I have to start with..OMG!!! What have I done to myself?! Since my last entry, I had knee surgery and just 3 wks ago I was diagnosed with Adv RA and am in so much pain that I find myself crying at different times each day. Im on Methotrexate and the side effects are unbareable. (kill me now). With all that said. I have been so stressed that I have been Stress Eating like crazy. The last time I logged in here, I weighed 177lbs..now I have gone up to 183.5 ARGH!!!!!!!! Yesterday I went to put on my favorite size 9-10 jeans (that took me so long to lose wt for) and they were skin tight and barely got the zipper up. Needless to say, I was and still am very pist off at what I have done to myself again! back in Feb I had gotten down to the 170's from 198 and was so proud of myself for that accomplishment and now am 183.5. I have a lot of work to do to get back into my favorite jeans and eventually down to around 145-150 lbs. So this morning I logged back in here and hit the Start Over button and reset my weight to 183.5 and logged my food. As soon as im done writing my blog, im going to jump on my eliptical and bike for as long as my RA allows me to. I will log back in later today to log my day. Anyone reading this...I need motivation, so i guess im asking for online buddies. Linda
