ya can't beat 8 lbs down. :) One key thing I am using is the word "later". During the cravings, I keep telling myself, I can have that "later". That I can have this "later". Everything "later". And
eventually that later will be never.
Ok so here's where I get real. I'd love for it to be all happy happy joy joy sunshine and rainbows up in here, but sadly, it can't be. Yes, I'm hanging tight to the eating, and overall, things are going well in my life, but I'm having so much trouble shaking some depression. I know that part of it goes along with the diet. It happens every time. When I'm dieting, I'm eating at home, not having social opportunities, and it just spirals, not having good adult interaction. But this is more than that. I don't even want to do social things right now. I cancelled a mom's night in at my house this weekend because I just couldn't deal with the anxiety of having people over (ya want honest, there, that's honest). And the worst part is, I can't figure out how to get out of this slump. I figure I'll give it a bit longer and then talk to my doctor, be proactive. It sure is getting to me though. It doesn't help that I'm lonely, though that's not anything new. I need to push myself
more right now to get out, but that's hard when dieting is just getting ramped up, and the weather is yucky right now.
I do think that this losing weight stuff will help some, and if I can get active more, that will help too. And I can not WAIT til March when I have my surgery. I know that will require some healing time but at least one of my problems will be taken care of.
Ok enough of my complaining, if you got this far, hey, you got this far, good for you! Next post will be more cheerful, I'll try to find a good happy news article for ya.
