I have to be honest

After 4 pretty good weeks on WW, there came the 5th, when I gave up.  Yes, I said no to sweets a couple of times, but not in the last 3 days.  Got on the scale this morning, needless to say I am very disappointed on myself.

Maybe, just maybe, I will find the right mindset tomorrow, and start over again.

Why can't we, on WW say NOPE (where P stands for pie, or candy, or pizza, or...whatever else which makes us fat)?

How was I so good, ignoring temptations 15 years ago, and lost just as much as I needed.

Just the thought of having ignored to enter my points for the last 2 days and that depresses me to no end.

The PA at the PT place is telling me she can feel I am depressed and wanted to prescribe an anti-depressant.  She is sure it will help with the chronic pain, as well as my diet.

But I don't want to depend on anything to achieve my goal.  Am I getting soft in my old age?  Is it Diabetes which brings up the cravings?

Oh, well, much like some of our quitters here (me too through the years before this quit I want to call the last), I have to flip the page and start over again.  Hoping one week did not erase 4 weeks of honest efforts.

Mad, depressed and self-destructive me

Dear friends, thank you all for understanding, suggestions, compassion, guidance.  Much like picking up a cigarette after I did all the home work, have a box full of tools, knowing everything there is to know, and still picking it up and smoking it, I do with food.

This is not my first time on WW.  The first time, 15 years ago, I lost nearly 40 ponds, and felt great.  I know almost by heart how to calculate the "new" points; the old formula I really knew it by heart.  But, there is life, stress, and associated disease.  For me, they make it hard to resist temptation.  

Almost everything lost last week is back.

But I am starting a new day, a new week, and will start by stopping at the store to get some salad for lunch.  Unfortunately the weekend was me going along with the 2 members of my family, along with their choices, and not going shopping for my own needs.  As moms or daughters you all know how we always put others first.

We'll keep you all informed, much love, hugs, and thanks for your support.

I'm so sorry you are struggling with your weight.  When I quit last Oct. (2017) I ended up with night time 'hand to mouth disease' and snacked after dinner up till bedtime. I gained 30 lbs. With my stomach being small I haven't gained weight since that surgery. I cried every weigh in and ended up having to buy 2 sizes up in clothes which made me mad to have to spend that money.  Finally in May I took back control and managed to lose 26 of those pounds which is in my +/- 5 lb range.  I've been on WW in the past which is great but it doesn't address any medical or medication changes.  Be sure to tell them you quit smoking at your next meeting and they may be able to suggest a modified point amount daily.  I'm sorry this has happened to you. Nothing like a double whammy at a rough time!  Keep the quit. Smoking doesn't help.

Thank you Julie, unfortunately it is my self control which is causing me to vary so much in behavior.  And I also spoiled my family and friends with sweets.  Today is one of my co-worker/friend's birthday, and I made something quick and dirty, maybe I will not be tempted to try it on, yeah, I wish...I don't even want to know how many I had...counted them as 15 points out of my 23/day.

But look, aren't they hard to resist???

Daniela2016  WOW, my mouth is watering.  I don't have a weight issue but I have a serious cholesterol issue.  My primary care doc's office called and I am seeing a cardiologist for Halloween.  They said my cholesterol is horrible...yeah, I kinda figured, I love sweets and I also love cheese.  She said I should not eat anything white.  Uh...so chocolate is okay?  No...sugar is white.  I had a giant salad for dinner but there is NO WAY I am going to be that strict with my diet.  I also had the blood test when I was NOT fasting and I can't even remember what I had the night before but my appointment was so early in the morning that I certainly was not prepared for fasting blood work.  She said my liver and pancreas and blood sugar are great...well, that's just SWELL but I am at very high risk for a heart attack or a stroke if I can't get this cholesterol down.  Fortunately, the cardiologist is coming to the town where I live for the appointment so I won't have to drive 45 minutes or longer.  YAY!

Just looking at hour pics, I would have never said you can even have a cholesterol problem Ellen, elvan‌.  Funny enough, my last tests revealed a good lipid panel, on the high side, but still in normal values; I guess all the swimming helped.  Glad you do not have to travel too far to see the specialist.  Please keep us posted with the results, much love!

Daniela2016‌ I was pretty disappointed but I will keep a closer eye on what I eat.  I already exercise regularly.  My family has a history of high cholesterol.  I was SO hopeful that my cholesterol would be down because I quit smoking,  I would really rather not go on statins if I can avoid them.  Good for YOU having a good lipid panel!  It's something I will have to work toward.

XOXO,

Ellen
