Quote: Is there an upside, besides wearing a smaller size, to weighing less? Are you under doctors orders to lose and keep off the weight?
I wasn't under a dr. order to lose the weight but at 5' tall carrying 50 extra pounds was taking it's toll on me physically. When I did lose it all, my Dr. was very positive about the change.
H likes the change, I think. I mean, I don't think he'd like me to gain it back. I need to lighten up though on everything...find my funny bone again. I feel like I have a logical brain and a emotional brain. My logical brain tells me that I can go ahead and have that piece of cake and I am not going to gain 50 lbs overnight. My emotional brain is afraid I won't stop at one piece.....My logical brain tells me that the laundry piling up and the dishes in the sink do not equate failure as a mom and wife...that I can go shut the door and spend time with H. Then my emotional brain takes over and fills me up with "shoulds" and I get confused.
