Pigging Out is No Way to Lose Weight

Goodness... I've been eating everything in sight for the past couple of days. I'm using the ol' period excuse, but I really need to quit doing it. And to make matters worse, the heartburn is back with a vengeance. It's been awful. Time to bland the diet again... perhaps that will help me lose some weight. It's been too hot to walk the past couple of days. Hopefully it will cool down by mid-week - it's also supposed to rain which should wash some of the yellow pollen away.

This Weight Loss Stuff Is Hard!

I'm on day 2 of being back on track. And I am starving. STARVING! I was starving this afternoon, but got through until dinner. Now it's almost 9:00pm and I'm hungry again. With only one point left. I guess I'll go have an apple.

On a positive note, I got out between rain storms today and got a walk in.

Time Wasted and My Crazy Mind

I'm back. I've wasted a lot of time in the past month or so not losing weight. It's weird how my mind works sometimes. I stopped being good... really stopped losing weight. I am not dying... which is really what I thought was happening. Weight loss was a side effect of every disease that I diagnosed myself with... so in my crazy mind, I convinced myself that if I stopped losing weight, then I wasn't dying. Hmmm...

The good news.... my heartburn seems to have resolved itself. I've felt really good for the past few weeks. My GI appointment went well. The doctor wanted me to have an endoscope (where they put a camera down your throat and see what's going on), but I canceled since I've felt good. I'll reschedule if I have more problems.

More good news... during my "hiatus", I only gained back two pounds. It easily could have been 10 or 15, especially with all the Girl Scout cookies and Easter candy that have been in my house... and in my mouth.

The best news... I'm back to counting my points and exercising. The weather is getting nicer, so I can walk outside. I'm back on board and hope to continue to lose weight. I got the invitation to my class reunion in the mail yesterday and really hope to lose bit more before I go to that at the end of July.
