Well, I am depressed today.
Since 03/10/08 ~ seems that I keep losing/regaining the same 5 lbs. 175 to 173 to 171 to 173 to 174 to 172 to 171 to 173 to 174.
I know it's because of the Lymphedema (I am always full of differing amounts of fluid) but it's still so discouraging. So I have decided not to weigh myself daily anymore. Maybe every 2 weeks? Or monthly? What do you think?
I haven't taken any measurements, maybe I should. My boob size is always a great indication of my weight too! When I'm fat, I'm a D. When I'm average, I'm a C. When I'm very thin, I'm a B. During chemo, I was an A! (and loved it!)
And for ALL of my "exercise goals", the ONLY exercise that I managed to do was the 20 minutes on the elliptical. Nothing else. But it was a really busy day. My boss was on my back all day about this and that. And I will do better today.
And the Hypnotherapist was AWESOME. I booked 2 more appts. I tried a different one last week but she sucked. This woman is amazing and it was like psychotherapy (even tho she says it's not) - I mean she already helped me get down to the root of my food issues. And she says it will be "effortless" for me to stop craving sugar (all sugars including carbs & wine) and she's going to help me with being more motivated to work-out and drink more water, etc.
She says all of the Olympic Athletes have hypnotherapists, even Tiger Woods attributes much of his success to having his own private hypnotherapist since age 14! Wow. She only been doing this 3 years (was inspired when hypnotherapy changed her life) but she WAS a therapist of some sort before this, and has also worked as a hospital administrator and for Jenny Craig and is familiar with Atkins so that's why she is so good and perfect for me. She’s in Walnut Creek.
AND she gave me a CD of our session so I can listen again anytime I want! Cool.
Anyway, I did stay on track with food and water so that's a positive! Yay!
How is everyone else doing?
