Hot Then I'm Cold

Yesterday

Was a mile day, for breakfast I had a peanut butter and jam sandwich, for lunch a bag of popcorn, and for dinner some pinto bean soup. I watched more True Detective, I now only have two episodes left of the first season. I read an issue of my Simpsons comics.  Called it a night a bit on the early side.



Today

I've been having issues with waking up at 2 or 4am in the morning and then falling back to sleep this past week. I've also been having issues dealing with my weightloss, or rather accepting it. One day I feel so proud the next I feel nothing. I'm having a hard time allowing myself be proud, or enjoy what I've accomplished. Sometimes it feels like I'll only be satisfied after I've lost every single pound I want to lose, and not a second before. That's hard to grasp, I've got hundreds of pounds to go, the idea that I wont be proud of myself till then is aggravating. But this whole journey is aggravating, I'm so tired of  second guessing. I wish I could just allow myself the appreciation full time instead of short-lived instances.

Last night sometime I got a friend request from me of my brothers ex girlfriends. She also sent me a short message asking about him. Now I have a total six or seven (giver take) of their exes on my Facebook, and that is suddenly bothering me.

I found out today that my Aunt, whom next to my mom, I have the best relationship with, is being screened this week for a type of cancer called lymphoma. I found out quite randomly. I was sitting in the living room while mom was playing her beloved bingo games on her iPad, and I just asked her how my aunt was doing lately. I normally over hear them on the phone during the week, but hadn't. That's when she told me about everything, and I was pretty upset that I just found out. I'm so easily disregarded, I just kind of feel like I should have been in the know sooner. Not that it would or could've changed anything. I kind of wish I didn't even ask. It's going to be a snowball of anxiety, rolling down a mountain.

I've been feeling really down lately, and haven't been feeling like I'm doing anything fulfilling. My life seems to revolve around calories, walking, what I am, and what I can't eat. That feels like my life, living to lose weight to actually have a life? My homework for therapy this week is supposed to be some kind of love letter to myself, or something like that, and I just keep putting it off. I don't even know if I can do it.

Today I'm going to knock out the remaining episodes of True Detective, and read some more of my comics.

I'm glad this sad weekend is coming to an end. Here's hoping my week plays out better than these last two days (emotionally).

Move Along Move Along, Just To Make It Through

The title, lyrics from one of my favorite bands and one of my favor songs, The All-American Reject's Move Along . It randomly popped up in my head at just the right time. I'm not going to give up, I pretty much see how sort of ridiculous my feelings have been the last 48 hours. Lifestyle changes are not easy, it took me 27 years, 27 years of gradually weight gain to put me here, and its not going to be lost over night, not even in a year, but a lot can be done in a year, more in two, and so on, and so on. I have to keep sight of what I want, and that is to be thinner, happier and healthier. Going back to work will be a new obstacle Ill have to adjust to, Ill have to endure the looks, the stares, the embarrassment, Ill have to live through my worst fears all over again, but I know these are the last of them, these are the final years of these bad experiences. Because I'm going to continuing losing weight, and the people and actions that intend to bring me down, will, but won

Seems Ive Survived The Week

Yesterday at work I only had to do computer training, I wasn't on my feet much at all, and yet they still hurt, just not severely. I was happy to get off, and yet emotionally miserable the ride home. When I arrived home and got inside, I headed to my room, and just did a genuine smile, I was glad to see my safe zone. Yesterday was a pretty emotional day (as many of you seen) , I never did end up calling that hotline, and likely wont, I just cant picture it doing me any good, what can they really do? Listen? I don't know. I'm not feeling as dark today, but I still wouldn't say my mental state has improved. However I'm glad to say I'm off until Tuesday, this may seem great, but I kind of feel like its bad. Having this time off then jumping back in, I'm sure by sometime Sunday night, things will start weighing heavy on me again. You know I didn't think Id ever be back at this point, honestly. Last summer I was a similar dark place, and I had no outlet

Weigh-in: Seeking Redemption Cove

-
So here we are, it's Monday. Time to weigh-in, after a week of overindulging on calorie packed bakery cookies and skipping on exercising and not to mention Saturday in its entirety,  I have come into this weigh-in with realistic sense of dread. Last week I weighted 357.6. This week I weigh 354.4 . So that actually turns out to be a loss of 3.2lbs. So how did this happen? Well I honestly didn't eat dinner for the last four days, so that probably plays a slight role. Like I said a in previous post I've been in an odd place mentally, and I've taken some steps back depression wise. I decided to skip dinner since Thursday part of it was because I was trying to compensate for the damage I'd already done throughout the week, and another part was just the depression making it too easy for me not to have any appetite. The plan for the week is still to reach R edemption C ove , I'm quite uncertain if this is possible to be honest. I'm quite unmotivated and still men
