Major set-back being overcome!
I was extrememly successful with my dieting. I got to my goal size (not weight, because I know my body is much different than it was 15 years ago), and made an extreme move - I tossed out all my 'fat' clothes and vowed never to go back.
Well, then I was moved to a different work location, inter-office relationships were extremely strained, I stressed out beyond beliefe, had a quasi nervous breakdown, and 20 pounds later, I'm back on my feet and they are on the road to recovery and a new and improved thinner me.
I am taking some medication that is making it harder to lose the weight, but I'm trying to positive about it, and not let it get me down.
I'm also trying really hard to find another job, one that gets me out of this unhealthy environment. the sooner I am out of here, the sooner I can start feeling better about myself, the better I start taking care of myself.
I really think low-carb dieting makes me feel better, too. I know I feel drained after eating chips and high-sugar foods - if you can call them that - so that helps out tremendously.
I don't want to hit bottom again, and don't want to bore anyone with my story, but I think getting it out, venting, if you will, helps me actually read about my struggle, making it more real and less personnal, since everyone else can somehow relate, although I really hope not. As horrible as my life has been lately, it could have been much worse, and I'm thankful my health didn't deteriorate to the point where I can't recover.
I'm feeling good today and want to spread some of that to those who aren't so up.
