Yo-yo No More
My weight has been going up and down like the stock market these past few months. I haven't been able to get out of my 140s. I would come close and then shoot back up again. It's not really helping because I need to get at least 10 lbs down so I can fit into my dress.Yesterday, I had a pity party after finding out I shot up 3 lbs this past week. I just said "screw it" and ended up getting some chips and a soda and greasy Chinese food from Pacific Super. I slept most of the day and I realized that I had to go to rehearsal that evening. I got dressed and waited a good 15 minutes to realize that the train wasn't going to come by for another 15 minutes. I said "screw it" and took a bus to the BART station and took BART to 16th Street Mission stop and walked as fast as I could from the Mission to the Castro. I finally made it to rehearsal and it cleared my head and got rid of most of the pity party. By the time I got home, I decided to fix a real healthy meal of rotiseere chicken breast, mixed vegetables and quinoa. It was good to have Rich back home since he was gone most of the day. We vowed that we would work together to get rid of the weight.
I looked at an old Weight Watcher's weekly handout on motivation. I went to a couple of the message boards and found one on depression and weight loss. That really spoke to me since I've been trying to cope with being bipolar and losing weight. One of the gals on the board recommended me to the bipolar and losing weight board. I left messages on both and feel hopeful because I am no longer alone in this.
