New Shorts
I got a new pair of shorts today. It's been in the 80's for the most part (although it's going to be "cold" tonight- 65 degrees) and I was at Ross today and got them. I feel great.. I used to wear a 28/30 and these shorts are size 20. I need to remember where I'm coming from when it comes to losing weight. I used to weigh a lot less than I weigh now (I got to 211 pounds... I'm 232 pounds today) but I should focus on where I'm coming from- I used to be 280, so I've lost about 50 pounds. It's been up and down for years... I'm going to try to get my act together and lose weight. I might call my psych this week and try to see her before my next appointment in February. I'm still mood swinging, and want to see what I can do about it. It has been going on for a while, so I'm thinking I might need a med change. I know I still need my Prozac, but maybe I can get another different mood stabilizer. I need to talk to her, so I am going to try and call tomorrow.
I see my new doctor on the 12th... I wish I could get something stronger than 800 mg of ibuprofen but I'm scared that he's going to think that I'm drug seeking. It's my first time there. I'm a bit dizzy so I'm going to go lie down.

First, enjoy that balmy weather, we in the great frozen north are starting to feel the full blast of winter. 65 is balmy for us now. Second, take it easy, you are being too hard on yourself. I have lost about 65 pounds but have gained some of it back, because I am on insulin now. You will be fine my friend. I walk a lot and since I got my winter boots out, I am going to be outdoors more than I am inside. Cold weather and all. We are having 4 degrees with a windchill factor of -4 degrees. Try to walk at least 30 minutes a day. That really helped me. Hugs
Enjoy the nice weather. How wonderful that you are down to a size 20. that\'s a big accomplishment. Enjoy that you lost the 50 lbs. and go from there. Many people weighed less and then gain. Just say I am here now and pick a goal as to what your next weight should be. don\'t make it too big like 50 lbs. try to get small goals and when you accomplish them you can reward yourself with a new outfit. so as you are losing maybe you can put some money away for the new outfit. LOL. I know that was recommended in something I read. Hopefully it will help both of us. I\'ve gone up a bit these past few days. Now My goal is to get below 165 again.. i\'m close but this way I can work on that. though in my mind i\'m also aiming for being 160 lbs. find ways to help keep on track. journal if you need to when you think you are doing well and feel good about it.. and journal when you are messing up look at what you did and ways to maybe change what you did.
