Excuses, Excuses!!! (Venting)

kmariedickinson

Okay, I've had a horrible past 2 weeks. I wish I wasn't the type of person to blame "life": kids, school, work,etc on not being able to lose weight but I now see it is. I'm a single mom with a 6 and 3 year old boys and I'm also in college. I've had back to back exams the past 2 weeks on top of projects for my 6 year olds school. On top of that work and just house hold stuff has kept me from not being able to log my foods or get proper exercise and I can tell I've gained about 3-5'pounds. I feel awful and stressed and after eating dinner tonight I actually tried to make my food come back up because I felt like crap. Tomorrow is a new day and I have to get back on my diet to hit my goal. I'm just in a depressed state over everything and needed to vent. I hate when I have good weeks and am losing weight and making smart choices and then I have 1-2 bad weeks where I don't eat properly and have literally no time to exercise! I need to find a balance or a schedule.

You can do this! Mounds like you've got a lot on your plate at the moment but you will get through it!

Being a single mom is the hardest job I've ever come across. With college on top of life you have a lot to handle. Don't be too hard on yourself, please! You don't say what your goals are but maybe for a few weeks maintenance is a reasonable expectation. When things calm down at the end of your semester and your child's school year get back into your weight loss routine. You can do this!
