I'm here. I'm fat and I'm sick and I'm icky. **drops to the floor with a grand flourish and moan**

 

Ok, so after my stint in the hospital for brain testing, I'd put on 10-15 pounds. Since then, I haven't been doing great with food and my activity has plummeted. I haven't been on the scale. I'm terrified. As of today, I'm taking the dogs for a good walk in the natural park. I had pneumonia last week and it will be the first time I can get out into fresh air. I won't overdo it, I promise. I have worn my fitbit every single day, regardless of my set backs, because I know I will need that baseline and the data when I look back and see what's happened. I'll see the improvement and it will encourage me. I'm not done. I can't go back to what I was before. 

Please, start the new challenge and I'll dedicate myself to posting each day. It always helps.

@_Lilac_  What a drama queen! LOL!!!!

So sorry you were sick but really glad you are better and that it was nothing more keeping you from posting.

Pick yourself up off the floor, brush yourself off, and do what you can (do not over-do!) - you are capable of great things.

No judgement from any of the rest of us because we are all right there with you (maybe not dramatically on the floor but definitely shrinking from the scale), even when we are doing well, we all have the 'fat' mentality/memories.

 

This goes for everyone out there - You are strong! You are capable! You are unique! You are not alone!

We did a long walk in the park today with the dogs. I was out of breath from the exercise and illness, but it was a good thing. I'm at 7000 steps, which is a lot more than I've had in a while. I am encouraged that I am feeling good and not more sick. 

Bring on the next challenge!

Final weigh in for this challenge. Sorry but I had to convert my dates to my way around....I was getting confused. I missed weighing in last week as I've been away for work and when I weighed I was really happy. I didn't hit my goal for this challenge either but still lost 2.5kg (5.6lb) so I am a happy camper.

 

I'm keen for the next challenge as well!

 

SW 09/11/18 - 90.2kg (199lb)

LW 09/25/18 - 88.7kg (195.6lb)

CW 02/11/18 - 87.7kg (193.4lb)

GW 31/10/18 - 86kg (189.6lb)

UGW 31/08/19 - 70kg (155lb)
