Rage against the machine

Sep 25, 2014

I got rid of some rage and stress by getting on my folks treadmill this evening.  Before WLS when I was stressed or irritated I'd probably just waller in my self pity and grab a bag o chips but now the new me either cleans house and/or hops on the treadmill.  I got on it shaking my head about some stressful stuff going on in my life and the next thing I knew 50 mins was gone and I was feeling some reilef.  I don't like to negative blog/post because lets face it we all have problems no matter how perfect life is right now something always happens to bring us down.  In the big picture the things that are going wrong in my life are just small issues compared to how great God is so this too will pass.  Like hopefully my stall will pass soon too...stuck at 201-202 for going on 3 weeks now, tomorrow I weigh so I'll see how it goes.  That wasn't the cause of my stress but it has been bringing me a bit down.  I've been having thoughts like "is this all I'm going to lose and if so would I be okay with that?"...no I've got a pair of size 12 jeans that I stare at every day that I long to be able to wear.  But I imagine things and the loss will slow up eventually.  But 199 please let me see you soon.  For anyone stressing or having a bad day; tomorrow will be brighter & God is greater and thank goodness for inclined treadmills on stressful days.  I speed walked most of my worries away.  Hope to blog about onederland soon continuing on with the battle and eating low carb and making sure I exercise.  Hope next blog is the 199 or less blog.
