I'm sorry you are hurting. I find so much comfort in taking a shower. I can't imagine it being painful. I hope the pain subsides soon and you are able to enjoy the rest of your day.

I've been feeling run down and achy the past few days. I've taken on a number of painting projects around my house and my body always seems to react after a while of inhaling paint fumes. I'm keeping everything well ventilated, but I am quite sensitive to the chemicals. I have so much more to paint, but I am going to take a break for a few days to recover.
I've been keeping up with my exercise and eating well. I hope to push through and keep it up even though my energy feels low this week. I know I'll get back into a rut if I allow myself to slow down while I am feeling sluggish. Hopefully the exercise will help get me back to good. I'm drinking a lot of extra water too to help flush out the chemicals. How is everyone else doing? I am wishing you all health in every aspect. |

I feel for all people with nerve and other types of stubborn persistent pain. I always wish there was a good remedy. I offer hugs, if that is at all helpful. My husband has peripheral neuropathy and experiences pain from that.

I am starting a new "lifestyle" today. (Again.)
Low carb with intermittent fasting,, if I can do it. With all of the extra stress in my life, I have had to take Seroquel. I am gaining weight on it. I have to go in the other direction with weight or my clothes will not fit! I had started walking and then injured my foot approx 10 days ago. It is very painful. I have to use a crutch if/when I go outside of the house. I see Ortho tomorrow. we'll see. I think it's plantars fasciitis; if so, it will take a long time to heal. My psoriatic arthritis inflames many tendons throughout the body. I also have tennis elbow and some condition in my shoulder I am trying to do the best I can manage with diet for now. __________________ May we each fully claim the courage to live from our hearts, to allow Love, Faith and Hope to enLighten our paths. |

WC, that's a lot to deal with physically. I'm sorry you are in pain. It also stinks the meds are affecting your weight. I was also going in the wrong direction, but managed to turn it around. We're here for you. Thank you for sharing the start of your journey with us!

I weighed in today and I only lost .2 of a pound. I wish I had met my weekly goal, but I am grateful I was able to maintain what I've already lost.
I feel much better after a day away from the paint. I pushed through the circuit training yesterday and then got some extra exercise in during a trip to the pool. I woke up feeling mostly normal and the swelling in my face is gone. My brother is battling cancer and he hasn't been able to be as active as he normally is lately. Instead, he has been keeping up with my journey and supporting me along the way. I will see him this weekend for the first time in months. It will be great to give him a hug and thank him in person for all of the encouragement he has offered while I struggled to get things under control again. He has also been a huge support while I came to grips with the fact I have something wrong mentally. I am so fortunate to have him in my life. I have been supporting him while he deals with his cancer diagnosis and it has been wonderful to grow closer during what has been the worst times of both of our lives. Silver linings help with the acceptance of everything. |

0.2 lbs down is a loss, in my book. Not just maintenance. I have found that other factors contribute to lower losses in some weeks, and bigger ones in others. |

I did not honor my goals yesterday.
Just kept too busy. I need to have some food prepared ahead of time. I am trying again today. __________________ May we each fully claim the courage to live from our hearts, to allow Love, Faith and Hope to enLighten our paths. |

You and WC are right. It is a tiny loss, but still a loss. I am grateful and definitely not discouraged. The last few pounds always seem to be the hardest. |

I'm in a lot of fibro pain today, despite doing very little (apart from going to the shop to by coke)
today is one of those days where I realise how badly I handle everything (my fibro, my BP, all my illnesses) I litirally have to sit and do nothing to be in agony |

I fell off the low carb wagon again. I’m so frustrated with myself. I just give in to the cravings no matter what. And for some reason I seem to be hungry all. The. Time. I know it’s not my meds because nothing has changed and I didn’t have the hunger a year ago. I don’t know what the deal is. I don’t know how much I weigh because I can’t face the number on the scale.
I’m ashamed to make an appt with the GI dr. The last time I went (2 years ago) he fat shamed me. He told me I was morbidly obese (I only weigh 220 pounds) and when I told him I gained weight from meds he questioned me about my lifestyle. I admitted that I didn’t exercise much and he said so it’s not all meds, some of it’s you I’m afraid a new doctor will be the same way. But I’m having the pain in my stomach again and I need to find out what it is. When it first happened I had an ultrasound done on my liver and gallbladder and they are both healthy. My primary care dr suspected an ulcer but since then I’ve been through two rounds of antibiotics to get rid of the h. Pylori bacteria and I’m still having pain. In better news I am trying to take control of my weight. I ate well today and went to the gym. I biked for 35 minutes (had to get to six miles lol). I’m proud of myself today. That’s all that matters. __________________ Of course it is happening inside your head. But why on earth should that mean that it is not real? -Albus Dumbledore That’s life.

Just wanted to bring this up .... muscle weighs more than fat so it’s likely you did lose fat but gained muscle so just going by weight is really inaccurate it. I go by how my clothes fit, I do have to avoid seeing numbers as that triggers my ed. Congrads on sticking to your weight loss journey. I’m glad you and your brother can lean on each other. What a huge relief ! __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |
