Why am I so hard on myself? I'm working the program. Working out 6 x week up to 2 hours. Eating as good as I can and I still fill like I'm on a time limit. Am I getting burned out? I've gone from a size 16 to 8 still feel BIG. I'm so afraid of gaining back. Is anyone else going thru these thoughts? We are all our own worst enemy I know this but still.

    Yup. It's understandable. Sometime off to relax may be beneficial.

    I feel the same, I have been doing about 9 workouts a week since June and I am so afraid to let off the momentum b/c I dont know what will happen. My trainer a couple weeks ago told me that I know what to do now and its part of my life so relax and enjoy it, dont freak out about calories dont always exhaust myself with crazy hard workouts, just chill, de-stress and things will go my way. since he told me that i really do feel like its my life and not this die hard mission that i am on anymore.
