The Millionth Attempt
Posted November 1st, 2009 at 10:12 AM by stephbob
It's been 2 weeks now since we broke up, and I'm finally eating 3 meals a day again, back with a relatively healthy appetite, and with the mindset that I can get back on track. I'm over the initial hurt and pain, and unlike last time I have avoided contact with him. It hurts, but I know that its for the best to just cut off all contact with him. I spent a year crying over him before, watching him date other people, hearing all about his new girlfriend, before he decided he was ready to get back together. I don't want that again.
So I feel ready and able to get back on track. I felt ready last week, but I decided to give myself a little extra time. I have my student card on its way in the mail, so I'm joining back at the gym this week, which will give me a good reason to get out of the house, and do something for myself. And hopefully to meet new people! (Ahem, men)
For a change, I have no deadlines for my weight loss. I just want to lose weight for ME! That's the difference. I weighed in at 159 lbs last week, and I have jumped up a little to 163 lbs as of this morning, which is expected since I'm now eating properly again.
So:
Highest Weight: 179 lbs
Start Weight: 170 lbs
Current Weight: 163 lbs
Goal Weight: ~ 115 lbs

Self care is so important especially when recovering from such rejection. I'm so glad you're doing better.

HEY STEPH!!!
Welcome back! I was actually a little worried we had lost you! Don't do that to us again!
Its never easy what you have just gone through, I have been there and right now I think your approaching the sweetest point.. the point where it become clear that you are you, that your motivations are for you.. I have been there too, and to be honest, in a selfish way, its the best place to be!... but then when your not expecting it, wam, someone with the right chemistry comes along and messes all that up!
Anyway, I have a confession to make.. last week.. I fell off the wagon for a whole week!.. I had a good (ish) reason and in the hard bit of climbing back onto the wagon right now and back on Atkins right now.
Anyway, well done, welcome back and please dont let anyone knock you back down again.. we need you round here girl!Posted November 3rd, 2009 at 09:33 AM by sarbirus
