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!!

Hi Angela,

I'm right there with you.

At home when I weighed myself on Tuesday morning before I went into the shower, I was at 252.5 However, the week before at the dr office (with clothes on), I was 257. I want to get below 250 already, it's very frustrating. I, too have not been feeling well and having "chest pains". My dr now has me on blood pressure meds 'cause my bp has been high recently and I've had dizzy spells. However, while talking with a friend and then my uncle last night, they both think it could be GERDS (gastro. issue). Ugh! I go for bloodwork on Monday morning and see the dr again on the 30th. This chest pain is terrible and then wipes me out physically after the "attack" is over.

WE can do this together!!! I also have 2 little boys ( 2 1/2 yrs and 11 months).

Take care.

Iris

Dani, you and SJ are great. You make me feel good, I just wish I could think of myself as you both described! Thank you so much for building me up, you don't know how good it makes me feel to hear someone say things like that about me! THANKS a lot!

Angela,
I'm with many of the other women on here, I don't have the answers but do believe that we all have the strength to loose the weight that we all want to loose. All I can say is just take it day by day. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers. -Susan
