Thoughts
I felt like I had a good week. Except for a visit from the Ladybug. My pain levels were averaging 4-6 on my scale of 1-10. But that is pretty normal for me. There were two days that I was just "starving!" And I ended up eating way more than I should have. This week I'll get that under control and get that weight back down before next weigh in. I will!
All of my other goals were good. Even though I didn't reach them, they did their job of motivating me to do more than the week before. I think I'll leave them the same for this week. Striving to meet them, but happy to just improve.
Mentally I've been beating myself up for not doing better. For still weighing this much after two and a half years of trying to lose weight, I'm right where I started. I've made so many positive changes and had a lot of non scale victories, but it would be nice if the scale would just show some movement in the right direction. Honestly, and I know it's not good, I've been considering dropping my calories to 800.
Hi Sarah, I wanted to thank you for continuing to leave such sweet and supportive comments on my blog, especially while I haven't been able to reciprocate. I'm sorry you are feeling discouraged with your weight; I know how challenging it is to lose weight. I think I dropped my calories below 1000 when I was in your situation and it didn't help - sadly, I think our bodies just hold onto weight even more when we do that. Hang in there, you're doing what needs to be done - hopefully your scale will catch up to your actions very soon!
ReplyDeleteThank you. It's just so discouraging.
DeleteI know how frustrating it is to NOT see the scale move but UP but dont try to improve at the expense of your health either, maybe we all focus way to much on the scale and its number instead of focusing on how we feel, how we improve in moving and so forth.
ReplyDeleteLogically, I know what you say is true. I think my key will be in adding more exercise and activity. I just had a really bad eating week and it made me feel blahs and yucky and a bit guilty for eating so bad.
