My weight fluctuates all the time. It can be very frustrating, but that's just how it is. I'm going to start tracking again soon too. Stick with it butterfly xoxo
 
Hi everyone,

Thanks for stopping by. I've been trying. I was 286 not long ago but back at 291. I thought those 3.3 lbs gained in 3 days would be gone but I’ve seem to put more weight back on. I’ve been kind of depressed and overeating. I will start tracking what I eat again tomorrow.
 
Okay, well tomorrow came and went and I never posted. I'll post a food log tonight, and I plan on exercising too. In the mean time, I had to share this funny Adele Hello parody about diet and exercise:

 
Thanks Stacy!

Just posting an update. Things haven’t been going so well, the more I try to eat less the more I want to self-harm. Eating has been a coping mechanism for me. I ate an entire bag of kettlecorn yesterday so I wouldn’t self harm. I need to try to find something healthy to replace these habits. I haven’t painted much lately, I’m going to try to get back into that.
 
Oh Butterfly please don't self-harm. Instead of drastically reducing your food quantities try to concentrate on eating good quality healthy food. Think of it as nurturing your body. Your body deserves to be treated well. You deserve to be treated well. Get some help, sweetie if you are having trouble coping. I did years ago & it really helped. Sending you lots and lots of love, xoxo Cate.
 
Thank you both. I have a therapist.

Update- Had a weigh in at my cardiologist. My last appointment was in August and since then I've only lost 4 pounds. I'm doing all this work, trying so hard, but not getting the results I want. I know I need to improve but I was hoping for a little more weight loss. I'm getting back into exercising, I feel off track there for a little while. And I'm going to log my food today.

Eh, we all get off track every once in a while. I got off track last week as a matter of fact. But, I bounced back and got my head right. You will too, I'm sure of it. Seems like you already have.
 
I think adding some exercise will help a lot. It might even help your urges to self harm. Not a guarantee, but I had a friend in high school who managed to quit cutting by going on a run instead.
 
Hi everyone,

I'm back! Thank you all for your suggestions and for checking in. I haven't been doing very well. First I ended up with a urinary tract infection and was achy napping for a few hours daily. Finally seems to be gone. My mental health isn't that great lately. I'm depressed and I've been having panic attacks almost every day. The good news is I haven't self harmed! And I weighed myself yesterday, my weight is about the same as is it was last time I posted. At least I haven't gained. Psychiatrist changed some meds and I'm more lightheaded so I'm worried how that's going to work as far as exercise goes. But I'll lift weights and try to eat healthy and hope for the best. All I can do I guess.
