I just felt so defeated that I wasn’t losing weight even with lower carb that I completely went opposite. I wanted to lose ten pounds (in 2.5 months) by the time my physical on Jan 2 came up. I struggled to lose just six. I’m so frustrated! Plus there are so many sweets around at Christmas. I will be making cookies, fudge, and Christmas crackle for desserts for Christmas Eve and gifts for people. It will be a major struggle to not eat too many of them.
On top of everything my stomach is hurting like crazy, probably from all the food and carbs. Doesn’t stop me from eating it though! I’m a glutton for punishment, as well as a regular glutton 
And I’m on the patch but still smoking here and there. I don’t smoke much bc i could accidentally take in too much nicotine but still, I can only go two or three days smoke free.
Ok ok all done with my self pity post. I know some of you are struggling with worse, especially Christina and wild coyote. I will be ok. I just have to make it through the holidays without completely wrecking my weight loss. |
Ahhh none of that ... Who has what worse stuff
All of us struggle with things that disrupt our lives and it all sucks!
Your trying to make 2 major life changes at once , which most doctors are leery to push together.
Quitting smoking and starting a weight loss program at the same time??? Yeah almost a certain disaster and many backslides. Most people gain 7-10 lbs when they stop smoking, yes people eat more but also smoking increases your metabolism, you quit , your going to gain something.
My advice ?? I’d stop smoking first then address the foods more seriously. I’m not saying have zero control with food , just don’t beat yourself up over it so hard.
Maybe guzzle down 16 Oz of water 20-30 mins before you sit down to a meal , it really does help with not over eating as much.
Enjoy the First Christmas in your own home with RS and your son
