It has been way too long since I posted anything...

Sorry, guys didn't mean to ditch you... Ok so here's an update.
Week to week my weight has fluctuated from a "low" of 284 to earlier this week I weighed myself and it said 292! Ahhh!!!! Well the obvious reason is I didn't work out for a week and a half. But holy cow! 8 lbs!!!!
I can't seem to keep weight off. I'm starting to wonder if the infertility treatments are causing it to be more difficult to loose weight. I haven't been eating very well or drinking my water. I'm a stress eater and right now, there is so much stress it would take up an entire afternoon to talk about it all! No wonder I can't get pregnant! Stress, weight, infertility, will it ever end?!?!
So today to try to get myself back on track, I went to the gym and burned 668 calories or an hour on the elliptical. Maybe that will erase that Frosty I ate today... I joined Weight Watchers a long time ago but have been too ashamed of my eating habits to even admit it to myself.
Any way that's where I'm at...
love you guys, sorry it has been so long since I posted something or encouraged you on your journeys.

Leave your worries with God. Find a destresser besides eating. Like go work out when you want to stress eat. Get back to weight watchers it works.

I can understand the stress eating, though. Sometimes, when something really disappoints me, I sit down with a big bag of candy or a pile of cookies or a huge dish of ice cream and just eat until I feel sick.

I've heard somewhere that the less sleep you get, the more you eat, and of course, we all know we need way more sleep when we're under extra stress.

I'm sure your body chemistry does have something to do with it. I for one can vouch for the controlling prescence messed up body chemistry has.

The great thing about walking, for me, is that I can't eat very easily while I'm doing it, and I'm entertained enough not to care.

Small changes make a difference too. I remember once I made a goal for myself - ONE dessert a day. Paul laughed at me. "Do you realize that's still 30 donuts a month?!" and yeah, it sounds bad, but it was far less than the amount of sweets I had been eating, and I knew if I tried to quit cold turkey I couldn't do it at all. But finally (after a LONG time), I was able to limit myself to one dessert a day, and then slightly less. Some days I go back to oh, five desserts, but it's not as frequent.

I tend to be a person who fidgets or does silly, spazzy movements a lot (when I'm in a good mood). I think I burn extra calories that way.
