Yet another try
I am so frustrated. I was down to 170, now back up to 190. I have tried low carb, low calorie, diet pills, you name it and I always seem to end up in bed at 10 p.m. with a dish of icecream, lol. That said, I am going to try again to get moving with my plan. I am going to try low carb again, even though I lose very slowly on that plan. When doing Atkins, I was a turtle for sure. So, I could use some encouragement.
I was doing well, then, my mom got very ill with cancer. At the same time I took a job that seemed to be a dream come true. It was actually a nightmare. My boss was a micro-manager and very abusive. My blood pressure was 119/98 at one point and my doctor told me it was not worth my health, although the money was great! So, I quit. Now I am home for the summer, unemployed and tired of being fat. I have the extra time it takes to eat healthy (and it does take a bit of extra time I have found) and no reason not to get going. I am 50. Oh my God that sounds so awful! Overweight, 50, and unemployed.
I used to be a runner, but due to a back injury in 2002, I can't do a lot of strenuous exercise. But, I can walk, which I don't do. So, I gotta get moving folks. The time is now. Hope I feel the same way tonight at 10. Cheryl
