As my readers know, I always post my latest weight loss almost
from the instant I leave the doctor’s office. My most recent visit was
Thursday, May 17th or FIVE days ago. The reason for this madness you ask?
I GAINED FOUR pounds!!! Yes, I said it and it is true. Sadly,
my loss of control continued through yet another doctor’s visit. This, even though I had all of you, my
friends edging me on for better behavior and encouraging me with every positive
word possible, the gain is true.
The RN who saw me
didn't really scold me, however her words were just as piercing and I cried.
I don't like admitting this on a public blog, however, all of you should
know me as a true person and not stating this on my blog would make me a liar.
In the end, the RN
suggested I make appointments with all the staff available to my disposal at
the Clinic. This would include the Nutritionist, and most importantly the
Psychologist. The RN and I both think that this emotional eating needs to
be addressed. She feels I didn't go through all of this just to fail now.
The RN also asked if I was already happy with the weight I have lost to
date. I answered a half yes; however, that being said, even though I am
happy, gaining four pounds is not the way to show it.
Yesterday, one of
my family members made a comment on my weight loss progress and when I admitted
the gain, I told them I hadn't blogged about it. One of my family
insisted that blogging about it would be part of the healing process and it is
true. I am already feeling better.
Today, I will be
driving to Marina del Rey for my appointment with the psychologist.
Hopefully, we will get to the bottom of this issue and I'll get back on
track. Somehow however, it won’t take just one visit…
On a good note...
the RN refilled my Lap Band port. It feels a lot different than other
visits in that I am full much faster than before. I am not sure what she
did different, however, it is very noticeable to me. With this,
I wish you all a blessed day. Enjoy its beauty!
