So I have been going through alot, I mean alot, lately. My dh lost his job in January. My boss wrote me a nasty letter talking about how I stink and am dirty, so I quit. My bil moved in with us, which is a real stress on our already stressful marriage. The first anniversary of my daughter's death was on the 28th of April, and on the 29th she would have been 4 years and 3 months old. We got rid of our dog, who since our daughter died, has been like a child to us. I want to scream. I am really trying to lose weight. I have never tried so hard. I didn't do my best the weekend of Lincoln's Angel Day, but here is the big news:
I gained 4lbs. back!
I am so mad at myself, but then I keep telling myself that this is a stressful time in my life and just keep trying and I can do it. Now I have lost 2 more lbs. so I have 2 more to get back to where I was.
I had a Dr.'s appointment yesterday and when I stepped on the scale I noticed that I had lost another 5lbs. since my previous appointment. A total of 11lbs. since I started going to the doc about 3 months ago. I told the nurse and I was very excited and she says in a disappointed voice "Well, you have to start somewhere..." I was like what? I have never lost weight when it was being tracked at the docs office, so I was just proud that somewhere in my record it was going to say I have lost 11lbs.
So is anyone else going through some extremely stressful times and have advice or encouragement for me. I could really use it!
Thank you,
