Hi all,
I am feeling very stuck (and as the title says desperate) for some supportive MFP friends. I lost 35 lbs in about 4 months, went on vacation, and never came back for 2 months. When I did return, 3 things happened basically simultaneously that seems to have seriously slow me down. The 1st was a traumatic emotional event we aren't going to get into. The 2nd was winter break from school, and despite the fact I have a ton of spare time I've replaced 90% of it with video games. The 3rd is that I found out I have a heart condition that after a lot of testing we are just 'watching' (I really knew it was there but I guess going to the doctor made it 'real' or something). I am on medication that has made me capable of exercise.
I moved to this town 3 years ago and still haven't made a friend except my toddler, let alone any weight loss pals. I gained 60 lbs on medical bedrest, lost 40, gained 5 back, and would ULTIMATELY like to lose 20 by April 1 when I have alterations for my wedding gown, but will settle for 15. Which means I need to get my butt in gear since I will be approaching my GW. I love exercising, when I was losing it was the best part of my day. I don't mind healthy eating. But lately I have had a small case of the sads, chocolates, and being a quitter 15 minutes into my workout.
I don't really know what I'm asking for. Butt kicking, bickering, friendly hugs? I just know I am down for the count and having a lot of trouble getting back into it. Friend requests encouraged.
