How Are You Feeling Right Now?

I keep eating. I have sabotaged my weight loss journey. I have the hungry urge. Some was due to the prednisone but I have been off prednisone for 5 days. But I am always hungry. I had lost 50 pounds but I have gained 10. This may be the wrong forum to complain but I’m worried about my weight. And I’m binge eating and somehow got to stop. Very frustrating.

Can't help but be concerned about my ability to continue to exist in this world. Energy provider wants almost a 30% increase next year and 12% in 2026. Mostly for green energy stuff and to discourage use of natural gas. I can't afford this. Most people I know can't. I'm not sure I want to exist anymore.
I understand being overwhelmed by the energy bill.

May I make a suggestion? Here in Texas, there is a state run program that helps people pay their utilities. Its a big hassle to apply but its worth it. Its called Texas Council of Governments. Perhaps there is a similar program in your State? They might be able to help.

Oh I do so relate to this! I've lost 33 and gained 5 back. I know why, my WW food logs show why. But yet I don't stop.

The only thing I can suggest is to stock foods low in calories that you like for those snack attacks.

Managing weight is a big issue, SF does support folks either trying to lose or to gain or maintain.

Swinging all over the place. Struggled to sleep again, which isn't helping. Woke at 5am and then got back to sleep but at about 8.30am woke up feeling like I'd been hit by a truck, feeling tired, restless, broken and hopeless. Felt finished and trapped. Also felt extremely warm and temperature is only 16C.

Had a few coffees and started to get a little perspective (and cooled down). I've had a very busy long week with multiple frustrations and stresses, I'm bound to be tired, now have a chance to sit back and try not to worry for 3 days, there's nothing I can do about anything just now except try to self care and recharge somehow before it all starts again next week.

I have to remember how bad I felt 2 weeks ago and what my body has been going through. Every day is a victory at the moment, have to try to chalk up the small successes. Sometimes getting through the next 5 minutes is a win.
