I am out of the house early today. Sitting at my primary doctor’s office for my annual physical. Nothing exciting but I did bring up my ever nagging issue of weight. As expected I was up weight from the previous year. No matter what I do, I am always up weight. It has been extremely frustrating. I worked so hard taking weight off and maintaining that loss for years. I still work so hard to exercise to the best of…
Today is the first day I’m going out in a week. Between my stomach issues and the excessive heat I’ve been home bound. I can’t even complain about it because I felt terrible for a good portion of those days. I was happy to have my family support and the unconditional love of my dogs. My weight shot back up, everything I lost over the last month is back plus a pound or two. I spoke to both neurologists and…
I feel a little down since my neurologist appointment the other day. I haven’t shaken it off. I’m not down about having MS, I’m down about MS causing me to gain weight. Between the medicine, my age and lack of physical ability I can’t control my weight and I am very sad. I spent my entire life battling my weight. I was always up and down on the scale since I was a teenager. I’ve read about and tried every…
I didn’t want to write this yet but it is a success story that I need to share. I’ve been doing intermittent fasting for over a year. I was doing a 16:8 fast. This is where you fast for 16 hours and eat during a window of 8 hours. For me that window of eating was 11-7. I was never a big breakfast eater so it worked well for me although I wasn’t really losing weight from it despite my…
I’ve been doing intermittent fasting at a 16:8 schedule for over a year now. What does that mean? It means I eat between in an 8 hour time frame and fast for a 16 hour time frame. For me I ate between the hours of 11-7. The rest of the time I ate nothing and consumed only water. I finished the book the obesity code The Obesity Code this weekend. I must say I learned something new about dieting from…
After my upsetting week last week following weight watchers I choose to see my weight differently. I asked the universe for help. I immediately got to my life coach but then I got an email from my cousin. It was actually her second email regarding a book called <br /> . My cousin’s first email was explaining about the book before she knew I was struggling. The second email was following my blog post where she was more insistent that…
I had another week where I gained weight on weight watchers for no reason. I was very upset and angry and so I cheated. A lovely cycle. Feeling even worse now I started on a dark path of negative thoughts. I started to google the various surgeries that are out there for overweight people. I even filled out one of the doctors forms for more information. I was turned down because my BMI is too low. I started searching medication…
I was perfect this week. I tracked my food each day. I was within my point range. I didn’t consume my weekly points. I worked out to the best of my ability 5 days this week. I stayed off the scale so I didn’t let it dictate how I ate. I was excited to weight in at the end of the week. My result…I gained 1.2 pounds. I kid you not. At first I was like WTF but realized this…
I’ve done a lot of yo-yo dieting for the last few years. I for the first time started gaining weight in years on my weight watchers Maintainence plan. When I tried to actually do the weight watchers diet I wasn’t losing weight. I went off strict vegan and added fish. I went off vegan completely and tried keto. I went back to strict vegan. I’ve been all over. The only thing I can show for it is another 5lb weight…
I guess it was inevitable that once you put the carbs back the weight comes back as well. It didn’t take long and was actually a little alarming. At first I gained ever pound I lost within a week. That was disheartening but then it leveled off and I took off a couple of pounds. I’m still up five pounds but so be it. Why I changed? At first Keto was yummy. When you haven’t eaten cheese and butter for…
