Discouraged and Disappointed

So it has been a long time since I have updated and it is because I strayed. Things on my end have gone haywire!!! Last time I went to the doctor (last month) I was at 237lbs. I have stayed there ever since and I don't know why. I am eating the way I am suppose to and doing thing right yet I haven't had a loss yet. I thought I would be in Onederland by now. On labor day weekend, my husband, son and I were in a serious car accident and I just now have been released to go back to the gym. My son was ok but my husband and I were the ones injured. With that, my husbnad not having a job, and my job deciding to move my position back to Texas I have been going crazy. I think that stress can cause you not to lose weight but I'm not sure. I got a fill last month and I still have restriction. I dunno. I just want to jump start my weightloss again so I can begin to once again see results. All the clothes I wear are baggy because I don't have the funds to buy new clothes now due to the accident. I am just so damn aggravated!!!

 

Sorry about the Whine Fest.

Things will get better!!!! Be thankful that you and your husband were able to recover from the accident. Stay positive, once you start going to the gym that will help with the stress and you'll begin to see your weight drop again. I wish you well......

I am glad your family was not horribly injured. This is life--the part WE struggle with, the one we wll continue to fight, the one that made us overweight to begin with.. How we deal with sadness, stress, pain, happiness...all of it. Our new tool...is just that, it doesn't fix what is in our heads. But you can do it. I too was stalled and also due to my own wants--all the wrong things for a month, At 9 months out am actually eating a couple bites and thinking ok I am full. AND stopping! ha ha. Though I 'want' more...for the taste, for the soothing factor, whatever is messed up in my head, but it is happening. I have had several fills, and a couple of un-fills....and may have finally found the spot.

I certainly do not have the challenges you have had lately and I think everyone would struggle under such stress. Do not kick yourself ! Just keep trudging along

and know that you have the tool, and ok if right now is tough, it is ok, the next meal (not day) is a whole new chance. Use your tool, use the advise here. Try the liquid thing...I have been lucky, I go back to meat, ice water and low to no carbs.

Best of luck. Happy Thanksgiving!
