I actually had a good breakfast this morning. I had a strawberry smoothie. As most of you know, I have been having a very hard time with eating lately. Right now I'm having to take it hour by hour. I try to eat every three hours so right now I'm watching the clock until the next time I get to eat. It is so hard. I'm on a medication that has an appetite stimulant in it. I'm on this medication due to shingles. It is starting to work so I'm not in so much pain. I actually went to church last night for the first time in a month, so I am feeling better. My goal for today is to walk on the treadmill for 30 minutes. I know it's going to be hard because I haven't worked out in about a month and a half. According to my scale at home I weight 314.6. According to the scale at the doctor's I weight 320 lbs. I'm going to go by my scale at home. God, I wish this was easier. I think this is a battle that will last my whole life. I just know I never want to go back to when I weighed almost 400 lbs. That was the hardest time in my life. Anyway, I hope each and every one of you have a great diet day! We can do this!!!

Take Care, Jena

I sympathize with the whole medication sitituation. I am taking meds that make you eat too. I am going on my 4th week of them, I had gained 2 lbs but according to the scale yesterday that 2 is gone so it must have been water weight. I am just happy to be maintaining right now.


Good for you for being strong this morning. Good luck with the rest of the day.

That's great, Jena... congratulations! Looking at how far you've already come, I know you'll be successful.

BTW, DEFINITELY use your scale rather than the doctors, LOL!

Congrats!!! You're doing so great. I'm glad to hear that you're feeling better too. Don't you just LOVE the doctors office scales?? LOL You're feeling all good and then you get there and it weighs you at least 5-10 pounds more than your own scale? They have got to be plotting against us or something...hahaha. Anyway, good luck with the treadmill today.
