Rep Power: 24 | | The thing that made me happy today is my wife is 7.5 weeks pregnat according to the ultrasound today. Everything is great and the heartbeat is 157 BPM.
All appears to be really good on that front right now. 
It really lifted my spirits but not for too long. |

I look like rolled crap and I am tired of it. Today this all starts again. I am going to write down what I eat and keep under a yet to be determined number, I am going to the gym 6 days a week and doing what I can. This is bullshit and I know I am better than this. I am falling back into the same patterns I had before and this scares the crap out of me.
This needs to and will stop now.....
Yesterday sucked for a variety of reasons- not going to go into any of them and it took the miracle of my wife being pregnant to get me into anything resembling a good mood.
I dropped into one of my finks yesterday- not sure why these happen. I find myself very melancholy and distant at these times. Interesting times for reflection but I get so pissed off at things..... this is officially one of them. |
Ok so you identified the problem, got pissed (appropriately) and now you have to let it go and move on.
And yes, I appreciate the irony of this as I prepare to write my own rant in my diary. Feel free to yell at me as needed.
Carry on. |

That happens - happened to me! - and you stopped it before it could happen. You are not where you wanted to be. Yeah, that sucks. But you are also not where you were before. That's a real good thing, darlin. You don't have to worry about undoing damage, you can just start back where you left off. June is going to be your month! Quote:

This needs to and will stop now..... | Everyone has a relapse at some point. I came to this site at the end of one, disgusted with myself. A favorite female friend of ours experienced this a week ago. It happens to us all. We just have to stay on our toes. Seriously, changing your lifestyle, activity, and eating habits has not "cured" you. It's made you healthier, has given you self-esteem, and lots of other positive rewards . . . but we are never "cured." The temptation will always be there and we will always have to fight it. Sometimes it is just easier than at other times. You are now back in fighting mode.  |

I honestly thought there was a 'cure'...
apparantly not.
Thanks Angela. |

Thanks Angela. | I know, hun. In the beginning I thought there was too. That's just not the reality. Now that you know there isn't one - you are prepared for future attacks.
I'd hug ya but I seriously don't want a hormonal pregnant woman knocking on my door tonight. The thought is there, though.  |

Thanks Trops, and you are right. I am not discounting any of that but dammit I need to be selfish and whip my own fat ass into shape here.
Friends are great though.
Thanks guys. |

Rep Power: 27 | | | Part of your 'problem' (using that word loosely) is that this is your first real attempt at losing weight. A large group of us here have been doing this for years or for a good part of our adult lives.
This all something you are experiencing for the first time. It will pass. When it happens again, you will know how to deal with it better. Think of it as part of the learning curve. | | |
