I can't BELIEVE IT!! Not dating related

but still, I can't believe that since i've been working out of my home, my body is starting to mush! I'm getting flabby everywhere and I now have a small pouch on my stomach where my six pack once was! I have only 4 weeks left to look the greatest EVER and I have my first flab!!! ARGH! I need to start working out, but the worst is, I don't feel like it! I'm depressed and want to be left alone, don't want to do anything. Super GREAT! On the other hand, I want to look like a knock out for the holidays when I see all the people I've been wanting to see! I feel like an old maid right now. I'm frustrated. I know I had to work out now to look great, but I've never had to do it! I guess the age is finally catching up. Groan.......I know it sounds so petty! Especially because some people always have to work out to keep the weight off. I guess, I'm just frustrated, depressed and hating the idea of stepping out of my house. Hence the no dating right now.

Hey, at least you can see it and acknowledge how you feel. Some of us have done that for years. I am paying the Piper now... I work out constantly to get my body back. Hang in there and be kind to yourself as you would your best friend. This is the best way to work through things. IMHO

OK I keep posting on different topics that I can't resist & never finding the time to introduce myself...I will do that in a minute but must respond here...


Working at home is the devil!!


I have been doing it for about 1.5 years now- yes it is a blessing in some ways but I find it to be much more of a CURSE.


Is this how you feel?

Oh my GOSH!!! You are talking from my Heart! Everything you said is sooo true! My job is extremely demanding and I run a global marketing department. I find myself working 60-70 hours a week, no one to talk to all day, disconnected because I have no office here to connect with people. I find myself sometimes dropping into the client office every two month just to sit and listen to people. My house is a MESS! And yes, I ask myself everyday HOW CAN THAT BE??? I don't even love my job as I once did! I've been home now for over a year and it's OVERRATED!!! Thank you so much for reaching out to me! I just can't seem to want to do anything anymore. Im just depresssed and I used to be so fit and happy and ok with everything. I love being home with my kids when they come home, but I see them AFTER I open my office door and only hear them come into the door. GEESH! I so appreciate that you delurked to say hello and hope you'll stick around to listen to my "whine" with cheese! So feel free to delurk now and tell me about yourself! Thanks so much for reaching out!

I know what you mean about the weight going on when you work at home. I hate the circumstances that made me lose my daycare (house fire) but working outside the home I dropped from a nine to a three. (((HUGS))) You had the body to begin with so I know you ca get it back.

Oh babe, I hear ya! I've got the xmas party in 2.5 weeks and need to lose that five pounds that crept on over the summer.. ya, figure THAT one out... Just thinking that if I do AT LEAST 20 mins a day, that will be better than nothing. And using weights instead of just cardio helps sculpt faster :)
