Okay.. so after falling off the wagon I decided I needed to try something different maybe? I went to the store and got myself a cartoon of Diet. Mt. Dew... I've been told that it was just as bad but c'mon I had to try something.. I am so open for suggestions!!!
This time of year is so trying for me because of the weather it snows and I'm stuck inside.. the kids are home most everyday I think my kids have attended school about 6 days since before Christmas Break.. My husband takes our only car to work each day so I'm basicly home bound and at the mercy of others to take me places... it sucks! However in the weather we are having I wouldn't drive anyway >_> I'm too chicken!
I'm trying to do a new way of eating and I have cut back so much but it's still not enough so a few days ago I set on my blog a date that I would post pics of myself etc... got myself all amped to do this and then when it came time to post the photos of me, I made a million reasons not to take them.. sometimes I don't know whats wrong with me.. I can't focus and I can't discipline myself on eating I feel like such a failure... and omg... Sleeping is another thing.. that deserves it's own paragraph!
SLEEPING AHHHH.... I set up all hours of the night, I set and think about everything and I just can't make myself lay down and when I do lay down I find it's so incredibly hard to sleep. I know this has to stop but I don't know how to deal with it, I have even told my husband that I was thinking of taking some tylenol p.m. to make myself sleep... Maybe I should.. I don't know I've never been much on taking medicines for any reason I'm not against them I just don't really take a lot... Any suggestions?
So a little progress has been made but you guys I suck and I need so much more work and I'm trying to motivate myself to do it but sometimes it's not easy >_>... I did however make myself a doctors appointment for next Monday I have been having such pain in my feet and aching all over I'm going to see about getting some blood work done and maybe a fasting test for diabetes... I'm really getting worried that I might have that issue soon too...
OH and one more quick thing, My brothers girlfriend had made a suggestion for me to consider Lap Band Surgery.. What are your alls opinions on that... lemme know!!!
I promise I will write more tomorrow and try to get my nerve to post those pics!!
Thanks for not forgetting me you guys are GREAT!! **HUGS**
Here is a picture of my and my husband taken on December 28, 2010 @ his works Christmas Party... I think I have like three chins going in this one >_>
Until tomorrow!! *HUGS****

Welcome back! I'm glad to hear from you. It sounds like you had a wonderful holiday season!
For the weight loss stuff, it's okay if everything doesn't come together all at once. It's really, really hard to break habits - no matter how much we want to. I think that switching to Diet Mountain Dew is a step in the right direction. And all those steps will add up. Glad to hear that you're headed to the doctor. Maybe you can talk with him/her about the sleeping stuff too?
Take care!
OK, I had lap band surgery many years ago. I had some digestive issues that weren't related and then a reaction to some meds and they had to take it out. I LOVED it when I had it! But you have to commit to it like anything else. The trick is to find the "sweet spot" with the fills. Make sure there's someone who can do the fills near you because you might be going every 2 weeks until you find the right amount of fill. I went to Mexico for mine because my insurance wouldn't cover it and it was 1/2 the price there but from what I've heard most US docs have adjusted their prices to keep patients here. I had a wonderful experience in Mexico but it's obviously not for everyone. Of the 5 of us there at the same time, no one is still using the band so it's really not as easy as putting it in and then losing weight and there ARE ways to cheat on it.
BTW, my holiday eat fest has become an after holiday eat fest so don't be hard on yourself :(
Thank you all for the awesome comments.. I'm really glad to hear from you ^_^ @Maude, thanks for making me feel less horrible about the Mt. Dew *HUGS* @PlumpNotFat I was hoping someone would read this that had knowledge about the band and things.. thanks so much.. I don't have any insurance so i'm kind of thinking the lap band wouldn't be and option but I do know there are some programs around here that offer it.... to severly obese people and I think I fit that category... not sure! *hugs* To you too!
Buck up, lil camper! I gave you an award: http://fat-angry-blog.blogspot.com/2011/01/i-won-award.html
Hi Gina! Glad that you're back! I can't give advcie on weight-loss surgery as I don't have any experience with it personally but many people have had great success on it so don't rule it out or anything :)
As far as taking sleep-aids go, every once in awhile, it's fine but you don't want to get in a habit of taking them for a couple reasons. For one, you could become dependent on them. For two, you aren't really getting the most restful sleep while you're on them. Have you ever taken a Psych class? They talk about it in there. It's something about your brain not going through the full-cycle when you're doped up. It's for the same reason that they tell people not to drink alcohol before sleeping. Anyways, I searched for an article on how to get better rest and I found an article from The Mayo Clinic, so you know it's good ;) http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/sleep/HQ01387
Thanks Joy! I went and read it all really good tips! They make sense too! I really need to get a routine going I think that would work wonders for me!! Thanks so much!
