Hello all, Well I am back from Tenn. That turned out to be horrible for us. We came home 3 days early.As for losing weight, I've gained. No-ones fault but my own. I am just so tired of it all. I try to exercise and my knee that had surgery starts hurting or my back, most of all I get so out of breath. As for eating, I never realized that my intake of carbs was so high everyday, but it is astranomical. I've been having terrible problems with this dumping syndrome I have from having my gallbladder out over a year ago. I have tried the Dr.s way now I am waiting on some supplements to get here that I orered from my vitamin store.I'm going to try my own stuff. I was trying to cut back on one of the meds I take for my anxiety/panic disorder and was wakened this morning by horrible anxiety, my skin was crawling, heart leaping and tremors. To make a long story short I went back on my usual dosage. I took some meds at 5:00 a.m. and went back to bed about an hour later and slept until after 11:00. Got ready and my husband and I went down to the country where our kids and grandkids were to go to the pumkin patch that some friends from church have. I ran through a feild flying a kite, jumped on a hay wagon and went for a ride to where the pumkins were. We had a wennie roast. Came home and took some stuff out of the bed of my new Sport Trac that my husband bought me ( didn't know if I had told you all that or not). Honestly I just feel blue and tired about losing or working on losing weight. I have Dr. Phils book just laying on my night stand. I don't know , maybe when I get my body to working right I will have a diferent attitude. Am I copping out, fooling myself, deseaving c/s denile.....what do you think??? Just lazy ???? Enough boo-hooing, your probably about ready to throw up Ha! Bye for now. thanks for letting me just vent and blow off some steam. I do want your input. Thanks, Debbie

(Okay you asked for input, and here it is:)
I know it can be a pain to be on a lot of medications.

Oh, I'm sorry about your foot.

(((Debbie))), I am pretty sure we've all felt what you're feeling. That's the wonder of being human: we all go through the same stuff. Please don't feel bad for posting that you need a boost. That's what we're here for.
You've got to know that this down period isn't permanent, and that it WILL pass. Do whatever you can to make that happen, whether it's keeping up the exercise even though you don't want to...making good food choices even if the bad one may be tempting you so strongly...turning a negative thought into a positive, etc. Handle each moment as it comes!
You sound like you had a WONDERFUL day with the kids & grandkids! What could feel better than flying a kite, except if it were followed by a hay ride and some weenies!!! You'll be alright...and I have faith that you won't give up on yourself losing weight!!
Big hugs,
Roni :o)

I think Karen said everything pretty well, so I'm just sending a hug along.
Hugs,
I believe we've all been down at least once on our road to weight loss. It took me many years and many down times to realize that this is what I want, so this is what I'm going to do.
I read an article on iVillage about journaling. It's hard to get started, but once you do, you can hardly live without it. You have to get up every morning and take a long hard look at yourself and decide what you want. Once you do, you'll have it made. As someone said in another post, it's not WILLPOWER, it's WANTPOWER. I like that one. :)
Keep your head up and know that we're all here for you.
