Weight maintenance is so much harder than it used to be!

196 this morning. I wonder if that's for real or just a water weight thing. I haven't dropped 2 lbs. in 2 days since the early days of this diet. But 196 it is.

Nice
My brother lost a bunch. Maybe not 220 but in the high 100s
He'd raise his shirt and turn his belly into a puppet with a big mouth for the kiddies
Sorta gross, but pretty doggone funny
Some kids got a kick outa it, some ran

Keesha, don't ever feel you're by yourself feeling alone and insecure. I'm like that myself a lot, too. It creeps up on yourself and you have to just let it go at times--easier said than done. It can be such a physical feeling which is not always by others really understood. Just remember it does pass. I understand you, Keesha. I get that, too.

Thanks Olivia. My husband isn’t a huge guy but if push comes to shove, he can look after himself and rarely , if ever , shows any signs of insecurity. He’s often telling me that he isn’t always secure and that the only difference is that I feel the insistent need to verbalize everything. It doesn’t usually make sense when or why I do it and while I feel like an idiot doing it, later once I fully process it , I feel better.

At the current moment the amount I have to process feels overwhelming. There are decisions I have to make that I don’t want. Decisions that should have been made long ago and the reasons I didn’t make them are over the top crazy.

It feels like a multiple death yet nobody died so I feel guilty for feeling such sorrow. It feels like an ending yet I’m not sure what’s ended. Why is there such pain attached to letting go of a situation that causes nothing but stress and sorrow?

I’m not actually expecting an answer. I just need to diffuse this heartache some and figure out why I’m feeling like I do. It feels like a failure when it should feel like an escape; a relief.

Anyway, have been walking about 5 or 6 kilometres a day as well as riding my bike 4 to 5 kilometres. For some reason I stopped doing my yoga and now my body aches.

Now I’m whining.
Haha😂 ok that was funny.

Thank you for allowing me to vent.
Much appreciated. 😅
 
I broke my ankle while working years ago. Sitting around and eating, I put on some extra weight. When the cast came off, my workouts began and I was able to quickly get my weight back to where it should have been. I firmedup pretty quickly, but had some loose skin around the belt area. My doctor told me that he doubt if I would be able to tighten it back up due to age making things go south, like gravity.

I had tried crunches and other tightening exercises to no avail. I went to a surgeon and asked about skin removal. He refused to do it and told me that he doubted if I would find any other doctor willing to perform the surgery. He told me the same thing that my GP told me. Get used to it. He doubted if I would ever get it firmed again.
 
196 again this morning. I was a bit worried about it too because I went up 4 lbs to 200 yesterday after eating. Normally I don't go up more than 2-3lbs during the day when I am dieting. And today the same thing. I was up to 200 right after breakfast.
 
Ugh.... gained back one of the pounds. So down 1, 4 to go. High sodium Thai food last night. Tonight I'll have much better control of the food though. Burrito bowls served buffet style at our daughter's.

Will need to have a beer though... a gal's gotta have some fun, right?

I could use a set of these. Do you suppose you could rustle up a matching spoon? Maybe serving pieces, as well?

Yeah, maybe we could start marketing them, huh. My dad, who was tall and thin used to say about a friend that was always on a diet , she needs to get her elbo fixed..."she's fat because every time her elbow bends, her mouth automatically flies open".
 
196 for the 4th day in a row.

I feel pretty good about this. Now that I have broken through the plateau I hit at 200 it looks like I can drop about a pound a week on the 2000 day limit. So I'll stick with that for now. Only 6 lbs to go till 190. Then I'm going to go to Wally World and try on some 36 jeans. If they fit I'll stop there.

I'm very curious why he refused to do it. Can you elaborate?
