Losing enough where I don't look like a beached whale in a swimsuit.

I'm planning to make a doc appointment, I just have to wait until our staffing levels are higher at work. No one is being approved for time off so I'm having to play it by ear until we get more folks on board. Thanks for the suggestions guys. I appreciate it. :)

It can't hurt. After a decade of this, I'm game to try anything. Most days are bearable but today...today was bad. I'm just grateful I work in an office instead of being on my feet in retail or waiting tables.

I have never done a lick of strength training so I wouldn't know how helpful that would be for me. I'm in agony just sitting at my desk. I had planned on walking at lunch but this has detailed those plans for sure.

I deal with the same. I also have depression as well so between the 2 of them, it's amazing I can get anything accomplished

For me it's a tie between Captain Picard and Captain Sisko

*I* am self-conscious about my body. *I* don't like how it looks and feel it needs to be covered up. (And its cold as a witch's tits here in the Midwest. Swimming is warm weather activity here.) For the time being, walking appears to be my best bet. :)

I think I'll stick to walking. I'm not slim enough to be seen in a swimsuit. Got about 35lbs before that happens.

So far...a cup of coffee for breakfast and an apple for lunch. Probably have another cup for the last 1/2 of my shift and then some kind of dinner. (IDK what, I haven't looked in my pantry yet)

I might look into the possibility of a fitbit when taxmas comes around. Right now I'm kicking about in a paycheck to paycheck sort of a thing.

I can do yoga during winter since cold does not do well by my arthritis. (I'm in Indiana, it's cold as crap here. We have a few months before its decent again) Walking can happen more when spring shows up.

I also have PTSD and ADHD so coffee is an essential for me since I use the caffeine to self medicate. Working on CI is doable (I think). I logged today and I was over my goal by like 1200 plus calories. Which makes me want to eat nothing tomorrow save for drinking coffee so my brain can function. I want to just be not fat.…

I haven't in a really long time. Mine is utterly untreated and complicated by grief.

I do like walking when the weather is decent but winter gives me an extra kick when I'm down because I just can't get out. I am trying to do some gentle yoga in the AM but it's hit or miss for me, again dependant on my mental state. When we are done recovering from the holidays, I can definitely look into doing vitamins…

I'm not seeing a doctor right now. It's a combination of not knowing if I will even have coverage next year thanks to the current political climate and being on contract w/my job. Any time off is time that's unpaid, and I am the breadwinner.

I'd meet at your local police station just to be safe.

Not a clue. Husband seems to think I'm hot so that's something I suppose.

I appreciate it. It's very frustrating when one's brain chemistry gets in the way of trying to make any kind of lifestyle changes. I don't even have a specific weight goal. Just want to get to a point where I can comfortably wear the shirts that were gifted to me by a dear friend who passed away.

Waiting for a call to roll in at work.
