Year in review
Dec 22, 2008
Well 2008 turned out to be a very difficult and frustrating year for me in my weighloss journey..I started the year out great and lost 10# in the 1st 4 wks but things quickly went downhill in May and are just now improving!
Overall I have regained 15# which is very difficult for me to accept and I went into a bit of a depression and avoided support meetings etc.
Gary's death hit me hard! If not for him, I wouldnt have been able to have my surgery! I still think of him and expect to see him online to talk baseball - boy would he have a field day with what the Yankees are doing.. lol
August brought more frustration as I had to have an unfill as I was heading towards a slip - luckily I only gained 1# in the month between the unfill and the refill but it has been difficult getting back on track. physically & mentally... I have maintained for 2 months which is good that I didnt gain anything but I had hoped for a slight weight loss...
Big changes in my family have not helped -dad had a double bypass, back surgery & corated artery surgery & phnemonia - my son became engaged and my s/o and I are discussing living together which would mean a move to WI. for me - I am excited to finaklly be with the love of my life and for a change in scenery and a better job but it will be hard to not see my kids and precious granddaughter on a daily basis. I haven't looked for a Bariatric surgeon in Milwaukee because I wont find another Dr Simpson so I will just have to come back to Phx more often so I can check in with him & his staff -
looking back at all this, I guess it isn't surprising that my WL journey has been rocky this year but its been nearly 3 yrs and I should be near if not AT goal and this is very depressing and frustrating for me to come to terms with... I know in my head that I cant compare myself to others, that we all lose at different rates and that those who have more to lose than me, will lose more, faster - I know this in my head but it doesn't make me feel any better!
I joined 24 hour fitness so I am at least ending the year on a good note
Well enough rambling...
MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR !
