Very disappointed in myself. After getting the good news that I don't have to follow the low-sodium diet anymore because the diagnosis changed and the problem with my balance/dizziness/vertigo and hearing loss is not as a result of Meniere's Disease. So, I caved and went back to my pre-health problem diet of lots of breads and all things crunchy and salty. I avoided Fatsecret for weeks and gained over 7 pounds. That may not sound like much, but when you're small to medium boned and 5'2" (used to be 5'3"!!), the pounds show up immediately and feel very heavy.
I'm so unhappy with my decision to sway from what I know is healthy and what makes me feel so great. And I need to get this under control again immediately. I have been able to stay off of soda and haven't started drinking that again, so I've not reverted to my former self completely. That gives me hope that I can start up again and not allow myself to eschew the healthy lifestyle again.
The stress I feel on my hips and knees and just the way I feel when I'm moving is different at this weight than even at 5-10 pounds lighter. I need to do this again. I'm starting now. I am embarrassed, ashamed and upset with myself and I at first put everything on "private" so my "story" wouldn't be shared, but as I'm writing this, I think I need to go ahead and make it public (even though for me that feels very raw) because I need the support and perhaps others can be helped by my situation......if I can get it under control again.
I'm back. :)

There is a plaque I bought myself and I have it visible in my living room/kitchen area. It reads: "You can't start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one." I saw it in a store and just had to have it. It's a good visible reminder I want to move forward, be healthier, make better decisions for myself and for my family. Life IS hard. Adding on the pounds is easy. Baby steps lead to toddler steps lead to youth steps lead to adult steps. The point is, keep trying. We're hear to help you every step of the way.

You have the tools to get back on track, so anyone of us could fall, you got back up and your at it again, forget the past and move forward, its part of healing process.

OK, so now you can file this away under your "well, I know THAT doesn't work" section and keep moving. I LOVE the plaque MightyFull posted. SO true. Time to start writing the next successful chapter of your future! This is the one where the heroine picks herself up, gets feisty and starts fighting back ;-)
