White Noise In My Mind

-


I didn't exactly make good on my plans of posting more last week, I've been around but I've lost my  spark for writing at the moment. Usual changing the color scheme of the blog helps motivate me somehow, like shedding of skin. I've been experiencing some mild depression lately, and it was directly triggered by a doctors appointment I had earlier in the week, I haven't quite been right since. I believe it was Tuesday I had my appointment and I seen someone I had not seen since 2011 starring at, that's the only reason I even noticed them, they were an old friend of of my buddy Nick, but I never associated with them. The issue I have is I don't want to been seen by people who I haven't  seen in many years, before I've reached my goal weight, regardless of how irrelevant they are (and this guy was quite). I kind of went into some distorted thinking  again about my weight, because he was kind of scanning me or at least that's how it seemed to me.

I have growing anxiety about various things, sometimes I feel like I've woken up in the twilight zone in terms of how things are going politically, then I feel like there is just bad news everywhere and it's getting hard to shake this feeling I'm having that it's only going to get worse there is more bad news to come. Morale is poor it's like when trying to look at the bright side someone points out the grey cloud approaching on the other side of the sky. There is so much negativity and it's affecting me, I haven't been able to focus well and I've been inconsistent with my exercising, I took several days off last week, and have just really been having to force myself to do it.

SimplyFit Board

Eating has been fine, this seems to be the one area that is going perfect, I realize I have a weigh-in coming up next week and I'm eager-nervous about it, I'm hopefully for a solid loss. I've seen commercials for something called a SimplyFit Board it's some type of new age balance board. It was featured on Shark Tank (US equivalent of Dragons Den, entrepreneurs pitch their product before several  rich investors hoping to  get an investment in their product). It supporters up to 400lbs lbs and you like swivel on it and it helps you burn fat and build muscle. I think I really want this thing.

An interesting week ahead, aside from therapy I have one appointment but I really need to do a ton of lab stuff because I have a an appointment with my kidney specialist coming up on the 10th. Next Sunday is the Super Bowl and my friend is having his annual party. Last time I gained 10 lbs over that week, maybe I'll live blog it, or actually use that Instagram story video thing, I still feel really awkward about video though. Someone asked me on Instagram if I would consider doing you YouTube and I thought it was a little funny because I have done YouTube, but I've made no reference to it on Instagram (aside from that reply) and I haven't made any updates to my channel since I've had such significant weight loss.

My goal this week is to try to find the silver linings, seek the good, in spite of seemingly universal and overwhelming dejection

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

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

Crumbling Cookie

Well I found out early today that my brother wouldn't quite be making his debut today because he would have to make several bus trips over several days. This somehow eased my anxiety, I mean why not? For the time-being I'll take prolonging the inevitable, which historically worsens my anxiety . I was told he wouldn't be making it here until around Friday, however later in the day, near the end,  I'm told there has been a miscalculation and he will be home sometime tomorrow. Anxiety currently sky high. Tomorrow will be quite the test, I am quite thankful that I have therapy on the same day, as my mind keeps going to dark places I have actually entertained the possibility of voluntary commitment, of course it would likely derail weight loss and what's the point of being committed if it's just going to make you worse off? Then I'll just end up in a worse off state where I end up on involuntary terms . In other news I had a doctors appointment today, it'
