Then 3 weeks ago, I dislocated my knee and have once again not been able to do much exercise so just started wrecklessly eating again!!! Now I am up 15 pounds and feel so ashamed of myself!! It's got me depressed and I can't get going!! I start out good in the morning and afternoon and then shoot it all down at dinner time! I have 1 more week before I can start back walking and I have got to get myself mentally where I was before! I blame it all on myself and take full responsibility but need some pepping up and moral support. I know I'm not the only one who has been here
you're not...I was just there myself...I gained back what I lost plus 20lbs. I thought my weight was as high as I would ever let it go...but apparently not.
I try not to shame myself cus it makes me feel bad and I need to feel motivated. the shame and the grief for time lost only fuel depression. I don't mean to sound like a Pollyanna...cus I'm surely not, but the shame makes me want to eat and lay in bed. so I slap myself on the wrist and start over. I put my scale where I see it every day and come to these boards.
you've done really well....I know you can do this!
