Feeling Sorry for Myself???

By sandradee0124

I think yesterday was kind of depression -- feeling sorry for myself. Why? I'm losing weight, I'm eating well and not feeling deprived. I have no conscious reason for feeling down, but I did. I actually went to bed at 7pm last night.

 

But today is another day! I got up, drove up here, and worked out for a good hour between weight lifting and the elliptical so I feel pretty good. My fitness buddy called in sick today from work (we work together) so I'm sure she took advantage of my day off to get her own lol. I am drinking a lot of fluids (still can't tolerate anything else after Monday's fill) and I have more energy.

 

I feel very lucky to have had the procedure, and have support from the surgeon and staff in getting good fills and good information. I'm lucky to have friends and lap band buddies to provide additional support.

 

I need to just move myself out of the funk. No good reason for it. Its sunny, and warm and I weigh 50 lbs less than I did at Christmas.

 

Have a great day everybody! Hugs!

 

Sandy

    I know how you feel. I have no reason for being depressed right now either. I am trying to pull myself out of it as well. You are doing such a great job! Keep up the great work. As my mom always tells me " keep your chin up and this to will pass." Its just hard I guess when your going though it.

    From my appointment with the pre op psych visit, they talked about this . . . pretty normal I think. Glad you are doing what you're doing - keeping the fluids going, working out. Your body is changing and your head just has to catch up, ya think?

    OMG you are doing so well I am so proud of you. I did this journey mostly all by myself and this web site was my only support system. I told no one! My husband is skinny and my two adult children were away at school. My sister was NO help. I was on my own. It is VERY hard doing this. I am so happy you have shared and have done so well keep posting. I am still alone after a loss of 110 in a year and a month I thank you know who for this site every day. Best wishes imaluckydog
