Ugh, I seriously need to vent. Since I decided to lose weight, it seems like there's always something to slow it down.

First it was having to take Plan B (which made my weight go up). Then I injured my knee whatchamadoodle, which made it impossible to walk and run (which made my weight go up). Now I have TWO wisdom teeth giving me problems. One is growing in the wrong way and hitting a nerve. The other is impacted and caused an infection. Both have to be removed. So I'm in major pain, I can barely eat and I'm on heavy-duty painkillers and antibiotics (and of course one of the possible side-effects of the antibiotic is weight gain). It has to get better, right? I feel like everything is working against me, trying to prevent me from losing weight.

Hang in there! You will back to your normal losing weight self in no time, just don't give up!

Times I can't work out I try to compensate by being careful with my food choices. If you can't workout maybe try to cut back a little bit if you normally work out a lot.

Thanks! I'm definitely going to stay on plan. Just frustrated. Hopefully I'll wake up feeling a little better.

I'm glad you're feeling a little better. It sounds like you are doing a good job of coping with things!

I hear you - I had to start healthy eating for medical reasons,then my eldest child was referred to an occupational therapist,then she got measles & the youngest got a throat infection + then measles on top of that as you can imagine my eating plan took a dive!!! Back to the drawing board!

I'm sorry you and your family are having a hard time, Ms JanVan. I hope things start to look up for you soon.
