Curves Monthly WI

Well, I did it ... Wednesday night I got myself weighed and measured at
Curves for the first time since June. I figured, hey, maybe I'll have a
loss in inches that I'm not seeing on the scale, something. Well, I did see
a change... I weigh more now than I did when I started Curves in January!
And all my measurements were higher than when I started and my BF% was
higher. Talk about motivation! Here I thought I was going to get good news
and got basically the exact opposite. I drowned my sorrows in Popeye's
chicken, onion rings, and biscuits and honey last night thinking it would
make me feel better. Of course all it does is make things worse. And to
top that off, my sweet mom gave me a bag of candy corn Wed night because she
felt guilty that she forgot to give it to me for Halloween. She's SO sweet,
I'm 27 and she still gives me something for EVERY holiday, it's crazy. But
I think I'm just going to throw the rest of the bag away, if I keep it I'll
just keep eating it and it will never end.

I'm feeling so down lately, and I know I shouldn't. We're buying a house
and that's a HUGE deal emotionally and financially, but everything is very
positive that we will be closing on November 26th. It's also getting to be
the holidays and they always say you get the blues this time of year when
it's colder and darker earlier, etc. I hope this doesn't last too long...
I'm depressed and it's not even TOM for another 3 weeks. *sigh*

Thanks for listening...

Awwwww.... sweetie, you sound like you need a big hug... I wish I could jump
over the ocean and give you one! Hang in there, Kristin, buying a house is
very stressful. At least you learned that eating onion rings and biscuits
didn't make you feel better. Now throw that bag of candy corn out, will ya
:-) Try to make a deal with yourself : stay OP for one full day... then make
it 2, then 3... I know you 'll make it!

Kristen,

Buying a house is stressful, I know because that is what we aare trying to
do. We are trying to sell the house that we are in and buy another one.
Trying to keep up with their hoops that they want us to jump through is
hard! Try and stay OP this week and you will get back to where you were

Try & look on the good side, Kristin, & remember how much less you weigh than
when you first started. Get over this stressful time & then you'll be able to
handle things better. Wish you luck.

Hi, Kristin, Hang in there! If you are doing the program, and this is the
result, you might consider a doctor's checkup. I have a slow thyroid and
stopped losing weight and started gaining. I had a routine blood test and
it shown that the thyroid was not working properly. I have started to loss
weight again.
If this is not the problem, hang in there. Stress and holidays are
terrible.

Thanks so much for the hug, Nathalie, I really could use a few. I had a
couple more handfuls yesterday of that darn candy corn and then I threw it
out! Dang sugar anyway! I'm really going to try for staying OP today. I
almost had it yesterday, went into dinner with 12 points left and *poof*...
we had to eat at Old Chicago and instead of buying a nice salad and one
slice of garlic bread I had to indulge in TWO beers and a calzone... LOL.
Well that's okay, today is a new day!

Hi and thanks for your post, Irma. I really appreciate the support and it

Yes, that always helps me to think that Elaine. Like Jill at Curves told me
the other day before I was measured: "Just think, if you hadn't been coming
here you may not be as healthy as you are now. You've lost 30 pounds and
are strengthening your body with the excersize and gaining muscle, etc."
She didn't say it quite like that but it helped me to think of it that way,
I can do stairs better now without stopping at the top and panting for air,
stuff like that.

Thanks for the reminder, Elaine. I appreciate you looking out for me.

Hi Catherine, well I did do that whole thyroid work up earlier this year to
find I have a perfectly healthy thyroid and my doctor wanted to help me with
Meridia to lose weight! HELL NO I said, I'm not going to take any drugs for
losing weight, and especially not drugs that cost $200 a month. No way... I
may be desperate but not quite that bad.

I was a little disgusted with my doctor after that visit. Thank you for
your advice and support... I truly appreciate it sweetie!
