Wednesday Weigh In: Downer

I'm up two pounds this week.  That's right, UP.  I know it's not because of something I did.  If anything I improved my eating habits last week by adding fruit to daily diet.  I’m not completely miserable about the small gain, but I am rather downhearted.  I’m in lower spirits.  Not my chipper, positive self.  Things are somewhat out of my control right now and I hate that feeling.  I hate it.

  1. Hi Leigh,
    Don't be too disappointed. Think of what your body went through a couple of weeks ago. It will take time for your body to adjust. Keep you chin up.

    Now about me. Week #1 -- down two pounds. Doesn't sound like much, but, it's two pounds of butter. Talk to you next week.

  2. Oh Leigh, its ok you know. Theres going to be ups and downs. Its going to be a bumpy road. Just hang in there. Remember why exactly you are doing ths and the benefits you intend to reap.
    Also, remember everything I told you about having little or no thyroid function. Even if you had eaten perfectly last week this could happen. Other symptoms can be makng you feel way worse about this than if you had a fully functioning thyroid.

    Keep chipping away my friend.

  3. Leigh,
    I completely understand. It's not about the weight it's about the control or lack thereof. Focus on what you can control, and you have been doing great. You are doing the best things for your body, unfortunately your body is a little confused right now. Stupid thyroid! It is easy to get frustrated and low in spirits. Look at those handsome guys in your life and I'm sure that will brighten your day and remind you why you want to be healthy.
    You have been such a support to me. Hang in there.
