Healthy Weight Loss

Miss Scarlett · 10-20-2013, 07:51 AM

Gosh, it's been a while since I've posted in here.

Where to start...the problem with not being able to eat is history. It took some doing but I was able to gain nearly 7 lbs.

That sounds odd but my WL doctor explained it was necessary because I was malnourished and my electrolytes were approaching dangerous levels. No more drinking that nasty Pediasure and (equally nasty) Pedialyte every day. No more being "threatened" with another treatment which would have been extremely unpleasant, not to mention socially awkward.

The super short explanation for my not eating - extreme stress.

Every day I thank G-d for the people who never gave up on me.

My WL doctor; so sweet, wise and gentle. A very patient and understanding man but tenacious as all get out! LOL

My friends who cared enough to intervene. Without them life would have been completely unbearable but they kept me afloat in those stormy seas. I am forever grateful to them.

And then there's my Beau. Whose strength, understanding and loving, unconditional support, even during my darkest hours, was simply amazing. He witnessed me at my absolute worst and yet stayed by my side. Not out of some need he had to rescue me but because, as he put it, "You're a wonderful woman who I want in my life. I want to grow old with you."

Now that everything is back on track it's time to start moving forward with my weight loss, though at a much slower pace. This is frustrating (those 7 lbs really bug me) but the healthy way to go and I need to keep that in mind.

Sugar is so darn addictive! Did anyone see the story in the news the other day about Oreos being more addictive than cocaine?

Yes i read that on AOL... i am not surprised and it's why i don't keep them or stuff like that in the house.

I had two pieces of German Dark Wheat press with lite peanut butter on them for breakfast.

Late lunch: Grilled chicken sandwich with only pickles.

Dinner: Depends on what time I get off from work.

I power walked up a flight of escalators today.

I thought that since many of us lose our way in terms of sticking to healthy eating over the holidays; it might be a good time to resurrect this thread.

My way has been lost. Not permanently, however.

My daughter was over our house last weekend, with my oldest daughter and I was bemoaning the weight I have gained since I have been with D.

My youngest daughter called them "happy pounds".

Uh, no.

I am personally very happy with my love, my job, my life: but not the pounds I have picked up.

I am working on portion control again, very seriously. That is always my first step.

I am back to at weight management as a critical part of my health.

Healthy Weight Loss has always been a great thread and a big help for me.

How are you doing?

Andrea · 12-19-2013, 08:59 AM

Thank you, Anya, for bumping this thread. I too have put pounds back on and need to refocus.

I have been traveling this week and find it hard to worry about what I am eating and how much I am eating, especially when I have to consider others and their wishes.

As a side note, I did sign up to walk a 5K in March so I will begin my training in January. I have always wanted to do a marathon so this is a good start.

Maybe time to resurrect this thread?!

Between getting back on the wagon with my meal plan and being sick last week I lost 8 pounds in 7 days.

I had lost 151 pounds on my own over the last couple of years but had gained 20 pounds back over the last 5 months. Decided to button down last week and get back to what I know is good for me and the 8 pounds is feeling REALLY good off of my knees!

Going back to a 99% meatless diet and back to my Fitbit steps!

anyone else back on the wagon?

Gemme · 09-09-2016, 05:04 PM

That's phenomenal progress, Medusa. The past two and a half months I've been working to bring down the number on the scale and, more recently, to keep an eye on my sugar intake. It's been slow-going but I'm down a little over 11 lbs. Hopefully, the slower it goes, the more likely it will stay off.
