Good Morning to Everyone.

It has been a hard couple of days for me. I feel down and discouraged and am really having to hush the voice inside my head saying things to me like "You are never going to lose this weight." Your weight is going to keep going up and up. You can never stick to a plan" Yep- and other unhelpful things.

Thank goodness there is another voice that doesnt buy in to the unhelpful voices, but it is tiring and makes everything much harder. I just feel on the verge of tears all the time. I am also up a few pounds.

However- I did go to the gym and did weight this morning and then got myself a green juice which made me feel like I was taking good care of myself. I am going to plan out my next 2 days of meals to help myself out. I am hanging in there!

I hope everyone has a great day!!

    Your profile sounds alot like mine. Trying to lose stubborn 10 lb. If you're like me, they creeped up on your as you hit your 30s maybe? I also have stomach problems and bloating and the feeling of yuckiness that stays with me 4 out of 7 days of the week.

    But don't give up. You're doing great. Going to the gym, planning out your meals, being aware is the best way to do it. You can do this. I have confidence in your ability. I have to because it will help me have confidence in mine.

    You started your day off well, so keep it going. :)
  • Don't give up!! I've been there. I started dieting/exercising in April and after a month or two I was getting really discouraged that I was not seeing results. But I stuck with it and now I can see all the amazing results that I am getting from my hard work. Its hard, but you can do it!! It takes time and you just have to be patient and start telling yourself that YOU CAN do it. Good Luck!

    I have learned to love that voice, I'll never be in good enought shape I'll never get to single diget body fat. that's the voice that really pushes me. because I may never make my goal but that voice I'm going to show it what I can do, I can push though it's now my best friend.
    I can't tell much about it because I don't know anything about a womens body but I do know when you are in good shape some women and put on as much as 5 lbs the week before and the week of your time of the month. Don't get down keep pressing on.
    What's Green juice?

    Thanks so much for your support- I really appreciate it. I am not going to give up but boy- sometimes when I emotionally eat I just feel like crap- physically and emotionally.

    So thanks for the kind words - they help a lot.

    Green Juice- well it was a veggie juice of spinach, parsley, kale and beet. It makes me feel really great to drink it but it can be expensive (4.00) to get it everyday so I try to get it only once in a while. If you dont like it as "green" as that- you can also get an apple added!
