Hugs to you dear friend...we are all here to support and encourage each other. May is a totally bummer month for me. I find that when I blog it's therapeutic for me and a heck of a lot cheaper than a shrink! I also find that when I eat REAL food I don't have the cravings that processed foods seem to give you. I'd really check into your hormones and make sure you keep them balanced. A procedure such as you've had can wreck havoc which is most likely a big cause of weight gain. Suzanne Somers has some faboulous books on hormones and I'm reading her latest one called Breakout...her voice against cancer and the profit the doctors make on it...simply eye popping! Also another GREAT doctor is Christiane Northrup...she has some terrific books on women and I love her down to earth easily understandable advise. Check out these helps...I bet you will feel so much better when you have a better understanding of how your body works and how you can help support it to living your most healthy life! Remember I'm only a Spark page away!

I know how you feel JG, I have had a pretty rough time lately also and been pretty depressed. I've been feeling alone, heading toward bankruptcy, with concentration problems, no vocation, feeling like I'm making no progress and problems that have to do with my father...but you know what, we have to climb out of that 'dark pit' that we feel we've fallen into. There is always sun after a storm, gotta keep trying as that is the only way. I've found talking to people and figuring out how to deal with these challenges helps. Keep strong it will pass! V. PS. I've got an appointment with a doctor (that I had to wait a month for) this coming week, so for peace of mind I will ask to get screened for diabetes. Report Inappropriate Comment |

JG ... my thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope you can find the strength to take control of your body and your health .. eating comfort food is not the answer and will not mask the pain of the things you are going through. There are several articles here on Sparkpeople that can give you ideas regarding medication and weight gain. Unfortunately, some things cannot be changed and we have to be strong and accept the situation .. however, we can change our eating habits you just have to realize that you are worth it .. you are special. Coming here to Sparkpeople seeking encouragement, motivation, support and friendship is the right thing to do. Your DH may not understand your eating problems because he has to be dealing with his own health issues. Take it one day at a time .. log your food, stay within your calorie range, giver yourself a treat from time to time within moderation ...do low intensity exercise ...all these things will help you to feel better about you and then you can deal with the other situations at hand. Hang in there ... we are here for you. Comment edited on: 1/25/2010 9:30:56 PM Report Inappropriate Comment |

I hope you are feeling better soon. Forget everything except getting better, your son joining the marines and your dog. I threw a fit when my son had decided to go to Iraq a a civilian worker. We actually started a business to give him steady employment at the time. That is really scary. Can anything be done for your sick dog? That is another sad thing to have happen. Just keep telling yourself that you are a great lady no matter what the scale says. And you are. Report Inappropriate Comment |

Hi there, I totally get where you are with little good news. Got lots going on here too, from finances to health to kids, etc.! You are not alone there! I also find that once my husband leaves for work, I go into chocolate cravings. He works away from home anywhere from 12-20 days at a time. It's been very stressful. I have tried to find positives, actually have found them, but it's hard to keep them up front. I am changing my thinking continually from 'diet' no-no's to healthy choices and nothing is a no-no. The freedom of not having anything restricted is permitting me to focus on the fact that since I have a choice, perhaps I should make a more healthy one. (i.e. grab the little carrots instead of the chips) I also have issues with medications *steroids, etc. that hold the water and encourage the appetite. Again, I am being more aware of true hunger and appetite and taking advantage of that awareness to make a choice. Sometimes I just have a glass of water then see how I feel. Sometimes, I eat half a stalk of celery, lol, or drink a big glass of chocolate skim milk. If you think in terms of the lowest calorie things, you can actually have quite a lot of food. When my appetite is out of control, I grab all the low-cal stuff and satisfy my urge to chew. Having a lot of weight to lose and losing it so dreadfully slowly is frustrating when I look at 3/4 weeks to lose 2 lbs. I have to step back and look at the more important things like running the nutrition report and seeing how well I am feeding my body, thinking of the total 18.5 lbs. I've lost so far, paying attention to how differently my clothes are fitting. I put on a top recently that was really tight to the point that I had stopped wearing it and it fit! I was so excited. It was a little victory, but it really helped with my attitude & accomplishment list. I really pray that you get plugged into the group here on SP. Be prepared and grab your low-cal, healthy "wanna eat" foods! God bless you!

I know too well how difficult it is to get out of that negative mindset when you have SOOOOO many things to deal with! Like "they" say, when it rains, it pours. But go ahead & vent away! Better to get it OUT than try to "stuff" it. Something I learned in eating disorder counseling - about how we "stuff" our feelings rather than expressing them! Keep up the good work & God bless you!

yeah....i am wearing a dress i hadn't worn in quite a while... i am ready to go out to eat this Thanksgiving.. a nice vegan feast...... (not raw though obviously)...
well.....i am not as happy about being able to fit into my old clothes again as you might think from the title of the blog... Why? these are my "fat clothes"
wonderful! (errr..sarcasm)
and worse..my husband recently joined Sparkpeople.com and i snuffed out his spark..... getting him to let us have pizza....then ice cream.....then buying a party tray of meat and cheese for him to share with the boys ...when...well...he didn't....
he had been resisting homemade baked goods at work..... he doesn't get that here.... (our oven is broken just the range works)
and then...caves when my cravings take over......
i worry every night that he might die from being overweight and then i do this??? does that make any sense???
i love him... why do i always seem to hurt him........
i mean yes..he can still choose not to eat something...but it is a lot harder when i want it too....
well.......Happy Thanksgiving to all (no sarcasm there)
i am not going to make any bold promises here about how i am going to change...because obviously i need to work on my mind first...and then my weight will follow....
i do a great yoga video by Suzanne Deason called Yoga Conditioning for Weight Loss...and she says.....that being overweight is an imbalance between body, mind, and spirit.....
so i think i will work on learning to love me before i make any wild changes......
people wonder why i don't love myself..... that one is easy....... if your own mother doesn't love you......who will? and how do i know she doesn't love me? her own words and actions... she once said..when i asked if we could be friends now that i was an adult..."you are scum, i will never be your friend, living off the government."
well i have to go wake up the rest of the family now....
sorry for my little rant....

My friend .. you need to stop blaming yourself .. your DH must make his own choices. As for your mother, she obviously has her own issues ... you need to just start taking care of you. You are worth it and you deserve it ..

I agree JG--- you are going to do the right thing get to know you and love the you -you are....forget what your birth mother has said to you she is nothing but the woman that bore you... Sorry if this hurts but so true... If she was a carring woman she would never have said those things about you... You just have to know you are a beautiful woman and need to take care of you ..and yes love you. About your hubby --maybe you have such self doubt about yourself that you want the one you love with you all the way.. so again stop this and love yourself then you can go forward.. best of luck. Jo

Happy Thanksgiving ! You need to love you first, and want to be healthy for you. Your husband will have to make his own healthy decisions for him. Enjoy your meal

JG, You need to put yourself first, forget about what your mother says. I know that is hard to do, but you have a loving husband and friends. Maybe you and he can sit down and talk about your health? Set some small goals at first. V. Report Inappropriate Comment |
