Pardon my long windiness.
Started in April 2013 at 245lb. My husband and I started at the same time after a trip to Puna Canta. Of course he dropped like a rocket...and it was difficult for me. I had my issues.. strayed here and there... but became Responsible for My Actions and Accountable for the choice I had made.
Last year in our food modification process, I become aware that my husband had taken me for granted...I was fixing our food (we live, work, play 24/7) I was making my WI's, checking in with my coach... soon I was also picking up his food. I re-eval'd my part in "enabling" his behaviors... I talked it over with our coach. It was agreed... to each his own. I stopped picking up his food... coach held him accountable...... Soon he stopped going.
I plugged along.... Christmas at Disney 2014 (gain of 4#).
Last Thursday my husband surprised me by starting IP again-- he is struggling with the plan. I am staying my course!
Besides the protocol, I have learned a few things on my journey.
Doing something is better than nothing at all.
WE are responsible for ourselves.
We can only "fix" our broken.. and sometimes that is a monumental task in it's self.
I started IP with a Goal Weight of 185. I found it is much better to make a short term that is reasonable- Achieve it, Celebrate it and then make another one.
Well Yesterday I MADE my short term goal of under 200 lbs, it took me a while but IT IS ALL MINE. From a size 18 to a size 8. I have found that a number is a number.. but WOW what the measurements (inches) are where it's at.
Thanks to You... everyone for reading, listening and supporting!
I didn't realize it had been THREE years since I last logged in! WOW! Could be part of how I have gained 10 lbs??
Hope I'm back for a while. Trouble is remembering to log in. Gotta make a new habit, I guess.
Part of my weight gain is the trauma I've experienced in the last year...which is really when I've gained all the weight. In May 14 we began a journey that ultimately led us to my 9 yr old daughter being diagnosed with a genetic disorder called neurofibromatosis. We also found out that she has 5 brain tumors (part of the disorder) and at one point thought she had optic nerve cancer. Three days after we found out there was NO cancer, my dad committed suicide (later, we found out from his autopsy that he had terminal lung cancer). I've stress eaten myself into bigger blue jeans.....and see no end in sight. So THIS is why I'm back. Looking for lots of encouragement. I've gotta get my mind back in a good place so I can get this weight back off me! At one point, I had lost exactly 100 lbs. I've gained 15 back from that point....and can see the other 85 coming back quickly.
Welcome back, Diana, you have a plateful of challenges, and taking care of YOU can only help you deal with them. I'm so sorry about your dad and all the health problems you daughter is facing -- sending you strength and healing vibes!
Seeing as I've been 45 for almost a week now I guess it's time to finally admit I'm actually in my 40's. It will take a bit to add my list so this isn't all my info yet.
Got an appointment with GYN week after next---maybe she can help me.
Gotta make a new habit, I guess.
