Guest guest Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 I'm down today for some reason. Don't know why. Just one of those days where you feel like crying. I think a big part of it is because the scale went up the past 2 days instead of down. It's so frustrating. I need to stop weighing every day. I'm starting to obsess too much over this. I don't want to be that way. I just can't seem to help myself. Maybe I should have Tim hide the scales? LOL I know I'm doing good. I've hit the 50 lb mark. I'm 6 weeks post op tomorrow. I've lost 50 lbs in 7 weeks. That's excellent! I just can't help but get frustrated when I step on those scales and they went up instead of down. ARGH! I think part of what bothers me about being so obsessive about is it is because we're dealing w/ Tim's oldest daughter being anorexic. I don't want to set a bad example for her by stressing over this. Opposite ends of the spectrum; but not healthy either way. She's 17. And according to her myspace weighs 116 and wants to way 110 before school starts next week. So she's been fasting & on a liquid diet. We've been dealing w/ this w/ her for 2 years now. She got better and was at least healthy; but had a relapse. Her mom took her to a specialist last week. It's weird because Jane came over for dinner last weekend. She ate great. Had a big salad & some shrimp. We had grilled pork chops; but she's a vegetarian now so I had some shrimp for her. She probably ate about 20 shrimp. Tim thinks a lot of the issues stem from her mom. I don't know. I told Tim maybe she should come live w/ us for a while. She always eats good when she's here. He's going to talk to her mom about it. We'll see what happens. Thanks for letting me vent. W 380/330/160 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Oh I'm sorry you are feeling so crummy!! 50 lbs is 7 weeks is so awesome. You will have ups and downs like this. It is totally normal. When you are losing weight you are also dealing with all the hormones (SP?) that have been stored up in your fat cells. They are running free and messing wth you . I'm also so sorry about your step daughter, maybe it would be a good idea if she did come live with you 2. She just might need more dad time. Hugs!!! > > I'm down today for some reason.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 I would probably feel better if I did exercise more. I'm just so tired when I get home from work. I try to do some treadmill; but I just can't last past a few minutes. I think if I could exercise more I'd do better. I had a good work out in the pool yesterday playing w/ my daughter. It was fun. :-) W 380/330/160 DanaColan@... wrote: > > > > I know what you mean about the scale and being bummed out. I was down to 253 > one day, then the very next day I was 256!

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Yea, I think some dad time might help her too. He doesn't get to spend as much time as he'd like w/ either of the girls because of his work schedule.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Hi - I hope you can cheer up soon! I get that come & go depression days.Just the smallest things bug me. I try not to weigh everyday.It is very hard though.I think seeing gain just flares up the sadness.I think I may have Jim hide the scale until Friday weigh in. ) Kim rny 6/23/06 298/249/135 > > I'm down today for some reason.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 you are right it will pass and it is very easy to become obsessive over the scale and its' numbers! But right or wrong it is easy to feel disappointed and discouraged. It will pass. 50 lbs is awesome! You must be doing something right, so sooner than later your body will catch up with you again. I am sorry to hear about your steppdaughter, what a scary thing. I will pray all goes well with her. Wishing you a happy day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 I know exactly how you feel. I go through days when I'm in a bad mood too. I have had days I also get into crying jags. Don't worry about the scale you are still healing and it will go down again. Marilynn > > you are right it will pass and it is very easy to become > obsessive over the scale and its' numbers!
