My Own 600-Pound Life

So things have been crazy around me.  Between life, weight loss, work and emotions, everything seems to be stretching me a little thin.  I just went to the doctor yesterday and was put on a medicine that will hopefully help with some of the problems, but after I did that, I found out that the weight loss supplement I was hoping to be put on may have some serioud interactions and I may not be able to take the medicine!  I have to stay on the medicine that was prescribed to me yesterday, so the weight loss supplement will be the one to take the fall if I have to chose one over the other.

This has all put me into a blur of life right now.  Everything seems to be happening and I'm actively participating in it all, but I don't know if any of it is making sense right now.  I feel like I'm just going through the motions and trying to keep all parts of my life in balance.  Now, don't get me wrong - I've made the choices I've made and they are mine to deal with.  It's just it seems a little stressful at some points.

My whole point in mentioning this is, in the middle of it all, I still have to watch my weight loss journey.  I'm doing good - another 6.6 pounds down this week, which brings me to 22.2.  I'm not disappointed with it at all, but I think my point here is that we just have to keep on with our weight loss journeys.  No matter what is going on around us - we have to keep ourselves moving towards being a lower weight and healthier.  I've had so much problem with this in the past.  When things get hard, you want to stop your weight loss journey because, if you're like me, you used to cling to food for comfort.  It is almost like a "friend".  We each have to learn how to deal with those things and keep strong on our programs or we will never get to our goals.

If I run the numbers, I've almost lost 6% of the total amount I have to lose.  That's amazing for two weeks.  But if I had stopped and decided that I need that comfort in my life via my tummy, I might be back up a few pounds.  Just keep on moving towards the goal.  It may be hard, it may not be fun, but we aren't doing this for fun.  We are doing this because we have gotten to a place in our lives where we realize that being the size we are is not worth it and we have to do something about that.

Stay strong.  Stay vigilant.  You can do this.
