Stress level high....uncertainty at my job. I constantly stress about work and my income. Not helping with my weight loss I know. I don't want to start a new career at 50, but I may not have a choice. I am trying to focus on the positive and not dwell on those things that are out of my control.
Got lab work done last week and the results were not great. My A1C is elevated...pre-diabetes. I have a strong family history of diabetes, so with my weight like it is, this is not too surprising. I also had an MRI done on my knee this week and am waiting on the results. Hopefully nothing major and I can get the pain under control so I can get on some sort of activity/walking regimen. Right now I am doing upper body exercises with 5 pound weights. I do not want to be diabetic, so I need to succeed at my efforts to lose weight.
Okay, enough venting. The good news is I have not had a food binge all month. I am handling the stress without food! Yay!! One day at a time and I will succeed.

Hang in there. My blood sugar was at pre-diabetic levels before I lost weight, so sticking to your weight loss journey can help. Avoiding processed carbs and sugars should also help a lot. Wishing you success!
