So, the stress of preparing my thesis drove me to a point of insanity where I thought it would be a good idea to step on the scale. In my mind, I thought it would be LOWER than last time I looked because I've battled the stomach flu for five weeks.
I hopped on and I am a full 15 lbs heavier than I was five weeks ago. FIFTEEN pounds... and I'm devastated.
I haven't seen 280 on the scale in at least 7 years. At one point I was even down to 199 via Weight Watchers.
I need to be grounded. I need some support. I literally feel on edge right now because this just isn't something I wanted to deal with now... I wanted to wait until after graduation.
However, seeing 280 even... it broke me. It's something that needs attention NOW. Please offer me some direction. Despite 28 years of experience being a fat chick, I have little experience with dieting. I've tried Weight Watchers and that's it... it worked well but stopped working in about 2004.
I've since been told I was insulin resistant and needed to see a nutritionist and fertility specialist for PCOS. Of course, I'm an idiot and I didnt' do any of that... I keep thinking I can wait...
So, here I am... no thesis and fat to boot. Any/all suggestions are welcomed and encouraged.
Genuinely... thank you... thanks for letting me vent. I didn't know what else to do so I did a web search for "fat" and "message board" and came upon this site. I want to change starting tomorrow but it seems like such an overwhelming task.
Thanks again and be well.
