March Is Here, Already?

-



Amidst the chaos I hadn't realized we silently crept into March, the 3rd month of the year. Feels like I'm still stuck in February, its hard to grasp the reality of it. February was turbulent to say the least, with each week seemingly become more catastrophic. I'm failing this weight loss journey and that hurt, it hurts me in my core, it hurts me all around. This was the first year in so long I set goals for myself, for the time maybe ever that I truly set out to change my life for the good, for good.

February was suppose to be the month that I really started seeing results, like visually, I was suppose to be able to look at myself and go yeah, I'm losing weight for sure. But that hasn't happened, every little success is surrounded in doubt, because I just cant see it, and if I cant see it, no one else can. Its March, and this month is looking like its going to be absolute hell, I have no idea how I will manage. I just don't know how long I can feel like this, this is the worst its been, maybe ever.

I don't know if I mentioned this in some form late last week, but Wednesday I developed some type of knot in my stomach, it was tense and lightly painful, but it was the discomfort that really bothered me, it got more intense Thursday, and stuck around all through Friday, but was gone Saturday. I believe this was a physical manifestation of my anxiety, and stress. Saturday and Sunday I was fine, but today, knowing work looms tomorrow, I can feel it coming back.

I opened up a bit to my mom about the issues Ive been having lately, and she was sympathetic, but didn't offer me the out I was maybe hoping for, but it was kind of nice to get some of it out vocally. I barely spoke since Wednesday, barely ate until Saturday, but feel my appetite diminishing again. I'm trying to find something to cling on to, some glimmer of hope, a will to live. This was suppose to be the year I changed my life, lost a ton of weight, started living. It feels like Ive only taken baby steps, and I'm now moving backwards

Ive been thinking of my life a lot lately, and what it means or doesn't mean. I'm considering going to a counseling center that deals with people suffering from severe symptoms of depression, and anxiety and things of that nature.

I want to thank everyone for all the support this last week, I seriously don't know if I would have made it out alive without you guys, you truly made a difference. Ive been on, and am still on, the precipice of destruction, but its been almost surreal seeing you guys so concerned, but in that same vein I feel like I'm letting you guys down. I wanted to inspire people with the weight loss journey I embarked on, but I reckon I'm not very inspiring these days. I have been having little thoughts over the weekend though, wondering how amazing it would be if I made it to the end of this year, and seen amazing results, if something changed and I overcame all of this. It would be quite the comeback. Those are delusions more than anything at this point, but what sweet delusions they are.

Smooth Sailing

The week seems to have just glided by, it's almost over. I've been sleeping well, this morning however I woke-up feeling kind of out of it.  A recent comment mentioned going down in shirt sizes, that's interesting because my therapist has been saying I should do this for weeks, new clothes, it's a touchy subject. I'm not quite sure there is enough of a difference to warrant me getting new lower sizes. As I told my therapist (whom thought I was being ridiculous) I've laid in these shirts in so many different ways and contorted them that it's really no telling if weight loss  has anything to with this appearance. So I really don't want to go down lower in sizes and be disappointed, and then wouldn't going down in size make me look bigger anyways? I know the logic in that last bit is odd , but it just came to me, I can't rationalize it, but it seems valid as if this sentence. Mentally I'm mostly stable, however that picture of me by the campe...

I Watched Some Picture Films

-
I always like when people refer to movies as "picture films." I actually watched some movies over the weekend several days in a row. I even watched one this morning called The Loft , yesterday I watched The Account with Ben Affleck (so good). Its been really nice getting caught up in movie worlds for a little bit of time again, especially the horror ones, I really love a good spooky film. I watched one called From The Dark that was really good and I actually have a few to watch tonight so that should be scary fun. I got some Canadian bacon because I was told this was better for me than regular bacon because its considered lean or whatever, I also got some peanut butter 2 that I'm planning on making on an Instagram story video thing maybe today, its basically this powdery peanut butter you add water to that turns into normal peanut butter that has less fat and calories than regular peanut butter, so if you're following me on Instagram be looking out for that. How ...

Boot Camp Week Day Five

The final day of boot camp week is upon us. Today the exercise goal is to complete the four mile challenge, which would give me a new miles per week peak. The food goal is simple once again, and the consistent goal of the week. Stay below 1,800 calories. I got news yesterday that my oldest nephew might be coming down for the weekend. That's pretty awesome news. His spring break starts today, but he'll only be here the weekend (versus the entire break previously), but   it wasn't set in stone so I'm not expecting anything.  He has been getting all A's in school this semester so far so I'm really proud of him. Today I'm getting blood work done, and will likely schedule  that follow up appointment.
