In A Funk

My weight is still going down, it was up this weekend a bit, but I was taking a lot of cold meds and drinking liquids constantly. This morning I was back down to my 203. I know I am doing well and the weight is still trending down. Up until the last couple weeks I was an avid calorie counter and exercised 3-5 days a week. Since my Grandmother passed away on the 17th and life has been crazy with the services, family from other states visiting and then my catching a killer cold that lead to Bronchitis, I have been in a funk and totally not into counting calories and can't work out because of the bronchits (can barely breath).

 

Being like this scares me. I am afraid that if I become lax now my weight will go back up and I will lose what I have worked so hard for. Yeah, I know my Grandma wouldn't want me to do that. But, it's not just losing her it's everything that has happened in the last 2 weeks. I am exhausted all I want to do is sleep. I don't believe I am depressed (already on Paxil) I think it's just the being sick and not getting enough oxygen from clogged airways. I can't afford to miss work so I am working every day and going home to the couch. I am eating basically whatever is fast and easy to fix because I am to tired to do much else.

 

I gotta get out of this, I want don't want to fail myself or my band.

Oh, please don't be so hard on yourself. You are still human and don't need to be "perfect" with the band. Right now, your body needs rest and nourishment to get over the bronchitis and stress issues. Please focus on getting that part healthy. I wouldn't go out and order Big Macs and chocolate shakes but continue to make good food choices and focus more on getting healthy rather than beating yourself up.

You cannot exercise now since you cannot breathe easily. Perhaps, as able, go for walks to help get rid of the funk and to get moving without over exherting yourself.

Hang in there... it sounds like you are doing just fine given the circumstances.
