Yelena'sNewLife's Journal, 18 Apr 23

Oh no..what's happened. 🥺 

what happened sweetie?  

Last year I was very ill with covid. And sence I have very low energy levels, headaches got worse and it is very difficult to go into the routine of the good habits. I do eat healthy, I do not eat takeaways, but I stopped keeping the food diary. Also I need to control my portion sizes. But for all this I do need concentration ( which I have not got as I have constant headaches). Before I was 92 kg. On 17th of April I was 98 kg. Today I checked my weight and it is 96 kg. Also I do feel very emotional as I don't want my 120 kg back.  

You have done very well to get to 96kg. Give yourself a lot credit for that. I think its quite normal to have some 'rebound' weight after you hit your lowest weight. And you are quite entitled to feel concerned about this. Yes, things are different now, after covid. So, you must regroup, think of a new strategy and don't panic. You have already identified 2 problem areas (food diary and portion sizes) Take control back!! You can do it. We are right behind you!! 

Sending u a massive hug xx 

Thank you, Anne , for your lovely comment. Yes, it make sense, that I already identified 2 problems. So I can start from these two ( MUST to control my portion sizes and start to write down a food diary , which it is easy to do here on FatSecret ) . You see, it is very good to read all comments on my posts, as other people can see what I might missing , or not taking as a big issues, or problems. So, Anne, thank you very much for pointing out to me what I must focus on. With my headaches it so easy to loose things, on which I must be focusing on.  

Poor sausage.Don’t beat yourself up about it.You’ve come along way.Have a break , get your thoughts in order,pick yourself up,shake the dust off of you,and continuo.They say a break is as good as a change don’t they? Now you also have lots of friends who are cheering you on. See you tomorrow 😀

Hello Mel, it is very seeing you back. 😊 I would love to have someone who is a good listener. With my headaches, not thinking straight and poor concentration it is very difficult to keep myself in the good habits ( I do need someone who can point out thing where I am doing wrong or encourage me ).  

Thank you , heatherboardman, for warm wishes and your support 😀 

Yes indeed, oggicesole , we do get lots so support and lovely warm commitment from our friends here on this site. I do feel I need a break, I need warmth somewhere by the sea. But, I am waiting for an op. You are right, I do need to sort my thoughts out too. Thank you, oggicesole, for your support. 😀 

hey Yelena! I js wanted to reach out and say, ur not alone...I also had the 'original' Covid virus and nearly died, even now my energy is still not 100%, my concentration and my eyesight were all affected, please get an eye test, myself and my daughters eyesight was badly affected because of covid and we both wear glasses now, didn't before, a good multi vitamin, iron, vitB12, vitC and a super 6 mushroom complex have all helped me get back on my feet. Can I also ask if uv had allergy testing done? might explain the headaches?
