Stuck in reverse

I hate my body.  And it hates me.  I have put on 4lbs (so far) this week.  4lbs.  This is my daily diet at the moment:

Breakfast – nothing (although today I had a coffee)
Lunch – a large glass of V8
Dinner – half a carton of soup and an ice lolly

I worked out I’m having 500-600 calories a day.  And I’m putting on roughly ¾ lb every day.  How can that even be possible?

I’m back at work now.  I feel fine until late afternoon, when I start feeling nauseous – at least I have done today on my first day back.  I can’t be ill any longer or until next summer – I’ve already triggered a warning.  And any medical appointment counts towards the tally of four days a year until it’s a disciplinary matter.  Fortunately I’m allowed to use my flexi time to go to appointments, because I’ll need to go once a month for fills to the band (I haven’t told people what my op was – in fact, most just know I was off sick).  This is why I haven’t been to the dentist for 8 years.  Even taking flexi for medical appointments is frowned upon.  I am not feeling very motivated or very valued at the moment!

Presume that some of the drop after the op was water - hence the gain now. You have to keep hydrated anyway (for your health), so no point getting despondent about that!

At least you’re feeling a bit better. Things are bound to be a bit unsettled at first, but the downwards trajectory will be back soon. Courage!

I know you’re right - but I still feel annoyed about it!

Peridot said...

Yes, courage. I am gritting my teeth. And moaning!

It will level out and then start going downwards - stay strong, it'll happen. I'm glad to hear you're back in the land of the disgruntled well again. Lxx
