Im venting to keep myself from my specialty -emotional eating. So after 14 months of all kinds of ankle breaks and knee problems from a fall, I found out today that my knee replacement that I had in May might be moving and causing a stress fracture in my leg. I'm back on crutches again for the 9th month out of 14. Discouraged is an understatement.....
and since IP instead of eating everything in site I don't want to eat anything at all. I still have my protien and 2 veggies left and I just don't care.
I will get by this but I guess I just need to vent and then wallow for a while.
If you believe in prayer, say a few for me
thanks all for listening

This is very interesting for me to read!

I am so sorry you are having this problem.

This is the main reason I went on IP. I will likely have to get a knee replacement in the future. My doctor had wanted to send me to a specialist 3 years ago and I told him to wait to see if I could get some more weight off.
At that point I was down to 171 from 204 at just over 5 feet
. He sent me for a scan this spring when I got to 130 and he said there had been no further deterioration since 3 years ago and he would just keep monitoring it.
My mom had a knee replacement at age 75 and now at age 89 she is annoyed they didn't do both knees back then. She is a very tiny lady and she sailed through the recovery.

You are doing the best thing possible for yourself. We do lose weight on IP and we do it without exercise. So tough as it is everyday it will pay off in your eventual recovery.

Good luck with this, it has been a long time that you have been dealing with it.Pat

Just keep swimming! You're doing all the right things for your body. Sending you all my positive energy

thx yall.....I really appreciate the support. My DH came home and made me dinner. I feel loved from yall!

Don't quit!! I'm having a lousy day too- nit as bad as yours but its all relatuve right? i cant even fathom a salad tomorrow, if i smell a green pepper anytime soon i may just die. Add to that :Im getting my period and crabby as heck. I keep telling myself to suck it up and when I'm down, I pick up my phone and jump on here to make it through.
We can do this!!!

Hang in there Maezy - sometimes life just sucks, but the saying "What doesn't kill us makes us stronger" was my mantra for nearly 2 years...
sending healing thoughts lady.

sending you my prayers.

Hang in there! Be proud that you reached out for support instead of reaching for food!

Praying!

Lets add to lousy days
I found out my 15 year old niece has been missing since Monday nite...

This sentence totally made my day - which had also been less than stellar so far . I'm so glad I'm not the only one who feels this way occasionally! I've eaten more vegetables in the last six week that I had in the entire previous five years combined, and I think if I have to walk into the supermarket produce department again I may just have spontaneous onset of Tourette's Syndrome .

I am so sorry Lisa, I hope your family hears something soon.

Glacier - You made me spit out my water!!! that really is so funny and EXACTLY how I feel! We have a local produce stand open year round. You know its bad when they say "yea you're back!"
Thanks all for listening and for the support! I love 3FC!!!!

Lisa, sorry to hear about your niece, prayers coming your way
