So I had a very negative post yesterday and it apparently caught up to me in the afternoon. I went on a low cal snack binge. It was not good! I got into such a negative frame of mind after writing that post and I just couldn't fight it. I need to get past the negativity. So I am not happy with what I look like, isn't that why I am doing this?To be happy in my skin....I know I can do this and I need to stay away from the negative feeling. Bad days aren't everything, they are well out numbered by the good and I have lost over 25 pounds since the day I delivered my daughter almost 7 months ago. It took me alot longer to put all this weight on, I should be proud of myself. I AM proud of myself, I guess I just wish it was easier and faster! Don't we all.
Thank you for all the comments later, it is amazing how we all kind of struggle with the same things. It is very comforting to know that I am not alone in these feelings. Today will be better.
You are SO right...you're NOT alone!! Keep your head up & move forward, YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!
ReplyDeleteI missed your post yesterday so just went back and read it and you are definitely not alone. Even though I have lost 80 pounds I realized last night that I have no idea how to dress myself anymore nor do I think I look good in tighter fitting clothes. Where I feel my best is in sweats and a sweatshirt and some how I am going to have to come out of my shell and accept where my body is going. One thing that helped me is to find something else I wanted to lose weight for. I know that sounds weird because everyone says you should lose weight for you but to be honest I didn't have enough fight in me to fight for myself. I always found that I if I had to chose me over food I would always chose food. Not sure why, probably because I didn't have enough self confidence or self respect but it is what it is. So now I am losing weight for another reason and that is what keeps me motivated and along the way I have learned to respect myself enough to start caring. Slowly but surely I am realizing that I am doing this for myself even if that wasn't what I was doing in the first place.
