re: Weight loss journey

Seems like its slowed down in here a lot. I NEVER have time to get on BG it seems.
But I weighed myself this morning and almost wanted to cry. I havent seen a number on the scale this low in forever....165.2!

So, I decided I wanted to do a before/current photo. And let me just say...I knew I had lost weight and my body was changing. But I still felt like my love handles were HUGE. Seeing these pics side by side, I dont feel as bad about myself now, but still think I have a lot more I want to do.

You look great! Good work!

Thanks! Im feeling a lot better about myself and exercising is getting easier and easier. I ran 3 miles yesterday in 29 mins and 47 seconds! I was so proud of myself!

I feel off the wagon, yet again!!   Does anyone ever feel like even with dieting and exercise you will NEVER be able to be thin? Like its just smurfing impossible for your body to do it? I have depression/anxiety/ptsd and its been bad lately, it kind of comes in cycles. One way I notice it is I feel so discouraged about things, even small ones. And it feels hard for me to get excited, even about really good stuff. Like I have been applying for a new job like crazy but sometimes the idea of filling out yet another app is daunting because I feel like it wont matter. Sorry Im rambling, Ive just been feeling so down lately. I dont want to feel bad for myself but sometimes its just so damn hard dealing with depression. Ive been dealing with it for 9 years, you think it would eventually go away! Thanks for listening yall. How is everyone else doing?

How are you feeling? Mouth all better?

Quoting ~*~ Nichole ~*~:" How are you feeling? Mouth all better?"

It's much better. Now I have to start all the other work. So, we aren't done yet, but I'm feeling pretty good. I didn't lose a freaking lb though! I gained a few over the course of it all. Sigh. haha

Darn that sucks, are you back onto all solids now? I remember feeling like it took freaking forever to chew chips and stuff again. Not that I needed to be eating that anyways ;)

Yes, I am. I am allowed to eat whatever I feel "comfortable" eating. I actually felt pretty good right after, even though it took a whole week to be able to eat solids again. Next step: root canals and possibly more extractions. Then we'll start with the implants. haha.

Im glad you are feeling better!

Blah so busy! Still hitting the gym and eating well but hit another stall. Man I'm good for those lol. Finals are over so things will be chill (as chill as they get with 4 kids) until 4/1 then it's back to the grind. How did your interview go with Teavana?

Im sure you will get through it soon, you always work through them!   It went well, thank you for asking. I actually was offered a position but I ended up not taking it, it just wasnt the right fit in a lot of different ways.
