I was going along working through things and feeling so much better about myself till weigh-in day last week. I was so disappointed when I weighed... I gained 2 pounds. This really set my mind back because I felt I was doing ok, not super good, and if anything I might just stay the same. But, no.....I gained 2 pounds. I have tried to let it go and move on...it's not the end of the world but it sure is disappointing. I have been so emotional lately. Feeling worthless for not losing weight. Not being able to get my body back into a slow steady loss. Don't get me wrong, I am happy (some what) that I am not gaining everything back but, I'm tired of sitting here with at least another 40-50 pounds left to lose. Enough of that.
The one thing I did for myself last week, that I have been putting off, is....I went to the doctor. I had a blood test and found out I am anemic. And then they made me another appointment to talk about it next week. I guess you only get one answer at a time... first you find out if something is wrong or not, then the next appointment you get to talk about what to do about it. How complicated can it be to tell me to take iron. So, I'm not waiting...I'm going to start taking iron now and maybe I will feel better by my next appointment. So, I did do one thing for myself and got that taken care of.
I did my regular workouts and I also got in some wii fit time this week. My food intake has been not-so-good.
Today is a new day and I am going to take care of myself.
Hope you have a happy healthy day too.

Okay, I count two good things (at least) you did last week:
1) doctor visit
2) exercise
I know you're disappointed, but unless you ate 7000 extra calories that didn't get worked off, the scale blip is just a blip. And if you DID eat 7000 extra calories--well, don't do that again! :)
Wishing you a better week, especially that you FEEL better!
You are always right.........I hope you are right on the scale blip. I didn't eat 7000 extra calories and besides I did exercise more too.
Well, glad you got the blood work done, and hopefully you don't need to take prescription iron, but even if you do; it's treatable.
I try to look at my scale as a friend, not a foe. It's easier now that I'm post menopausal and don't have the hormone fluctuations. Sometimes, the scale tells me things I don't want to admit to. In that way, it's a friend. :)
Hang tough! :)
Sunny, it is so good to come for a visit. It has been a good while. I was so happy to see that you are doing such a good job with your weight. I am now down to 189 from the 256 that I started out a few years ago. I still have pounds to go. Have had some health problems but am doing really well now. I hope you have your anemic problem under control. so glad to be back and it is always a pleasure coming to see you, connie
