Stuck

Apr 06, 2010

I've had a bad week.  Had to take an emergency trip to Florida to visit my aunt who has been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer.  We drove there and back.  That in combination with many days sitting in the hospital contributed to 3 pounds of weight gain.  EVERYONE asks me "how does that happend"???  They don't get that it's a tool, not a magic pill.  I think most of the weight gain is water weight from sitting so much.  I have a problem with that a lot.  Since I've been back I'm FINALLY able to get into the schedule of my normal life that I have not been able to do since my surgery.  Yesterday I was at work and eating normally again (just smaller portions).  Keeping track of my intake and activity.  I upped my activity and my caloric intake was 969 for the day.  Met my protein and water goals for the day.  I'm still having a problem getting all of my meds in.  SO, this a.m. I was expecting to have lost SOMETHING.  Nope.  Still stuck.  Oh well.  Sticking to the same thing today.  Hoping for some change as long as it is not a gain.  The thing about my aunt's situation is that it forced me to get out of my head and to focus on something other than my band.  That was nice.  Now it's kind of just there and a part of who I am instead of the elephant in the room.
