Washingtonmama's Journal, 03 July 2010

Ahhh.......I read your entry and just wanted to say....I TOTALLY feel for you!!!!! I can completely relate to the feeling crappy and down thing. BUT DONT GIVE UP!!! I have to say....this whole how many calories IN ...how many should I burn......what works ....what doesn't?!?!?! Makes MY head spin personally. I actually joined a gym in may sometime....right away was hitting the gym 5 days a week......thought I was watching what I ate.....and nothing. Then I found this site.....and I have to truly say the logging EVERYTHING I eat.....has really kinda helped me. Even once I started that.....it seemed a LONG progress. I am NO expert....down ten pounds in well over a month. I ALSO have had many days of wanting to quit.... But I have to say I am beginning to see light at the end of the tunnel!!! And I also have been an emotional eater. But the one thing I have really learned lately....FOOD isn't to be hated. It's soooooooooo needed to fuel our bodies....my problem is when I choose BAD foods....and don't stop when I am full....just keep going and going!!! But I feel I am starting to get a handle on that!!!! Give yourself a break......don't be so hard on yourself. You are nursing? You obviously have a baby depending on you....which is a LOT to deal with right there. I'm totally here for you....if you want!!!! Cuz like I said I read your entry....and thought "been there!!!!" ps.....also have been erked with the husband.....instead of eating....I did extra time at gym!!! Lol. Figure I'll try and get thinner to spite him!!!!! Lol Hang in there!!!!!! It WILL get better!!!!  

LOL Klannoye! Good idea to go to the gym instead so you can get thinner to spite hubby! hehe Washingtonmama....*HUGS* I am here for ya chicka! It is so hard to stay on the right track. Just do what you can and know that your not alone. You are right....tomorrow IS another day! I have my good days and then I have my bad days where I eat more junk. You can DO this...but changing our habits is the hard part. I threatened myself with the surgery at the end of 2011 if I was not at least on the ROAD to my goal weight. It was the kick in the butt I needed. You just have to find out what will be your kick in the butt and then it will get easier. I try to push myself just a little bit outside of my comfort zone each day. That has kept me going. Ive been frustrated with DH also...I work 2 jobs and sometimes I still have to come home to figure out whats going to be for dinner. *sigh* So I can understand you there. If you ever want to talk just shoot me a message. If you want my email/cell just let me know. :) I will PM you. We can be txt buddies if you want. Anything I can do to help....Im here :) *HUGS*
