I was feeling so good about myself. Doing what I wanted when I wanted and how I wanted to do it. It seems that all of a sudden, I became lazy without even realizing what I was doing to myself. I became more and more unhealthy and made a monster out of myself. :eek:
Now I am stuck in a rut. Bigger than I could ever imagine. I have to lose weight before my daughter ends up motherless, and my fiance single. :(
I am on a journey, a quest to healthiness...
I have to eat healthy but by doctors orders cannot eat any green leafy vegetables and stay away from Vitamin K completely. I must omit fatty foods and all fast foods entirely. I must limit my salt intake dramatically. This is where I find myself hiding where no one else can see me. :confused: Somewhere in the back of my mind I thought that if no one sees me eating then the food will not do anything... HAA! Where does this thought come from? I think of myself as a fairly inteligent person. Yet I make the wrong decision day after day.
And so I find myself here. This is the one place where I have made friends, and met great people. (and maybe an enemy or two, which I will try and fix later).
I hope that you will welcome me back and push me to get back on track. I NEED HELP. I admit I can not do it on my own. I have gained ALL of my weight back. I am a complete UNHEALTHY MESS...:( :( :(
I have been in and out of the hospitol so many times this year, and am so sick of it.
I think coming back will help me, but I am affraid I dont have the time to be on here as I was b4. my schedule is pretty tight for the most part.
I am now a
School Bus Driver/Girl Scout Leader/Head Room Parent/Puppy Trainer/Housewife/Mom :eek:

I'm tired as hell, but also sick of feeling sick and weak.

The forum is different. I will be looking around... checking it out... But I will not be up to date on everything as I once was so bare with me.
I can not wait to start challenges again. I think those helped me the most.

Ok, I am off to explore. Wow, I can't believe I came back.....
 
welcome back...

I'm curious to know why you have to avoid potassium? I've read a lot of things recently that it's helpful for lowering high blood pressure and for remving the plaque that clogs arteries...

Kick off your shoes, put your feet up andmake yourself comfortable...
 
I am on blood thinners due to Deep Veinous Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism (large amounts of blood clots in leg which have traveled through my heart and into my lungs). (prob from birth control)
Vitamin K helps your body to make clots... It will defeat the purpose of my meds.
The greener the veggie the more Vit K it has...
I love spinach... but definately have to stay away from it..
broccoli too... I MISS IT!:(

Thanks Korri, glad to see you too! ;)

Today, my boring diet has begun...

2 cups coffee (gotta quit!) (one @ Breakfast one @ lunch)
golden ghrams w skim milk (Breakfast)
2 egg whites (lunch)
1 bottle of water

I think I weigh 210 lbs..... :( :( :( :( :(
Last December I was around 175
I would love to be 160 lbs... and go from there...
How to lose 50 lbs?? and keep it off? :confused:

Welcome home girl I am so glad you decided to come back!
 
Hey Tina! :)
Thanks! I wish I never would have left this place...
It has been about a year hasn't it?

I know Korri... I should know all the in's and out's...

I tried doing my Pilates video but my leg was really starting to feel tingly and painfull.... I am so affraid to move... I am affraid I will dislodge more clots and they will travel to my heart and give me a heart attack, or to my brain and cause a stroke.... So I am too affraid to do cardio like Tae Bo...
ARGH! I am soooo frustrated right now.... you have no idea....
 
Welcome back! I'm new here compared to you...:)

What does your doctor say about exercise? Can he recommend something for you?
 
I will be going back to the doc in January. This has all been going on since MAY! (the day after Mothers Day to be exact)
All I know is I am absolutely banned from the trampoline..
but can go for short walks...
I have not started a walk routine but that is one of my goals.
I do not like the cold weather. It hurts my spine and hip bones too much, so the walk will have to wait....

I am goign through some DEEP DEPRESSION right now...
I think we are giving up our puppy tonight...
We got him 3 months ago from a family that could not keep him due to their son picking on the pup too much.
When we got him home we discovered the hard way that he is now very possesive of his food and bones.
I have been working with him eveyday and he is way better than he was, but still can get pretty scary.
My daughter is 7 and handles him quite well, but there just doesnt seem to be enough time in the day with me just starting a new job and volunteering at school so much.
So I guess the best thing would be to find him a new home.(again)
My fiance works with a man who is actively looking for a hound dog as we speak. He knows all about our little beagle and he and his wife may be by tonight to check him out.
I am going to miss this little guy. Seems as if he knows and now he is being on his best behavior.
I hate making decisions... Ugh..... I'm gonna miss Wrigley.....
My daughter is ok with the whole thing. For the past 3 months the cats have been in hiding and she is anxious to see them come out and be their crazy selves. Plus we decided that if the dog goes, we will buy the cats a big tower (the money we would have used to get Wrigley fixed and put in beginers class at Petsmart).... And I think the Guinea Pig will be glad that there will be no more howling at him everytime he squeaks...

Is this the end to all my chaos? I DOUBT IT!
Tune in next time.
 
wow, your doing so great, all that stress and you are still posting and trying to lose weight! just hang in there, and things will get better =-)
 
HI ROSIE I MISSED YOU! :D
Thanks for all the support everyone. I knew I came back for a good reason. :eek:

Well, the guy that was supposed to take our puppy.... His wife would not allow it. So We are giving it another shot. I went to the library and printed out a bunch of info, as so did Phil at work! Good sign. We are going to get Wrigley fixed, and put him through training and hope for the best. Sorry kitties, no tower for ya's just yet! :rolleyes:
My dad had a heart attack in July. He had a stent put in and was doing okay. Well he just went for some tests and is going back next week for angioplasty... I dont know all the details... Just know I am worried ad hell. :(
My sis..... still the same ol person... if not worse...:mad:
I AM STRESSING BIG TIME!
on top of all that..... IT'S TTOTM! ! !
:confused: :eek:
I'm losing it.... I need a va-ca!;)
