Being grumpy.

Hey - how does everyone deal with not being mad at the world for not eating/being overweight? It seems too make me soo sh*tty towards everyone when i tell myself no, does anyone else struggle with this? Thanks friends.

Why would you be mad at the world? The only thing you are responsible for is yourself. You can't control anyone else or anything else. (and no one else can control you)

My biggest problem was being ashamed of myself. Ashamed and for some reason scared of other people finding out. I don't know how delusional I was, but I thought me being fat was my dirty little secret and I needed to keep people from finding out... Even now, whenever people give me compliments, there's a voice in the back of my head that goes "WHAT?!? How'd they know I was fat?!!?" Yeah... I know it's completely irrational...

I'd say that exercise is the best remedy. It makes me feel so strong and powerful and in charge of my life. I don't know how you could possibly feel angry at the world when you just set a PR squatting more than the guys (who pretend like they aren't watching, but they are and they are jealous).

I am grumpy right now about being diabetic. We are off to the movies and I am sick of the never ending dilemma and guilt trip..should I or shouldnt I? Should I have movie snacks like everyone else and let my blood sugar soar...or should I say, no I need to take care of myself.

I can relate to your grumpy phase...no answers except we both need to look at the big picture I guess

I get grumpy when I don't get enough fat in my diet or I skip a meal. I was told that when people are hungry they get more alert as a natural response that prepares you to find food... that's fine but unfocused alertness can lead to anxiety in me.

My number one solution is a moderate calorie defacit (no going overboard) and a good balance of fat protien and carbs (I go 30/30/40 but I'm sure there's 101 ways of living).

Experiment... if it's the diet that's causing it then there's probably a solution in there somewhere.

All I can say it that if you feel this way, you are probably affecting the people around you. It happened to me, and I lost the best thing that ever happened to me. I didn't take into consideration her feelings, and even though you can say you only make your own happiness- you can sure mess up someone else's day by being a grumpy *kitten*. She taught me that when you are married, you are a partner in daily life. If you are constantly grumpy or hate yourself, it cannot help but affect the other person.

About being on a restricted diet:

Eat something. Be responsible but let yourself have a treat now and again. An apple with some peanut butter, a couple of squares of quality chocolate or a fancy smoothie generally do the trick for me.

About body image:

Find some things that you like about yourself and radiate your essence. I know that sounds totally cheesy but it is really helpful. I, for instance, like my hair. So if I am not feeling great about myself I just focus on that. If you have nice teeth, a great smile, a good sense of humor just use it!! Worry about the flaws when it is time like during your workout or when you are trying to decide what to have for lunch, but the rest of the day should be dedicated to your assets. The rest will follow suit.

I have been feeling the same way as you a lot lately. My skin has been breaking out a lot lately and I feel like everyone looks at me and thinks that my face is one big infection and that I am not doing anything to get it under control. I sense that people are treating me different and it creates a lot frustration and anger. So I just *try* to have a good attitude about it, but it is never easy.

Hope that helps a little.

yep, i get grumpy too. just wanna smack my skinny hubbie when he whines about 'there's nothing to eat'. humpfh. try that with less choices, buddy...... I am really getting mad AT FOOD lately. That helps me not want to eat crap.

I mostly am FURIOUS AT THE FOOD INDUSTRY FOR THE AMOUNT OF SALT they drown every processed food in. when you find a SNACK that you, the poor diabetic, can have....it's LOADED IN SALT.

that FRUSTRATES the crap outta me. SALT SALT SALT. We already eat as much fresh homemade food as possible. sometimes I DONT want to COOK. The healthy frozen dinners, the low-fat healthy hummus.....SALT--- ALL LOADED IN SALT.

yep, I'm yelling a bit. sorrrry.
