a pretty smile that years of soda ruined. So, i have dental work done, I'm in pain for 4-5 days and on pain meds, I don't exercise as much and I'm fighting 3 pounds over and over. I dont know if I need a fill or not. I'm not scheduled for my second fill til July 25th. I am feeling pretty lonely and I have no one to talk with...I don't want to call my surgeon office and tell them that I'm losing my motivation because they look at me as a success so far...I guess I don't want to let them down....

 

I also just got done with my menstrual cycle and I do have PMDD so maybe theres a bit of that going on as well...I'm just not feeling the groove anymore...I don't feel the excitement of having the band anymore....I don't view it as a problem, I'm just not as excited as I was...

I had major dental work on Thursday, and today I tried to not take any main meds...I made it til 6pm this evening and I took some...I also had a migraine today...my first in months. What is wrong with me...I wish I had an in person friend to talk to....I really am so lonely....

    Meg, hang in there. You are doing so well, but with everything that is going on right now in your life, I can surely understand the frustration. 61 lbs in 2.5 months? You are my hero! You can't let yourself down now. You probably had to fight really hard to get the band, just hold on and remember what you went though to get to this place in your life. We have all dieted and know there are plateaus that we have to jump over. Get yourself motivated again - get to the gym and make it count. You are doing great - if you don't feel you are getting anywhere with the 3 lbs, talk to your doctor - that is what he is there for. Or, call your nutritionist. I wish you the best of luck and you can feel free to email me anytime - bklynike@aol.com. Eileen

    Hi Meg,

    I am 10 months post, lost 84 lbs total! Felt the same things you have, I think we all have if we just admit it! Thanks for being so honest about your feelings, that is the first step you have taken toward the healing YOU needed. We are here, if not in person, then this is good therapy for us all anyway! Hang on each day is a learning day with the Band, we are forever Bandsters. Get a tablet and Make yourself write down lst, your mood, 2nd the food intake, 3rd the exercise you had, 4th the fluid intake and water. You will be amazed at what you consume, I rolled 3-4 lbs around for a month and a half thinking that was ALL I was going to do! Then I did the 4 steps above and dropped 6 lbs. then kept it off for a month and dropped another 1.3 lbs yesterday. It will happen don't get discouraged!
