Yep, it is time to grow up. Time to take charge. Time to do the right thing and I know what it is.
I have severe arthritis in my knees. It hurts like -- just add whatever descriptive word you prefer here.
I have had cortisone shots, had fluid drained, done exercise, rubbed it with all manner of "stuff" and, while it helps, it isn't a "fix". I feel sure that the only "fix" is surgery but I don't want to do that.
The thing that I keep hearing is lose weight. I need to lose weight. I have needed to lose weight for years.
I know that the only thing that is going to help my knees is weight loss.
I have been doing the moderation thing, I have been using a couple of visuals to keep my eating under control and it was working. I lost 9 lbs. I didn't count anything, journal anything -- nothing -- just eating when I was hungry, not eating when I wasn't and trying to make good choices.
Then came the Girl Scout cookies. I'll just leave that here.
Tomorrow I have to go back to "the plan". I have to do this or I won't be able to walk. I am not being over-reactive in saying that. It is a fact that I have to face and if I don't do something about it that is what my future holds.
So, here I go!
PS -- I gave up soda and never went back surely I can give up cookies!
