Missing in Action
Feb 08, 2010
Regretfully I've been missing in action and missed my connection with any support with my weight loss. Due to work, I can't attend any meetings and haven't been able to connect on line. I fell into a worse depression months after my surgery. My weight plateaued and the depression worsened. No one knew about my depression, because I wore a mask! I went to work everyday and worked out 3-4 times weekly, thus on the surface everything appeared normal.
My back continues to be an issue and I was hoping that the weight loss would lessen the pain in my back and knees, and it has, but my back is getting worse. After several visits to my Neurosurgeon, he is now discussing surgery! Recovery from surgery can be six months and that blows my mind!!! It seems when things are getting better a wrench is being thrown in my plans, but I must do what I must for my health. I just hate staying home!!!
It continues to be difficult to consume the proper amount of nutrition and water, thus my weight did not change. My nutritionist and sister told me that I had to make a conscience effort to eat so the weight loss would continue. It's hard as hell, but I'm trying and the weight is starting to go down. Exercising is enjoyable, but I've been restricted due to my back problems, and this is worsening my depression. But, I will return tomorrow to walk in the water and meditate in the steam room!! I have to stay active!
