Starting over - Again 225 lbs

[lenaislosingit-blog]

Ok so I'm not dead but yes I have been MIA.

So for while now I've been on the Depo shot and the two first ones I got from Planned Parenthood and the last one I got from Sutter. Anyhow, after the last one all went sideways, my "lady week" has not stopped for now nearly three months. I'm emotional (more than normal) and it's keeping me and my hubby from you-know-what. I'm told its because I'm also nursing at the same time but why wasn't it upside down from the beginning? Are there different Depo shots? This has also messed me up with my diet and I'm afraid to check the scale.

I have broken my own heart again...

I'm back up to 221.5 lbs and have crashed my diet. 😫 I don't want to make excuses but I am anyway. Always. I have no control over my cravings while under stress and most things stress me out. I used to get panic attacks just because I needed to make a phone call to someone "outside my circle" or because I remember a memory as embarrassing. I'm really good at hiding this to the world but it takes a toll on me since I'm coping with food... However, it's not the only thing that helps me. Being creative works even better than food BUT I have a "mental block" right now... Called hubby. Yes, my brain has created a block using my husband. For some reason, I can't do things with him in the house. He has never told me to not do my creative things or implied I'm not "allowed". So why am I doing this to my self? It's literary as if I stop my self from doing what I love... And it's STRESSING ME OUT! So I eat...😑

Why I want to lose weight.

No specific order, just to remind my self.

1. Have more energy. I sleep all night and half the day with my kids around me watching tv or movies. I only get up because they need lunch or I need to do other chores. I want to have the energy to do things with them.

2. Feel ok in my own skin, so I can go with my kids to the park or the pool. At the moment we don’t go anywhere because of me. My kids have grown up pretty much indoors because I’m too embarrassed to go outside.

3. To be healthy. Heart health is something I need to take very seriously.

4. To feel sexy. I feel very uncomfortable being naked in front of my husband. That’s a relationship killer right there…

5. To wear clothing I like. Right now i look like a grandma. Big no no.

I have more reasons but these are the biggest ones.

Monday Weigh-in

01-07-2019. 214.5 lbs

I know I'm late but I'm in a "slump". I've not been eating well and I've gained since my low of 211 lbs. I just feel blah! I just have a really tough time getting back to eating healthy. That's what you get when you cope (or treat your anxiety) by eating bad your entire life and all of a sudden you can't do that anymore...

[lenaislosingit-blog]

Why can't I be consistent?

I just had the best breakfast ever!

2 big perfectly ripe bananas and 2 super sweet navel oranges. It was so good I just had to share. I'm still smiling. Hope your morning is just as good or even better. 💕

Hey guys! As a writer myself, it’s hard to have a lot of resources for writing in one place. That’s why I decided to create this masterpost, and maybe make more if I find future resources. I hope you like it, and expect to see more masterposts like this in the future!
