I woke up with this cyst/abscess in the back of my throat so I couldn't take my meds or eat anything until this afternoon and only applesauce and only a little liquid cause it feels like I'm choking all the time. I did call my dr at 5am and she call me back at 9 and told me she'll arrange transportation for me to be a walk in being that I'm asthmatic but they couldn't do anything for me so I'm going to the ENT at 4pm tomorrow just have to get through another night and day without eating solids.
My sister said at least it help me lose more weight. . .she's hilarious but I how she put a positive spin on things
TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY STAYING POSITIVE
@gjaholy33 Chicken broth may help, or a warm liquid in general may help you to get something down....not sure why it does, but for me, it does help when my throat is so swollen that it feels like I'm choking, may be worth a shot if you're having that much trouble, hang in there, tomorrow afternoon will be here before you know it.1 -

Addendum to Daily Post Tuesday
Forgot to mention important NSV:
Since I've been going to my doctor's in October I've been over 500lbs and severely asthmatic so I haven't been able to walk the long hallways and usually as soon as I get through the entrance doors I sit in my rollator Walker and roll myself backwards to where I need to go. Well the GOOD NEWS is yesterday I walk all the way to my destination. Baby steps, baby steps but I'm making progress. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE FOR TODAY
Be blessed.

Glorious Gloria ❤👌🏾👌🏾5 -

Yeah I use to have that struggle as well and I use to set an alarm when I was at home to drink a glass every hour until it became a habit.1 -

Exercise:Yes, 15 mins treadmill, 60 mins weight training.
Comments: I'm having one of those days where I can't really seem to get my emotions under control, and that's not really having any other effect other than I'm just mad at myself. Hubby said something that really hit a nerve today and the more I think about what he said, the more angry I get and I don't deal with anger in what I'd consider a normal way, instead of being mad and letting it go, I cry about it and it just makes me more mad, and then more tears come and well, it's just a viscous cycle. Tomorrow is another day, hopefully I'll be less angry when I wake up.
Sending ghost hugs your way.
I know I hate when I can't let things go but overtime I have found a productive way to deal rather than eat my feelings even though there are still some weak moments. ❤

Comments: I'm having one of those days.....
🤗 Big hugs Ashley--- I hate those days when someone you love says something that hurts so much or angers you.... I've been married for long enough to have stock piled those moments unfortunately😆😖. I would talk to him about it after you settle down a bit--- so you don't say anything in the heat of the moment.... advice: talk to him as though he is a child 🤷🏻♀️ IK it sounds demeaning, but it will keep you sane in the moment--- just tell yourself "he didn't know any better---so I will teach him". Start with "You know I really love you--- and when you said "XYZ" it hurt me".
Hope that helps---don't keep it inside though! It will only do damage to you.❤️
PS: THANK YOU SO MUCH for the dill pickle juice advice---OMG that saved me the last couple of days!!! 🙌🤗

YEAH!!! What a great victory Gloria... and I hope your throat is better today. I've had that before and it is miserable.😖😟✨🤗 Get well!!❤️Anyone else have issues with posting last night?
Yes---MFP was super weird yesterday and I had small windows of opportunity it would allow to log in or post---😤😣0 -
Soooo my knees are feeling awful--- have to rethink my workout schedule, which I was super excited about having attained, but now feeling sidelined and do not want injury. I'll have to really watch my diet and tone down my workouts. This will affect my weight loss this week unfortunately.🤷🏻♀️😔
Trying to stay positive though---so stretching and focus on healthy eating. @mg07030 Mary has inspired me to eat more fish and veggies this week!! So haddock and riced cauliflower yesterday and swordfish and brussel sprouts tonight ....some red snapper to this week.👌🏻😋

Awww sweetie.....
I do the same thing! Glad I am not the only one who cries when mad... I don't know why that is my reaction, but I noticed it's mostly when I am mad at someone close to me, who I care about. If it's someone I am not that close to, I can be mad and not cry. But people who's opinions and thoughts matter to me, who I care about and trust, with them, I cry when mad. And yes, it's a vicious cycle.
Does he even know that he said something that hurt you? Did he mean it differently? Did he say it jokingly just to get a rise out of you? Sometimes people say things and don't realize how sensitive you are to it.... Hope you work it out and things are better today!1 -

Exercise: 11,500 steps walking + 5 squats (thought I would give it a shot - my left knee was a little balky but I survived). I somehow got "credit" for walking up 3 flights of steps for walking up the stairs to the mezzanine today.
@CindyJNC1963 That's awesome!! I think 11 stairs might be what counts as a flight....don't quote me on that, my memory doesn't always serve me right....
Awesome job with the squats!! If you don't have pain or any negative effects, it will help strengthen your legs/knees. Really exciting news! Great job!
Thanks!! I felt ok this morning. My quads were a little sore but it was a good sore. I checked my fitbit and it said it counts a rise in elevation of 10 feet as a flight of steps. So, today I did the set of steps twice and got credit for 5 flights of steps (there is a total of 17 steps there).

@SLIMn2016 The thing is, I understand why he said what he said, but some of the other things he said along with it sort of take away the "out of love" message and that's what pisses me off about it. I don't want to discuss it any further with him. He doesn't understand why he said what he said is wrong, I need to SHOW him why it's wrong, and sadly the only way to do that is to say something like that to him that will sound mean even though it's coming from a place of love. I understand how important it is for someone to come to do something on their own terms and he's trying to push me to do something I'm just not ready to do. I think the only way to really explain how I feel is to attack the problem in the same way with something he's not ready to do and I want him to. In reality though, I am trying to let it go, and I'm still pissed today and it's led me down the path today of a headache. I really just need to let it go and I'm trying, it's just going to take a little time to "heal", as with all things.

And sadly, I've been married long enough to have a stockpile of these things myself ( we're like 3 months away from being married 9 years, wow that sound like a lot) and it just takes me a bit to work through the anger. I realize that to love someone and spend your life with them like this, these things are a normal part of the relationship, I just need to vent, honestly. It helps.
And as for the pickle juice, that helps SO much. I always save all my pickle juice from the jars, even if there's no more pickles, it has come in handy more times than I can count!! And supposedly, you can drink it even if you're fasting because what's left from the pickling process is basically a little flavoring and mostly sodium...I've used it on many fasts.

@tinak33 I believe that hHe 100% meant it in a way that wasn't how it sounded to me or how I took it, he just said some other things along with it that take away from his message and that's really what I'm mad about. He's not necessarily wrong in what he said per se, but the other things he said around it is what I can't handle. Basically the jist of his conversation is he thinks I'm wasting myself at the job I'm at now, that I can make so much more money, and that's where I sort of lost it. I make decent money at my job and I don't want our lives to revolve around money, that's just not who I am. I want us to do things because we want to and he said I couldn't possibly be happy with what I'm doing now, and the truth is, right now I am...and after the horrid last couple of jobs I've had, I'm just not ready to go back to working in hell...and when he said I could make so much more, and be more, I lost it, like somehow I don't make enough or I'm not enough, and while logically I know that's not what he meant, it felt like it and I'm not ready to revisit this with him until I can get past my emotional response and have a logical discussion that isn't going to result in shouting, which is where I am now.3 -

Once again no food with exception one applesauce. Had 3 Dr appts today with the last one being for this mass on my throat and he just said it's a viral infection and he cannot explain why I keep getting it every year since I move in my apartment but at least he cleaned my ears as well😅. So I googled and put 2x2 together and figured out the Gabapentin pills that I took for pain before I went to bed the night before has a side affect of viral infection. So got antibiotics and I'm hitting the hay hopefully the swelling will be down enough to eat tomorrow. Cause 2 days of not eating is horrible. 😥😥
My Pulmonologist just raise the bar a little higher for me; he said if I lose 150lbs by my surgery date than he agrees there is no reason to go forward with the Baraitric surgery 👍🏾👌🏾since by my progress already soon I'll be off the CPAP machine granted I stay on course in the next 4 months.👌🏾👌🏾👏🏾👏🏾7 -

Was really thirsty today. Hoping thats the last of the sodium insanity! Haha I had no idea I would be affected like this... I have eaten high sodium foods plenty of times. Weird.
Regardless, I am feeling a lot better and less bloated. Hopefully my weight gets back on track ( and goes down!). 😁3 -
