This is one BAD week........

OK so I didn't go to the WW meeting Tue night like I was planning instead I skipped & went out for Mexican & ate way to much. I think that is the equivalent of an alcoholic skipping a AA meeting & going out & getting plastered. *sigh*  Then I kept binging all week!  It has been a very stressful week & one that also made me want to make sure everyone gets healthy. 

Yesterday my BIL who is only 28 had a heart attack scare. He fell down the stairs w/ chest pains & couldn't get up. my SIL called 911 & the ambulance rushed him to the hospital where they verified that his heart did release the protein that it does when it has a heart attack but they thought maybe it was just some pressure built up around the heart because he is only 28.  So they did an ultra sound to check for pressure & there was none so it was back to being ruled a heart attack but they had to do the angeogram to make sure & the did that & his heart looked perfect nothing wrong. So they out ruled the heart attack & kept him overnight told him that what every virus he has, plus not taking his blood pressure meds & not using his cpap at night placed the stress on his heart so it released the protein. BUT THEN they said his faintness & passing out was due to dehydration & after being hooked up to an IV all day it happened again & his heart rate dropped down to 34 & so now they are keeping him overnight again for observation. They are now saying it maybe "Tachy Brady Syndrome" I tried to look it up today & the only fix I found is that you fix that by getting a pacemaker. HE IS ONLY 28!!!!!!!!!!!  My DH Mom's side of the family had bad hearts but they are also on the heavy side. So how much of it is health that is over working the heart or is it just a weak heart w/ heart disease to begin with. 

I told my DH that "THAT'S IT!! We are all getting healthy now!" Then I spent the last two days eating & eating & eating to try to relieve the stress.  I weighed myself tonight to see a terrible 168.8 I am only 2.2 lbs down from my original weight 6 weeks ago. I am so frustrated!! I gained all this back in just 2 short weeks it all started w/ Easter & then Vacation. But I want this to be it I need to get back on the bandwagon & not give up.  Mr. Will Power had dumped me & didn't leave any forwarding information.
