Again with the flip flopping *edit*

I’m frustrated yet again. I’m up a pound or so from last week, this is pretty much how it always goes with me, I lose 20ish and it stops.

And then I quit.

I’ve got to figure out what it is that does this…my goal for the week is to not touch my extra 35 or my activity points if I can help it at all…and I say that not because I know I can’t but that if I’m ACTUALLY hungry I can’t see a point in starving myself. But I need to pay attention to whether I’m hungry or not when I decide that.

I’m going to up my exercise to see if that helps too…

I’d say cut carbs back but I really never ate many to begin with. I’m just not a carb craver. I refuse to go 100% without, that would be ignorant. I’ve already gone back to whole grains…

I need to seriously make sure I’m getting enough water for ME. 8 glasses isn’t enough for me, esp being on my meds.

Oh yeah. Quitting smoking would do wonders for me as well @@ *sigh*

On a more positive note for me…just so I don’t get myself too depressed, I DID have to tighten my work belt this month.

So that means something.

I joined a challenge group on WW online, to lose 25 lbs by Christmas.

It’s a decent goal, as we set it 25 weeks before, so a pound a week.

But the way my body is doing makes it aggravating.

I need to work on positive thinking. I honestly believe in it, an in the last several years have found myself moving further and further away from it. I do believe that it plays more than just a part in motivating or preventing depression over it…I’ve always believed that you cause a good amount of the things that happen in your life by how you feel about them.

So many changes…I’ve fallen so far from where I once was with that. Bleh.

I’m just bothered by a lot recently. So much I don’t even want to write about right now.

One thing at a time I guess.

Edit:
I just happened to wonder…could the birth control they put me on be hindering my weight loss? I started the up and down cycle round about the same time I started on the pill…

ugh and another month still until I go back 🙁

Good luck! Weight can be so frustrating!! I’m worried right now that if I quit smoking I’m going to gain a million pounds! *SIGH*

birth control can HUGELY impact weight. anything that affects your hormones can. What pill are you on?

It’s possible the pill is interfering with normal weight loss. Check with your doctor, maybe. With sympathy…

RYN: I know that some friends of mine w/PCOS got prescribed provera to jumpstart periods. you could always ask about it.

That’s always happened to me too. You lose a lot then you plateau. But don’t get discouraged! You just gotta keep at it!

I know that I should probably quit smoking myself. But like I tell my friends, “I only smoke so that I won’t kill you.”
