Default Yesterday just sucked

So I had a dr appt. I have a severe ear infection in my right ear. My right temple is swollen and its also swollen down along my jaw line. I have antibiotics and some medicine for pain that makes me sleeeeeeepy.

I got on the scale and discovered that since June 15, 2006 I have gained a total of 73 friggin' pounds!

So I was panicking and upset so I went and got my hair chopped off. It was down my back to my bra strap, now the longest part of it is only down to my chin.

I have exactly two outfits left that fit and I don't want to buy anymore because I want to lose this weight. Plus I realized that I am only two sizes away from having to shop in the plus sized department.

I know that its what on the INSIDE that counts, but I really just want to be pretty again.

*sigh*

I can totally relate to you. the last 2 weeks have been very hard for me too....and I also do not have many of my clothes that fit me anymore. some of my cutest tops are too tight, most of my jeans are too tight, and i hate it.

so i can relate. if we were closer, we could hang out and cry together

i hope you get to feeling better. join our "lose weight together" thread. (If you haven't already) we are all trying to lose weight. some want to just lose a few pounds, some want to lose a lot more. we are motivating each other and just trying to keep each other strong.

i'm sure you are beautiful..inside and out. but we are here for you if you need us

oh..and I hope your ear infection and temple get better soon...that has to really hurt!!! do they have you on some strong antibiotics?

He gave me Zithromax. Hopefully it will clear it up. It doesn't seem to hurt as bad this morning.

Of the two outfits that still fit me, they are a tiny bit snug, but still fit and I REFUSE to buy a size bigger. If I don't hurry and lose enough weight to fit back into my winter clothes I guess I'm going to just freeze to death because the ones that do fit are capris.

Hey girl! yeah sounds like your day sucked! Im sure your haircut is really cute, it just takes some time to get used to such a drastic change!

I get swimmers ear once every couple years and its the ONLY time I actually went to the Emergency Room. I totally hear ya on ear infections, they are HORRIBLE! I got vicadin at the hospital for mine and it did nothing for me, I went and bought tylenol 8 hour and took it every 4 hours... and it worked amazing! much better than vicadin! If you are in pain, try the tylenol... it also reduces swelling

As for the weight gain, well thats quite a bit and as you know pretty unhealthy... but don't let it get you down, let it motivate you! You'll do it, you'll lose the weight! What really helps me is weighing myself often. Over the course of my last relationship (9 years) I had gained 55 pounds. From a size 5 (when I was 19) to a size 14 (at 25). Well I decided to do something about it and lost 30 of those pounds, went to a size 8 and felt much better about myself ... I will never be a size 5 again, and Im ok with that. Im not a girl anymore, my hips filled out and all that good stuff that happens with age. But during the years I gained the weight i never had a scale, so I didnt know. When I decided to lose weight I got a scale. Here it is 4 years later almost and I am within 6lbs of that weight loss. I mean in 4 years Ive gained 6lbs back. But now I am working on losing that 6lbs before it gets to where Im trying to lose 20+ lbs. ya know? (cuz that was HARD!!)

(((HUGS))) to you!!! You sound like you need a hug!

Chin up girl, you'll do it! Im sure you are still pretty and I know you will get back to your old self with a bit of time

First of all I'm sure you're still very pretty. When I lose weight I only do it in 5 lb. incrimantes. I don't tell myself I have to lose 60 lbs. because that blows my mind away. I tell myself I have to lose 5 lbs which isn't hard to do. When I meet my goal I repeat the same thing to myself, and lose another 5 lbs, until I really do lose the weight. It's a psychological thing, but it really works for me. In fact I'm trying to lose 5 lbs. right now.

I am sorry that yesterday was a bad day for you!!! Hope today is much much much better than yesterday.
I used to get bad ear infections, until they put tubes in my ears, now I only get them once in a blue moon. Do you get them often, or just every now and then?

PS: Go check out the new ga meetup info. Thanks

I can so relate to what you are going through. I have really bad panic disorder and anxiety and I gained 50 lbs this past year from the medications I was on, lack of exercise and a poor diet.

I just got a major wake up call two weeks ago when my dr said I had high blood pressure so I got busy on eating better and moving a little more and I've dropped 6 lbs in a week and a half. And better yet, my blood pressure is down enough to where I don't need meds, yay!

You can lose the weight for sure! Maybe start doing small things, like only drink water (if you don't already do that)... then the week after you have done that well, eat an extra fruit or veggie a day.. then keep adding on and before you know it all that weight will come right off!!

I fit into NONE of my old clothes by a long shot, so I went out and got two pairs of pants and a few tops in my current size. I think it's important to feel you look good at whatever size, so don't beat yourself up too much! Maybe go out and get an outfit that makes you feel great at the size you are now.. and when you lose all the weight you can look back and see how far you came!

Thanks, ya'll. I am going to start keeping a food journal and being a little more careful about what I eat. I'm going to push myself harder to work out too. I am just miserable at this weight.

I am feeling better today. It doesn't hurt so bad. I've got a little Poopanut who won't leace my lap and that makes me feel better too.

Sorry you had a sh*ty! I too know the weight story, I put on so much over a 10 year period, then about 2 years ago went to a "diet doctor" and lost it all within about 4 months. I have since put on a couple of kgs, but am watching what I eat and will be "thin" again soon ( hopefully)

You CAN do it, just takes will power ( I dont have much but was determined to loose the weight). I can't tell you how much healthier and more full of life I feel.

It is much easier when you do it with someone else, find a friend that needs to loose weight and do it together!

Good luck and hope you have a great weekend.

Yesterday I was starting to feel a little better, but today it feels like my head and ear are going to explode and the antibiotic is doing a number on my stomach.

Aaarrgghh!!!! WHY do I have to be sick THIS weekend? I have so much I need to get done.
