Six pounds lost, I feel wonderful! I feel like I have finally got control over myself and my eating. My mental state is much better and I am finally feeling my usual level of indifference again. The challenges that I face are not over but at least I feel that the sun is finally shining for me again.

This has been a bad week, I was my own worst enemy this week. I have been hyperactive and when I am like that I bake so there have been sweet treats in the house all week and I have indulged myself of a few, the sad part I don't even think its been the sweet that have packed on the pounds, but the savory foods I have been eating. I have have eaten more of the salty than the sweet. I also have been experiencing some higher than normal pain levels so exercise has been limited, I only got two walks in this week and my doc hasn't cleared me for lifting yet so my kettlebell is collecting dust at the moment.

Sometimes when I come here and type this all up I feel like I am making excuses, but this is 100% the truth. I am not trying to make excuses for myself I am just being honest about what happened. I am just so frustrated.

This week was a medium week, I went to see my shrink about the depression I have been experiencing and he advised that these lows will happen with my conditions and prescribed something new. As for the emotional eating he warned me that some of the meds I take will cause an increase in my appetite but that once the depression clears I will have my usual self-control returning so I shouldn't worry.

I am happy to report that I am starting to feel better mentally, it is still an uphill battle as it won't go away overnight. Physically on the other hand this week has been a different story my fibro had been giving me fits, so I kinda can't win for losing. So between trying to balance emotional eating and not getting much in for exercise this week, I am not surprised at the gain.

I am trying to remember to log my food so I can try to stay within my calorie limits for the day, but I am finding hard to log the homemade food I cook and I sometimes just forget to log my food, I downloaded the app so hopefully this week will be better for that.

Again I just want to thank everyone who has supported me. I love coming to this site and reading your comments and finding the support I need.

I know its been a couple of weeks, but I haven't been in a good place so the whole idea of coming here and logging my failures just wasn't on the top of my list.

I am off of my diet because it is just not feasible to my financial situation. Plus I am still battling a very deep depression that has pushed into emotional eating. Honestly I feel like all I want to do right now is eat. I will finally get to see my doctor on Monday so hopefully he will be able to help me with this.

I have been getting some exercise at least which is why I think the numbers are not as high as they could be, so at least there is that.

A loss, I am shocked. With how this week has been, and this damn depression I am dealing with. The highlight of the week was having surgery to help my carpal tunnel so I am down to being one handed for the next couple of weeks, but the good news is I can now take all of my meds again so hopefully I won't be in so much pain and can start doing some walking again.
