Down And Out

So I am pretty down at the moment. Last month I kicked butt - lost 8lbs. This month 1 so far. I am stuck at 201. I know that for the last week I am eaten a little more than normal, but still well below my BMR. I know I only have myself to blame so I should just shut up and get back on the program.

 

With Thanksgiving coming and me cooking it, I hope that I can be good. I am really an addict. I see all the wonderful food and I want it. I have got to get back in touch with my control. I was so gun ho at the get go, but now I am falling down. Life has gotten busy and I am rushing trying to prep for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I have something scheduled every single weekend from now until mid-Jan. I don't make time to excercise because I am going from before the sun rises until my head hits the pillow at night. Hadn't even had time to have "play" time with the hubs in 2 weeks until he finally said last night you gotta stop I just need a little time- so I stopped at 8:30 and spent and hour with him, feel kinda bad I feel asleep on his should.

 

I know this journey is all about me and I have got to take ownership of it, it is my responsibility to do what is required to make the band a success. The thing of it is that I have never had a lot of confidence in myself so I always have that fear in the back of my head that I will fail.

 

Today when I get home I have to go to the attic and get out all the christmas stuff - since Thanksgiving with the in-laws is both Thanksgiving and Christmas we are decorating. This is going to be a long couple of months!!!

 

Any encouragement would be appreciate!

My weight has not changed in over 2 months but my inches have gone down. I can't figure that one out. My husband says i eat too much. I don't think so. I go back to the doctor in 2 weeks for my 2nd fill. I'll find out what I am doing wrong. One blogger once told me she stayed the same weight for many many months but lost inches.

Good luck.

Kimi, it is frustrating but it happens off and on through out this process. I can not tell you the number of times I would be stuck at a weight and I never thought I would get to onederland. it will come, just be patient and continue to do what you are doing.
