Kitty, I'm with you. I am not staying OP on the weekend and it shows. Hopefully my visit with the new doctor next week will result in some sort of effective treatment that lets me get back to exercising!
Having a pity party day. I've been trying to tell myself I'm happy with how I look at this weight but I'm not, and all I can think about is how I "let myself go" (not true - I still eat clean and exercise almost daily, and I'm only up 5-8 lbs with no real gains in a long time), yadayadayada.
Neurodoc - I'm still having the same constipation problem I've struggled with for ages, and have been taking a colace tab every night for about two months. Am I hurting myself by taking it that often? Do I need a break from it?
Thanks kittycat40. Huge commiseration hugs for everyone on this thread. It's a stupid place to be in. A constant struggle.
In my case my dilemma is "Life is too short to be unhappy with yourself and feel deprived 24/7" vs. "Life is too short not to look and feel my best, it will only get harder as I get older."

you'll do fine. When are you coming back to the US? My niece is hoping for a 2nd year in JET and then touring Europe before she returns.
July 31...AHHH! It's coming up. She'll have such a good time, JET is wonderful in that it offers generous travel opportunity. I've certainly gone a lot of places (and spent a lot of money I could have invested/saved) while here.

Totally get it. For me, it's if I want to look what I think is my best, <124, then I must be very strictly on plan during the week with very small splurges on the weekend. If I am ok with 130+ I can have little splurges all thru the week. Unfortunately, or fortunately, as I believe in enjoying all our senses, I really like to eat (and drink )
Clearly, I need to come to a resolution on what is more important to me. At this moment my mindset is to try for feeling fabulous in my own skin. I know that splurges are not fully out, just in much smaller quantities than I prefer
With that said, my scale today is back to Friday's weight. Onward, forward, downward
BTW, Kramp, you are so beautiful! nice new pic
