Ever feel like a failure?

[agirlwithatoy]

....everything diet wise is going fine....but I think I am just in one of those bad places where I feel like I should not have gotten here in the first place.

....do you guys spend days kicking yourselves like I do....knowing that life is great....but can't just seem to shake a blue day?

I WANT CHOCOLATE!!!!! ...instead I am drinking water....

Re: Ever feel like a failure?

Nope, nope and nope. Stay focused and quit thinking of chocolate's and stuff. The more you think, the more you will crave and the more likely you are to fail. Keep thinking about that chocolate cake and you will without even realizing it. Think positive thoughts and stay true to yourself. God Bless, joe

Christa, hang in there get you some safe foods and eat till you cant eat no more. I have found that L-glutamine helps with the sugar cravings. If you need support we are all here for you. After a while it will be like second nature.

Here is a suggestion for you I dont know if you like root beer floats? Diet soda, and make some whip cream with heavy cream and splenda whip it till its nice and thick put it in a cup and put root beer on top its very filling. I have been doing that lately due to just feeling like I " need some thing sweet" I am not craveing but I just need it for what ever reason.


Hang in there

Re: Ever feel like a failure?

thanks you guys. shook out of it....i was not hungry....just emotional....and I hate that.

I realized that I was hoping that the worst would not happen instead of really seeing the good that is already and the good to come.

My son starts Kindergarten this week -and I think I am a bit wigged out.

all good.

He and I made splenda homemade ice cream....heavy on the cream...and I had a touch. He ate himself silly.

Doing better today.

Re: Ever feel like a failure?

I do Christa, I hear you. Before we started having kids I was 232 and I lost 100lbs and was down to 132. I became bullimic and my relationship with my husband when down the tubes. I came up to a healthy weight of 150 and stayed there and life was good. Then I had my first baby. I was 223 at 40weeks. After she was born I got down to 195 and then found my self PG again with twins to boot. I went to 39 weeks with the twins and weighted 253. I quickly lost the twin weight it was no problem and practically zero effort. But I hovered at 200 and couldn't drop the weight from my first baby and THAT feels like a huge mistake. Not the baby...but the weight gain. But I also believe you have to listen to your body. I was in a mess of a circumstance with the first pregnancy and yet I carried a beautiful, perfect;y healthy little girl, born 7lbs 12oz. My body did what it needed to do. Now I need to do what I need to do.

I hear you - but living in the past will KILL your spirit. Keep you mind in the game. Learn from life's lessons. Maybe there is a reason we are going through this. Maybe it will prevent a storke we never knew we were going to have. Maybe we will learn something new, or meet someone new. I believe in fate and destiny. This is where I am suppossed to be TODAY.

Hugs, So happy you aren't hitting the chocolate!
