Frustrations...

I am good all day at work, then I come home, and most nights I am good, but ended up drinking coke with food, cuz there is no tea and I am too tired to make any..I do great drinking water at work but when I get home I want something with some taste to it. Then the weekends hit, and I am terrible at everything...I either eat too much or don't hardly eat anything, I barely drink anything and it is frustrating to say the least. I know I need to drink water, but I just don't get around to it..
Why does being home with the family have to make things more difficult??
Why has my weight went up despite doing better than I was when I was at home all day every day?? WHY is is bouncing up and down between 250 and 260 and not doing anything else??
I am just so aggravated with the scale right now so here is the deal. After my dr appt at 10 I am not going to weight myself for a while. I am going to try to go on physical fitness or whatever you want to call it. I am going to go by how I feel instead of what I weigh. I mean I am doing so much better with activity and have more energy (not boundless amounts or anything but more than before) that I am going to concentrate on that. SO From now until Feb 1st i won't weigh, then I will make my weigh in's monthly for a little while and see if maybe (PLEASE GOD) maybe I can see a drop on the scale. RIght now I am behind on my goal of losing 50 lb by Dec 31st. I need to really take control of my life, and I can't do that when I am good all week then boom the scale goes up and not down, cuz then I get mad, and what do I do when I am mad, I eat.
Okay.........So now I need to go eat cuz I haven't had bfast yet and I am getting pretty hungry!! Nice to be off work today, and get my cuddle time with ds, maybe that will make the whole day better!!

I am completely with you...I'm frustrated myself and in the very same position.
I hear you on the weekends. You are a mother, as am I (of three) and I know we always come last. That is the way of it I guess.
What I've started doing is allowing my weekends to be my "down" time. I don't work out on weekends - I instead do 5 days a week during the week. I stay active on weekends - but more with my kids and such.
I also allow myself to have soda with dinner. It gets it out of my system. Weekends are a little for "treats" I think. If it just that - little.
As for water - that is a tough one. Try making up water ahead in a gallon jug and adding some lemons, oranges, or something tasty to it. Maybe even use 2 liter bottles so it "feels" like soda. We also add a VERY small portion of Granadine to water on the weekends (call it Grana-water) to make it taste like cherry water. Kinda like fruit-2-o but with no artificial sweeteners.
All I have to do for inspiration is look to my kids. If I find myself "munching" or not being good - I try to look at my eldest daughter who I know will fight her weight most of her life, and think if I'm setting that example I'm striving to set.
It is a wonder what feeling like your are on "display" does to you. Then I feel more accountable for my weekends. When I relax I start to stray off the program - when I'm at work and busy I don't. So it is good to think about the kids to keep the busy part going even on the weekends...
Hope this helps a tiny bit,

Thanks everyone. Well I am a bit more frustrated since going to the dr. Their scale said 258, hasn't said that in a while. I didn't even bring it up with him as he was so concerned with the chest pain and all I have been having. I am on antibiotics for 2 weeks and he wants me to go to a cardiologist to rule out my heart just to be safe. He doesn't think it is my heart but cuz it has been going on for so long he wants to be safe.
All this walking and trying so hard to be good (I have been taking my lunch so i won't eat out) and no results..makes me want to give up but I REFUSE to do that. SO I will change my ticker, and I will start again from his weight and I will give it a while and see what happens. i will concentrate on how I feel versus those pesky numbers.

Angela,
What I admire about you so much is that you demonstrate so much determination and courage.
You hang in there over and over, and you don't give up.
I truly believe that if you stay with the program - walking as you can; drinking your water; making healthier eating choices- you will get where you want to go.
I think you are someone whose life will never be easy - I don't know why that is for some people, but it seems like it is. But what I think is going to carry you through is your great attitude.
Best wishes

What kind of chest pain have you been having??
I get pain in my chest OFTEN!!! Mine is usually RIGHT in the center...like there's something wrong with my breast bone...The Dr. said that the cartlidge around my breast bone gets inflamed...so I take an anti-inflammatory for a few days and it's gone...
I don't know if that info applies, but good luck to you :)

Hi Kim,
Angela, I came back looking for my post but apparently the internet ate it :(
I understand where you're coming from. I do really well at work then screw up at home. Solution? Sorry I haven't figured it out myself. Still struggling big time (read my post to Dani).
