frustrated

I am without any tech entertainment at home. First my internet went out last night. I watch all TV on the lapop now days, except news in the morning. Then while I was putting my laptop in the bag this morning at 4 am I hit something on the remote and now my TV is out. I just shook my head. I called my son last night to come see what's up with the internet. The cable company said it's something on my end. Probably something easy, but since I know nothing about computers, it's beyond me. So I cleaned out a couple of closets. I was at work by 6 am. Rode the bike to work this morning.

I have a confession. I have gained almost 15 lbs. I got on the scales this morning and was shocked to say the least. I am hoping that if I will just push the H20 and get back to work that it will come right back off. I have been stress eating. ALOT> Using food. Falling asleep way too early. I feel like I am hiding out. When Roxie told me to entertain more, I almost had an anxiety attack. I have become a hermit. When did this happen??

I am still walking almost everyday. I am loving walking on the treadclimber and pushing myself alittle more. I haven't been walking as far cause my buddies haven't been able to. So instead of making it up by myself, I let it slide. I have been allowing crap food back into my home and it has got to stop. I am feeling pretty frustrated with myself. To say the least.

I am not going to say that this is the day that I turn it all around. I am just going to do my best. Make the next right choice and not beat myself up. I feel that since I started therapy to try to work on some pretty serious issues so I don't gain the weight back........that I have started to gain the weight back . That's pretty much what's happened. Didn't see that coming. Like I said, FRUSTRATED.

I don't know if my sister is coming from Japan now. Feel sad. Especially since my other sister spent alot of money to come from Utah to visit her, and me too. She'll miss the shower too. Anyway, it is really hard when she's so far away and I can't get ahold of her. I will hope for the best.

Going to put a smile on my face and fake till I make it. Keep the mood and the food real.........

    What do they say? It is always darkest before the dawn? Maybe that is how therapy works. Sorry about your sister, perhaps she will still come. I am excited for your shower. I know it will be awesome. As for the 15 pounds, I feel your pain. You can get it off!! I would like to drop 15 of my 39 pound gain. Your daughter and I might come out of this with HUGE babies. Yay for drugs.

    I am with you. I shall fake it til I make it!

    Hey. Glad you said all this. Don't know if it makes you feel any better, but from the outside, saying this stuff out loud means you're dealing with it.

    Wish I had some wisecrack to make you chuckle, but I got bupkis. So, I'll just say faking it till you make it sounds like a pretty solid plan to me.

    Not all progress is linear and not all progress is directly tied to the scale. Being in therapy is tough sledding. It's dealing face to face with the crap that made us use (insert whatever) in the first place.

    Oh my dear friend, I didn't mean to send you into hyperventilations!

    You know I am the same way I start being a hermit when I just don't want to deal with myself. I think Roxie had a great idea. Really though even just hanging with the family helps and you have still been doing that. As for the creeping lbs I think it's good you are realizing why they have come back on. But you know how to get them back off so just keep faking it till you make it like you said. Hang in there my friend *big hugs*.

    We have all been there or are there right now! In 2 months, I packed on 20 lbs. It's easy to do, but the greatest glory is in keeping going to you get it right. It's no coincidence my quote of the week is, "Sometimes you have to fight a battle more than once to win it." I'm with you, girlie!

Contentment at last

Oh my goodness!!  I can't beleive how long it's been since I haave posted here.  So maybe things have changed.  The month I moved in with my son and daughter in law, a friend from high school asked if I wanted to be a "Granny Nanny" for her 86 year old mother.  It would mean moving back to my home town and living with the woman.  I didn't hesitate.  I had a good feeling about it from the start, so I went for it.  So, as of the first of October I have been residing in a cozy little home in Orem, UT.  The woman is just a sweetheart.  So easy to please and I feel so comfortable.  The pay is great too.  I like living with someone and it has just been a win/win.  I love my surroundings.  I love the mountains, the memories, being around my extended family.  My sister lives here, as does my aunt, a ton of cousins on both sides of the family.  Of course the downside is I am away from my kids and my grandkids.  I m...

A Traditionally Built Woman

I am listening to the latest No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency books. Blue Shoes and Happiness. They are sweet simple stories about a woman in Botswana Africa. She is a "traditionally built" woman. This means of course that she is heavy. I have never seen the show on HBO, but I love the books. In this book she decides to go on a diet. All her litle "insights" about going on a diet are cute....and so true. My favorite is how it's human nature that when you decide to restict ANYTHING you always end up wanting more of it. How she thought that was funny, until she herself was on a diet, now not so funny. How she gets crabby when she's hungry. I could so relate and it made me smile. People, we are more alike then we are different. The book is written by a white man, which I think is great. See, more alike then we are different. I have my grandkids birthday party today. My daughter, "C," is doing 2 kids in one party. They are still young enough that they don...
