sprialling down again

I am looking for some encouragement/support etc. There has been so much stress lately from work (disciplined), taxes, money, hubby, etc...the usual, but I just keep finding myself gaining and losing the same 8 pounds. The dr. doesn't believe this could happen, but really...I go from 251-259-251 practically overnight . My scale is new and calibrated, and when I go in to be weighed on my own, it always matches within a pound. I hit 260 today...not something I have ever seen before and I am freaking out. I'll never get approved at this rate unless I get lucky and get in on a day I am lower. I really thought I would have been on the bench by now, from looking at people's timelines when I first signed up, and here summer is on it's way and I'm not even close.

To top it off, I feel so PMSy today, and I don't even have a uterus anymore!!!! LOL Can the one ovary left inside be causing me havoc? Luckily it is blonde, but I have more facial hair than my 18 year old step-son. There is too much to wax without it hurt like a b-

Anyways, I know tomorrow is a new day, and I always pray at night for the strength to get through what tomrrow brings, if there is a tomorrow. I pray for the strenght to resist temptation most of all when it comes to food, and for fibro pain to go away and not even come back on a rainy day so I can get up and walk outside a bit.

ok...I'm done rambling. Just needed a few thousand shoulders to lean on Thanks guys!

 Lean away...... Sorry to hear that things are tough right now. Hang in there .....

BJ

awwww, hugs. things will get better.

I know its hard, but try to focus on the positives (there are always positives, even small). Like you parked the farthest away in the parking lot. You have a roof over your head, you had milk for your coffee this morning. make a list of the positive things in your life.

One ovary could be causing havoc. Why not make an appt with your gyne to see if something can be done?

Hugs. You'll make it through this.

Thanks for the support!

As for the ovary, I was told I am not a candidate for estrogen because of blood clot history, and there is no pain right now so I haven't called the dr yet. It is an idea.

The mind is a VERY powerful thing. Do not focus on losing weight or gaining weight. (they both result in just gaining weight...) Focus on living the life you want to live.

What would you do if you were at your goal weight today? Now go out and do that!  Live life as though everything was exactly the way you wanted it to be.
 
You mind (the most powerful tool you could have) will subconsciously make it all happen for you. I know it sounds like a load of crap, but it really works!   Good luck! And enjoy every day!

awesome advice, fiero~~~

Aww (((HUGS)))  Try to stay strong, I find looking at timelines gets me down too so I try not to.

Your time will come and once it does I am sure it will seem like the wait was small.

Lean away on all of the shoulders you can including mine!!

is your 8 pound flucutiation preventing you from having surgery? We are the same weight and I myself flucuate from 250 to 258!

 

 i gained 10 between orientation and start of opti..... don't sweat it, pick yourself up dust youreslf off and throw away your scale... follow the advice of your clinic and don't look back!

and you were not held up because of it??? Why am I being made an example of then?
