    "I think you're overdoing it"

    A few people lately have told me I am exercising too much. Going to the gym and taking classes is something I love doing now. I don't go multiple times a day. I feel healthy and fit. But several people really close to me have expressed "concern" that I've transferred my food addiction to an addiction to exercise and I am overdoing it and using it as a new coping mechanism. These people never said a word to me when I was literally eating myself to death. I don't know how to feel. I don't feel like I am overdoing the exercise - I give myself time to rest and work different muscle groups each time or alternate with cardio. I am kinda angry that now these people are giving me a hard time about something I feel is actually bettering me physically and emotionally, when they sat idly and watched me eat bags and bags of fast food and gain 150lbs in the last 9 years and never expressed any concern over that. Today I hit 130lbs down in less than 9 months and I'm well on my way to my personal goal weight well before my one year anniversary. I am finally proud of myself and confident and angry that these people aren't happy for me and are now telling me I am taking things to the extreme. I was about to apologize for the rant, but realized I'm in the right forum. LOL. Sent from my SM-G930R4 using BariatricPal mobile app

    Go ahead and vent! Many of us have felt the same thing. Eventually, your tummy will relax enough that you can eat some of everything for dinner. You will probably end up getting picky - for instance, bread at the table no longer tempts me. I trade it happily for extra veggies (My personal fave, yours may be different.) I eat some meals with no protein so that I can "pig out" (now a VERY relative term) on fruit and veggies. Then I'll hit up a protein shake later. You'll find a path that works for you but we understand that, in the beginning, it is very frustrating. It would be so nice to "turn off your wls" for just an hour or two, once a month - know what I mean? Hang in there - you've got a good handle on it!

    I know and you're right. But getting pis*ed and being defensive doesn't help or improve your position. You're right! But for your sake, you just have to label it as unimportant and choose to move on from that. And if necessary, then you limit your exposure to the toxic people. And live your best life. But that can be lonely if you don't have new people to form a bond.

    "I think you're overdoing it"

    Sorry, I posted my exercises in a paragraph above. It's changed a bit since my trainer left so I am on my own... Monday - Spin class Tuesday - 30 minute weights (Jillian Michaels DVD) Wednesday - Either a yoga class or a spin class Thursday - Rest or yoga or 30 minutes of weights - just depending on how I feel Friday - Rest Saturday - Spin class and yoga class Sunday - Spin class That's all.

    Needing advice

    I ran a temp of just over 100. One time it was 100.8. I had to go to the Er 2x due to being dehydrated. I'm not sure if it means anything (I did ok) but, it is best to call the Dr right away and get advice. Take care!

    I was walking immediately and went back to the gym doing cardio at 2 weeks, but no lifting more than 10 pounds until 4-6 weeks.
