Rough Week....

This week was rough....I have been down in the dumps most of the week. I think the main issue was food and I have been going off my diet. It might be because it's Christmas but then again it could be that there have been a few individuals in my life that haven't been as supportive as I hoped. It actually kind of hurts but I know I have to let it go. I have also been beating myself up because I think I have talked the ears off some of my closest friends. I have 4 months to go before I have the surgery so I am thinking I might back off a little bit. Maybe I should focus on getting into the water and working out then this surgery. I have a feeling it is driving me nuts and those around me.

 

Actually I just want to get through the holidays without wanting to eat everything in front of me. Being around my family can do that to this girl. When I get back a few days before the New Year I won't be traveling to visit them until after the surgery. Maybe that will help me keep on track and do my best on the pre-surgery diet and getting my knees better. It seems like I go 1 step forward and 3 steps back every other week. I know that things will get better but waiting isn't fun!

Don't beat your self up for talking to your friends about your troubles. That's what friends are for, right? The holidays are sooooo hard. I'm going to try and have a step by step plan for the 24th and 25th. I'm frustrated to about this time of year. I feel like I'm gonna gain it all back! Just keep focusing on surgery. It's the best thing that has ever happened to me.

Thanks :) I am trying to focus more on the positive side of things rather than the negative. I gave too much energy to it last week. The one good thing about this Christmas is that my mom is in the same process as me so I think my family will behave during this time. I am also starting to think that I picked a good time. I start my 3 month supervised diet early next month and surgery's not until May....I will have plenty of time to get used to my new eating before next Thanksgiving and Christmas. I just need to stay positive and I know I'll get through it. Thanks again Molly :)
