Depression and Weight IssuesHave you been diagnosed with depression, are possibly on depression medication, and find it affects your weight loss efforts? Post here for support!
Hi ladies. Looks like everybody is busy today. Not much chatter to read. I need some support in getting back on the wagon. My birthday is Sunday and there will be a frenzy of eating till then. My friend is taking me out Friday, got a wedding reception on Sat night, reservations on Sunday, and a possible night out next week with other friends. If you are on track, these situations can usually be handled with minimal damage. When you are way off, and I am, you know it will be ugly and you may not even care. Next week I really need to re-commit in a big way. Anybody else in this boat? We don't always focus on weight here, which can be nice, so not sure how the rest of your weight loss efforts are coming.
Hope,my ticker hasnt moved in the last couple of weeks,because my weight went up a few pounds I weigh in again tomorrow,I always get anxious before a weigh in.I have been good all week ,only because I havnt had time lol.If my weight is up again this week I will have a melt down.We went for my moms b-day for greek food last weekend and It is all about choices.Stay strong try drinking lots of water or something keep it full with you at all times.I find it helps me anyway.I havnt drank my water this week though My plan states 32oz per day,my losses have been slower than most people and I think it has to do with the water intake,meaning I dont drink enough.
good luck.
Heather the sun is shining here too,It does feel great for a change,enjoy your walk.
and leenie from joisey u make me laugh
hey Debbie: How was the weigh-in? Hope it was good. It should have been since you were good last week. I must start again next week after this I proceed to over-enjoy this weekend of over-eating. It all starts tonight!
My pooch got a good report at the vet today. Pneumonia is clearing out of her lungs and she is acting like her old self.
I really wanted to wear VA Tech colors today but I was so much smaller when I went there I don't have anything that fits. My wardrobe now consists of black, black, and black. I have actually done an entire load of my clothes that I wore for the week and they have all been black. I would like to wear something else but I don't know of another color that's darker.
Miss hearing from all you other folks who apparently have more of a life that I do right now.
Hope, glad to here that your pup is doing better, that's wonderful news.
Debbie, how was your weigh in?
Cloudy here, but the snow is still melting, can see more ground every day. C (dd15) has a judo tournament in town tomorrow, so we have to get up early as her weigh in is between 7 and 8 am. We have to check it tonight though as she was half a pound over her weight class. The good news is that after she weighs in she can have a decent breakfast as her category doesn't start fighting until noon. Other than that all we are doing is mopping up muddy paw prints. We try to get Max as he comes in the door, but he still manages to leave prints everywhere. It feels like I've been eating like crazy, not so good. I have plans to meet up with a friend of mine on Monday and go for a walk, so that will be nice as we haven't been getting together to much lately.
Today I woke up feeling sick and had the dry heaves , I guess because there was nothing in my tummy. After I got to work I felt better.
FIL is sick, again. Has a high temperature, 102 & bad adominal cramps, he's still at home. He is going for a cat scan tomorrow, we stopped by the hospital and got the prep stuff he needs and will drop it off after work, in the morning.
It was a beautiful day today, too bad I am working so couldn't enjoy much of it!
Yesterday was a long day, I took my neice to the Childrens hospital in Philly PA to have surgery. We left at 3:30 am and I got home at 4:00 pm... with no sleep the night before so needless to say, this morning I feel like I have a hang over. The surgery went well but the drive there was over 2 1/2 hrs and in that insane city LOL...very scary drive. We have to go there in 2 months for another surgery and then every 6 months (she gets tumors that regrow on her vocal chords...if we don't remove them they cut off her air supply).
Don't think I'll be doing much today
Sassy feel better hon did they check FIL for appendix and gallbladder? geeze.
Buddly good luck with the tournament and dd's 1/2 lb. I think I saw one pile of snow left here LOLOL, today its supposed to be 70 - 75 degrees whooooooot...do you think spring is here yet? lol
Hope HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOMORROW !!! My MIL's b/day is tommorow and wellllll we'll be having a party for her too I need ALOT of support too getting back on track, its been a rough few months for me and I don't even know why. My biggest problem is exercise...I so despise it what do I do. I'm hear for ya... got any ideas how we can start again? I'm all ears.
Debbie, how's the basement? my dh had 4 feet but it was water, not sewage...my stars?? eeew. Is your basement finished? I agree with you chickie...water plays a huge part in WL and thats one thing I was always good at until a few months ago when I stopped. I just have to get my arse in geer again b/c summer is almost here (not that i'll wear a bikini, but I would like to feel decent in my capri's).
Heather cutie, how did you make out on your 3k? do you walk or run and are you doing it on a treadmill or the street? I used to...ha!!! used to HAAA long long time ago... power walk 5 miles a day in under 1 hour. I had powerful legs but that was a very very long time ago. I wish I had that drive again.
K - I HEAR you about the paw prints - I love the spring, but our lab loves searching out ANY damp spots under the trees and bringing in the mud! Ahh well - I like to think the cleaning burns calories!
Sassy - sorry to hear FIL is unwell again - what a roller-coaster ride for you. Hang in there!!
Debbie - drink up that water! How was the weigh in? Thinking of you!
Leenie - the walk was great! I went 3.3KM (so I am happy with my distance, although it felt like I'd gone farther! ... wait - I wouldn't KNOW what that felt like!! ) I am lucky enough to have fantastic walking trails by the river and through the surrounding woods - the dog loves it... although I thought it was killing him during the walk... he was actually panting and tripping over his feet on the way home! Poor guy - it was a long, sedentary winter in our house for everybody!
Right - I have this crazy dinner theatre show to do (2 shows today), and then rehearsal ALL DAY tomorrow for the musical that opens in less than two weeks, so I won't get to enjoy the sunshine -you guys enjoy it for me, and I'll look forward to hearing how you all spent your weekend!!
Well FIL is back in the hospital, again. They admitted him today.
I am still feeling lousy. I have a drs appt. Monday, so I hope they can figure this out, I'm sick of tummy troubles. (I've had them since I was a teenager and they still cannot figure it out!)
Leenie -- Hey Chica! I am not sure if they checked his appendix or not, he doesn't have a gallbladder anymore as he had that removed years ago, so its not that. I'm glad your neice's surgery went well, I hope her next surgery goes just as well.
Heather -- Hi ya! Thanks. I can't enjoy the sunshine either! We do have some here today! Totally gorgeous, but alas, here I am at work. lol.
I have to go to MIL's today for her birthday so I gotta run to get some cooking done, we are eating lunch there b/c FIL can't really stay awake very long.
LOL! LOL!
