Getting back on track

Aug 15, 2009

Well alot has happened since I have posted last; my divorce was finalized, had to file bankruptcy because of the divorce and because of all the stress I gained 10lbs. I am living alone for the first time in my life as I went from mom's to marriage. It is different, but am enjoying the freedom. I had a few boyfriends since the divorce most good, one that turned out to be verbally abusive...so needless to say, he is history now. I am happy to say that I have met a wonderful guy now, who is 11 years my junior. He is tall, dark and hansome and a sweetie too! Regardless of our age difference, we get along great and have a really good time together. Hoping he is around for a long time.

 Well back to my diet and weight gain; I will say that I do still measure my food, weigh my food and record my food. I still do not drink carbonated beverages at all. I have always been a stress eater, so I blame all I have recently gone through causing part of the gain. In the last six months I have also had to be put on chemo med's and prendisone for my Lupus; I blame the steroids and birth control pills for the rest of the 10lbs gain. I do know that I am also doing some things wrong, during the divorce I got lazy about recording my foods, but I am actively and religiously doing it again and trying to get the 10lbs off before my annual appointment on September 10th. I know I need to up my protein, that is one problem right there, but I am so damn tired all the time from the Lupus and chemo meds that I get lazy and just make quick processed crap a lot of the time. I still fit in all my clothes and feel like 5 of the lbs took shelter in my chest alone. lol. I feel so much more comfortable at the 135lbs and maintained that for well over 3 years and will get back there again. This 10lbs, to me, feels life 100lbs.

Well that is all that is new with me, so for now, I will end this post. Hope to have better news next time I post. Hope I can say the 10lbs is gone bye, bye. lol.
