Seasonal Affectiveness Disorder
Hi all, I have SAD, and am having a very, very hard time right now. Anyone else have this issue? I'm so unmotivated, and craving all the wrong things. This is not helped by the fact that I'm having my first sciatica flare up in years and am stressed out in general....blah blah blah. I want to feel like this: :flowerforyou:…

Team
Today when I picked up my son from wrestling practice, the coach was talking about how they are a team and how a team is a group of people who support each other. They are friends on and off the mat. That they are each other shoulder and backbone. There is no wrong question. He brought this up because a couple of the boys…

Oh, but why am I so weak!
Had a bad day today...picked at my girls left over Chips (fries) in the cafe at lunch time, picked at their left over pasta and meatballs at tea time before I managed to throw it in the bin and ate a piece of left over chocolate torte (basically chocolate goo). I've eaten really healthy meals the rest of the day....but I…

I splurged tonight but dont feel bad about it
Normally in the past when I was on a diet, I would feel bad about splurging, but I don't feel bad tonight. I already had my fat grams blown way out of proportion so I figured why not. I had me some ice cream after dinner. I know I probably shouldn't have but I will get right back on track in the morning. :) I have already…

Downer
I have my first track meet of the season saturday and i got my new uniform today. New= tight, not broken in waist, but the super elastic waist that seems to be everyones enemy. you know, makes all the areas you don't want seen....seen. :explode: So, needless to say, my self-esteem is slightly shot down right now. But on…

Checking in...
I know I'm probably weighing myself far too often already. I signed up here and began recording my foods and exercise this past Monday. So of course I weighed myself on Monday to give me a starting point. I actually managed to stay off the scales on Tuesday, but then I weighed myself yesterday (Wednesday) and again this…

Oh, Man. I need serious motivation.
Okay, so, tonight, I went to an awards ceremony. And ended up eating 1400 calories more than I was suppossed to for the WHOLE DAY. I feel horrible, guilty. But it's all the high-calorie foods. Jeez, I keep trying to tell myself it's okay, but I know it's not. I almost feel like quitting sometimes, and I've only been on…

Fell off the wagon
My grandma died last week and I hosted Thanksgiving dinner. Given the circumstances, Thanksgiving dinner came off fantastic. Unfortunately I stuffed myself thursday through Sunday. I'm afraid to get on the scale. I think I just undid everything I had accomplished before Thanksgiving. :cry:

Feeling very negative...beware
So I gained 5 pounds recently, maybe more now because I haven't weighed myself in awhile. Anyway, thats the problem with me. If I have one bad day it turns into a week,and than a month. Gaining one pound turns into 5 and than 10. And now I am probably only 5 pounds away from going back to my original weight. All that work…

I look at obese and morbidly obese (i weigh in at around 165lbs at 5ft3 and thus count in the UK as overweight but not obese, *just* tipped over a size 14 [US 18?]) people and think well, jesus christ, I'm not that big, im quite normal really! moreover, having…

Feeling discouraged...
I lost 15 lbs over the course of a couple months. I was so happy with myself. Although, in the last two weeks I gained 5 lbs! I am so sad right now. It feels like I will never reach my goal if i keep this up. Can anyone relate or offer words of encouragement?

What makes you over eat?
I have read time and time again that overeaters usually eat because of some kind of emotional strain. If we can find what's missing in our life maybe we can finally overcome this vicious cycle of eat-gain-diet-lose . Ok so I gave it some serious thought and came to the conclusion that I have been giving,giving, giving to…

Off to a great start for Thanksgiving
So far so great today!! Went on 2 1/2 hour mountain bike ride with family early this morning. Earned an extra 904 calories for today :tongue: (logged 60 minutes mountain biking and 45 minutes easy pace so the 904 should be well below the actual calories burned). It's already 2 in the afternoon and heading to brothers for…

I'm a loser!!! Hooray!

Just thought I'd share my happiness of the day. :) Now if I can just get through Thanksgiving and not outgrow them in just one day of…

Surround yourself with the positive
If you put yourself in a positive frame of mind, you can accomplish anything. If you can clearly see your goal, see that it’s within your grasp, there’s nothing stopping you. That’s why surrounding yourself with positive images and visual reminders can be just what the doctor ordered. You may already have an inner voice…

Hey, I blew it this weekend!
I went hunting with my boyfriend, and partied and ate too much. Now I feel totally defeated. I went and ran this evening and barely made it, and I averaged a 10 in. mile. Not good. I'm running a 5k on Thanksgiving, and it was my goal to average a 8.5 min. mile. Wonder if it will happen. Anyways-I think I learned a good…
