I know me and most of you too!!  I can't walk because of my knees..I have gout now..isn't that lovely?  So, my hubby and I joined the local community college to swim. Well, now I can't swim either..it's just natural when you try to swim you kick...ughgh...I know I know, walk or jog in the water..I am..

sorry fibronana just feels like whining right now!!  I'm feeling chunky and unattractive..I know the right choices to make and all that fruit and veggie and salmon info....I just want to whine!!!  hahahahahahaaa! My son told me to take this ALL natural (right) rasberry something or other..MOM, it will take the weight right off...

Trying to explain that I can't just take things like that was not going anywhere..  Oh well...anyone else feel like this??? 

I just want to go get some rasberry zingers and eat and eat and eat....but I know, the sugar will make me feel worse than I do now...so not worth it..but sure like thinking about it...

well, thanks for listening to my whining and ramblings....

guess I'll head to the pool and gently walk back and forth.... rolleyes

Pain in the tuckus, I agree.

My downfall right now is ice cream. I am living with the boyfriend this summer until the fall semester starts again, and he eats low-carb. Everything I am cooking is super-healthy, and I do get far more exercise with him that I do in my own house.

But when he is at work and I am out and about, I make poor choices. Purposely, through stress? My weight hasn't budged an inch. I am inching back into my pool work slowly, as my body and brain are still recovering from the past month. We have lots of bike rides planned, including one this weekend.

They say calories out must exceed calories in. So, like, Dude, eat less and exercise more. yeah, I get the concept, but it's not real helpful right now.

I went yesterday and got my hair dyed and cut. Thinking about getting an eyebrow shaping for tomorrow. Sometimes, feeling pretty is worth it.

I have many days where I feel more chunky than I really am. It has a lot to do with the moon phases; they affect your body just like they affect everything else. Thats why some days you feel 100% beautiful, and others you just want to cry. I recently put on 20 lbs because of medications and stress, but I am getting ready to start an exercise regimen and going back to my IBS diet, with lots of protein and low carbs. Im hoping it will help me. I hope you start feeling better soon!

I have gained 20 pounds as well, and while I am not obese, I feel really bad about this weight gain. I don't even eat all that much. I do occasionally eat crappy foods, but I'm one of those people that doesn't eat when severely stressed out or depressed. Food just doesn't sound good at all. I'm half tempted to try some weight loss pills once I start a swimming routine, but I don't know how that will work with all the other crap I take...weight gain is the worst!

nounsanity76 and *jaden,

I too am only about 20 lbs over but feels like a 100 right now. You may be right about the moon phase..I just revert back to the same old phrase we all use: this too shall pass!

I'm going to take a nap and yes I realize it's 5:00 central time...but my hubby is gone for a day or two..so I can do whatever I please...wooohoooo!

take care,

Fibronana

Fibronana, I was feeling the same way & my daughter talked me into trying a web site that was helping her lose weight. I have just finished & am 31 LBS down. I have really enjoyed using this program. You start by putting in your info like weight now, height, etc & then put in your goal weight, the program figures out your daily caloric intake etc. I (of course) had to put I was sedentary but over time I started riding a stationary bike, building up each week, but I wasn't able to be really consistent with the CFS & FM but I was still able to lose the weight I wanted. I had been sure I wouldn't lose anything but it still kept coming off. My daughter (she has MCTD & FM) has lost 76LBS. Anyway, thought you might be interested, it's called My fitness pal & the site is www.myfitnesspal.com. Hugs, Denise

Ah geez, I know what you mean! I know I should do something besides sit like a lump. That's what I look like. I KNOW I should pool walk, or just plain walk. I KNOW THIS.

How do I convince my knees that are bone on bone. How do I convince the herniated disc in my spine. How do I convince all the arthritis that we need to move? And don't forget about convincing the fibro. either. Oh, and how do I convince my bank account to manufacture a few more dollars a month so I could join a gym?

When I get all that figured out, I'll come back with the answers. OK?
