...another year....Feb 02 2008 22:02
I'm just dropping by to see how everyone is doing and to let you know I'm still alive.
I wish I could say I lost all the weight and am now a svelte size 10 - but I'd be lying big time! In fact, I've undone most of what I accomplished during my last trying at losing weight and I don't think I've been lower or been more disgusted with myself than I have been over the last 4 or 5 months, which is part of the reason I have stayed away - embarrassment, disappointment (in myself), like I've let people down... hard to help others and support others when I'm doing such a screwed up job on myself... just seems so hypocritical.
At this point, I know I need to get back on the plan - eating right, back to the gym, getting back to drinking water, etc.... I am just finding myself so UN-motivated. I figured maybe, by starting to post here again, it might be a baby step that I need to get back on the road to feeling and looking better.
I have been thinking of all my friends here at CC, and wondering how you are and missing you all. I hope that the new year has been good to you and your loved ones, and that you are having continued success with your individual goals.
Hugs to you all!
P.S. I was wondering if someone - probably one of the older (been here a while) members might be able to help me. Around summertime of last year, someone had posted a link to an article about weight fluctuation and how it can be attributed to many things (besides water weight), including things like a full bladder. If anyone knows the article I'm talking about and has the link, could you please email me, or send me a message? I was telling a friend about it, and can't find the link - thought I had it bookmarked but I don't. I really would appreciate it - and thank you!
Welcome back and hugs to you too!! I was just thinking about you earlier today-- must have been kharma!! I went thru a similar feeling of "who am I to give advice when I can't do waht I'm asking you to do" But take heart - this isn't a walk in the park working on a healthy lifestyle takes alot of hard work and sometimes life throws us into the grinder. The important thing is you have taken that step and came back! I don't recall the thread or article - but with the new calore count plus version if you click in your profile "all messages posted " it will take you to all threads you posted in it takes some paging thru to get to past posts but I've found some I knew where out there that I couldn't find doing a search -- but this only works if you posted in the thread you are reffering to. Once again welcome back |
(((HUGGS))) Welcome back. |
There she is! We missed you! Is that article the one in the CC+ Library Q&A section, under "how did I gain 4 pounds in a day"? |
I have a lifetime of not being motivated (some odd 44 years or so) so I am right there with you!! Yes, your approach, baby steps, is great. Next thing you know you will be up and running. The main thing is that you came back and gave it another go!! Go, go, go girl!!! |
Nice to see you!!! |
claire, I'm not sure where I saw it! LOL I thought it was in one of the forums, in response to a question, however I went searching through the forums the other day - must've spent about an hour and half looking - and no such luck. For some reason I kind of remember a drawing of a torso and it showed the digestive system (stomach, intestines, etc) to show how long it takes for food to go through the system, and how other things can factor in to what can make you weigh heavier than you actually are. I found a couple of articles online that sort-of touched base on the different factors, but I haven't had any luck finding that particular article. ::shrugs:: I don't know... maybe I'm just losing it!! LOL |
