Day 22
Calories: 1,168
Protein: 63
Water: 92
Vitamins: yes
Movement: only at work
Weekly weigh: 187
I only lost .8 pound this week, so I'd better stick to the plan more closely.
On another note, my weight today is now the same as the lowest weight I got to after VSG surgery, before I started gaining again.

So I have totally derailed and feel horrible about it. This is the worst I've been since surgery June of 2020 and it worries me. Not eating healthy at all but today I am trying to get it together. One thing that has been going on besides family issues is that I lowered my Paxil from 30 mg to 20 and I don't think that is a good idea. I feel high anxiety again. So by trying to go off Paxil because it is a weight gainer, I am eating more from anxiety. Makes no sense. I am going to contact my doctor and let him know I will go back on 30 for now and maybe revisit the 20 mg at another time when I am not so stressed out.
My levothyroxine level was changed as well so probably best not to do the Paxil change at the same time as the thyroid hormone.
I haven't been exercising either so I will work on bringing that back in to the fold. Will try to get out for short walks again if it isn't too cold and windy.
I know it is time to concentrate on myself. What is it that I always say?.... I know, "You can't pour from an empty cup."

You got this! Sorry you are going through a rough time but you can rise up and do what's best for you. You have done it in the past. Good luck, I am rooting for you.

Thank you Kcuster. Doing better today. Threw some unhealthy food away which shouldn't have been in the house anyway! Went to the grocery store and bought healthy options. It's always hard to break bad habits and when you've been good for so long and they resurface it is very frustrating. Thank you for the support.
Oh, Judy, I am so glad to see you back! I was worried about you.
Please don't feel terrible about eating badly. It's so easy to do. I spent months after my surgery eating and drinking (Pepsi) all the wrong things.
February challenge is still here, waiting for you to join in the fun!
Day 25
Calories: 1,340
Protein: 49
Water: 84
Vitamins: not yet
Movement: only at work
Today was tough. My 27 year old son was admitted into the hospital. It's both his kidney and his gall bladder.
They're going to run more tests in the morning to see if surgery is appropriate. I feel so useless. Because of Covid, he could only have one visitor, and that was his fiancee, naturally.

I don't see why she couldn't step aside for a few hours and let you visit him every few days! Good luck, I wish him and all of you the best.
Day 27
Calories: I stopped counting.
Protein: over 60
Water: over 60
Vitamins: yes
Movement: none
I broke down yesterday and gave into my craving for KFC. I had an extra crispy chicken breast and mashed potatoes with gravy.
Afterward, I felt positively nauseous and had to take Tums for acid reflux. Why did I do that to myself? In any event, I am back on plan today.

My son's fiancee would surely have let me go in, but the rules weren't one person at a time. The hospital allowed only one person (the same person) per day. So even if she left, I would not be allowed in.
Thank you for your good wishes.
