It's not my TOM, but I have been lifting weights - OMGAWD I've grown a baby bicep!!!!!!

So maaaaaybe that's it, maybe it's water....but I'll be an anxiety sister with you...what if my body is peversely generating fat because it HATES me???! GRIN. That sounds funny but I really had that come up in my discussion with myself this morning. Big hug. I struggle with anxiety, paranoia and major control issues - and who knows what else - so I get it.

I have decided up in my head I need to stop weighing every day - in fact I liked the suggestion of just sticking to plan and waiting til you know you've lost something (looser pants). Not even every week. But - err - I am definitely addicted to that morning routine. Even when the results leave me depressed all day.

Isn't that funny?! And totally insane??!

Medication - that's a good question. It sounds like you are having to struggle to get the weight off. Was there any help in the forum for that? I think they have something like that. And if you have diabetes you need to get the weight off as it will help won't it? Or is that in type II only? Have you talked to your doctor - are there any alternatives?

Hey - are you trying a low-glycemic diet? I've even seen supplements out there you can take when you eat that (supposedly) lower the glycemic index of your food...?

Just thoughts off top of head. I'm a big one for learning everything I can so I can at least "feel" like I'm in control!

Hang in there! You still lost 16 lbs regardless!

Definitely get a new scale! :)

You're STILL you at a SLIMMER weight than when you first started!! :cool:

Chudge, I'm in the same boat as you. I'm pretty sure that my scale is lying to me. Case in point, when I go to the dr their scale tells me I am 17 lbs heavier that at home. I do have clothes on at the dr, but not 17 lbs worth. I will buy a new scale, but I'm going to wait until I can handle my new number.

Thanks guys again making me happy after a hard day happy happy :)
losermum yer i hate going to the doctors as that allways happens i actually refuse to get weighed there now (the doctors don't like me i'm far too difficult :) )

Yer bobblefrog i hate the anxiety and do think crazy thoughts simmilar to that don't worry haha. Yer i've been staying with my mum who doesnt have scales to stop me from weighing myself abt 3 times a day!!! But i think the whole clothes fitting thing is really making me happy atmo because (sorry don't no the american equivalent but i was able to buy size 12 shorts today i think thats a 10 in US) when 3 months ago i was two sizes bigger. However my anxiety is telling me that they're bigger as a store fault lol!!!
The loosing weight helps type 11 not type 1 really hard to explain but type 1's very different but i'll definatly look into it thanku 4 ur interest love :)
How's the exercising going? Do u find it harder exercising in public bcos of the anxiety atall???? xx
