Sandy701's Journal, 05 May 15

Wow, over 200 days since my last entry.

Typical story here. Life events got the better of me, WOE and WOL not the first priority. First additional pounds ignored, more added on to those, and even more onto those. Clothes don't fit, up one size, then another.

Finally sick and tired enough to give myself a slap upside the head and a stern talking-to. I am better than this, I KNOW better than this, time to get moving. I do not want to stay where I am. I am closer to 200 pounds than I am to my goal weight and that's a very, very scary place to be for me.

DH's work schedule will take him out of town for chunks of time, periodically throughout the summer, so this will actually be a good time for me to re-focus. Our new puppy, now 8-months-old, appears to be slowly getting past the series of medical problems that have hit him, one after the other, for the entire time we've had him (since October)! All these factors means more time to concentrate on what I need to reclaim my weight loss efforts.

I've learned, or re-learned, many lessons throughout this time. Here are a couple.
1.) I do NOT do well when tired!!!!
2.) Yes, I OUGHT to be able to eat more; no, life is NOT fair;
DEAL with it!
3.) Despite feeling like a victim of circumstances, eating doesn't
change that. Only I can make myself a victim, circumstances can't.

Am thrilled to see your journal. I've wondered how you made out. As you can see a lot of our old Buddies are no longer with us. I hope they've reached their goals and have moved on. So, back to your journal - Thank you for sharing your "lessons learned". Those lessons hit home with me. You certainly have a way with words. BTW - 30 pounds must be the magic number because that is what I gained too :(

Thanks everyone...JennBuck61, izzypup68, Buffy, and Gwen. I'm hoping that if I go back to writing and being accountable on this site that it will help me stay on the path. I'm still amazed by how many pounds my body sucked up, even on low carb! Or more likely, I'm just deluding myself as to how many liberties I took.
