Unhappy

Oh HarrieCanarie, I was hoping no one would think to ask me
how I'm doing now. I laughed when I read the date on my
original post. Nothing has changed, except for my frustration
level.

I am still very tired. I continue to gain weight. I do not
recognize myself in the mirror. It is now definitely some kind of
vicious cycle. I need to exercise and the extra weight makes it
harder to do so. Two weeks ago I sprained my ankle (new bi-focals)
and then sprained it again yesterday.

I've been able to lose some weight if I am extremely careful about
what I eat. But I gain it back quickly in one weekend with what I
call "normal" eating. I have become a Monday morning dieter.
Yesterday (another Monday) I started a new plan ... back to living
on salads, veggies and protein along with short walks around the
block (wearing my elastic thingie on my ankle and my old glasses.)
I hope I can stick with it. Thanks for asking
