I have to be honest

After 4 pretty good weeks on WW, there came the 5th, when I gave up.  Yes, I said no to sweets a couple of times, but not in the last 3 days.  Got on the scale this morning, needless to say I am very disappointed on myself.

Maybe, just maybe, I will find the right mindset tomorrow, and start over again.

Why can't we, on WW say NOPE (where P stands for pie, or candy, or pizza, or...whatever else which makes us fat)?

How was I so good, ignoring temptations 15 years ago, and lost just as much as I needed.

Just the thought of having ignored to enter my points for the last 2 days and that depresses me to no end.

The PA at the PT place is telling me she can feel I am depressed and wanted to prescribe an anti-depressant.  She is sure it will help with the chronic pain, as well as my diet.

But I don't want to depend on anything to achieve my goal.  Am I getting soft in my old age?  Is it Diabetes which brings up the cravings?

Oh, well, much like some of our quitters here (me too through the years before this quit I want to call the last), I have to flip the page and start over again.  Hoping one week did not erase 4 weeks of honest efforts.

Mad, depressed and self-destructive me

I think diabetes is a HUGE factor in being able to lose weight.  I also think aging is part of slowing down weight loss.  I would not be too quick to refuse an antidepressant...I was put on them after I was diagnosed with RA and the pain had gone on and on.  I was told that antidepressants help with pain and that after more than three weeks of chronic pain, your brain chemistry changes.  I had some problems with more than one antidepressant causing side effects but I was finally able to get one that worked.  You might want to think about it.

Don't beat yourself up!

Love and hugs,

Ellen

It takes time to adjust to a new lifestyle.  The idea is to not give up.  On WW you can have ALL The things listed above.  JUST IN MODERATION.  Choose what you like the most and enjoy it.  SERVING SIZE IT.  Do not beat yourself up.  You will be able to do this.  You did not put the weight on in 5 weeks it will take time to get it off.  Chin up and get back on TRACK.  You will always have ups and downs.  Just remember to get back at it.

Ahhh sweetie, like Jackie JACKIE1-25-15 said, it didnt come on in 5 weeks and it won't come off in 5 weeks. Don't be so hard on yourself and just brush off and get back to it. Your a beautiful gal inside and out. I recently have been using this water bottle infuser and LOVE it. I mostly cut up lemons and or strawberries and fill it halfway with warm water and shake it real well to get the infusing more active, then top it off with cold filtered or bottled water. Its so awesome! AND I don't reach for the sweets. I drink this instead.

Oh, come on.  At least you are not smoking, you can't be beautiful and intelligent too!  I am in the same boat as you and am giving up bread, yes, bread.  And I love bread in all its manifestations.  keep on trying and stay away from those cookies!

Hang in there Daniela........comparisons aren't really fair, I guess.......but I think losing weight is really HARDER than quitting smoking! After all, you CAN just put down the cigarettes and never pick them up again. That's how you do it.......period. But we HAVE to eat. We have to eat to stay alive. I find it very COMPLICATED to eat correctly. When I had to lower my potassium....I was EXHAUSTED checking to see what had potassium and what did not; what percentage I ate that day etc.etc  I had no idea. My sister had to change her diet to control cholesterol. I get so CONFUSED when she explains she can eat this but not that....this much of this but not that and on and on. It just takes a LOT more figuring out. Because you can't "quit food".

So DON'T GIVE UP!!!! You can do this......it's just a bit more complex than "put them down and don't pick them up". So, figure it out and dive right back into it. We are all here for you...same as before.

Stay Strong.

Awww Daniela, I found patience was key with loosing weight.  You've mastered your quit and you will get this too.

I take two weight gaining meds so I try and watch everything that goes into my mouth.  I wish you the patience to try again.
