Have you ever gotten in one of those moods?? Sorry, but sometimes it's easier to know that people who understand hear what I have to say ... even if it's meaningless. Thanks for listening, A post from my journal ....

BLECH~
I hate this ... I hate when we fight, when I get my period, when I feel like giving up ... that I'm too fat, that I have no clothes, that I feel like I'm alone. I hate myself, the way I behave at times (especially when I'm upset), having no friends, having no life, having fear ... fear b/c I'm fat.

Just in one of those moods.

HOWEVER ... today with all this ugly I'm feeling and dealing with, I usually sabotage myself. Sink my teeth into a double quarter pounder at mcdonalds ... or a double baconator at wendys. Coke, vanilla shake, large fries ... maybe even get an extra something. I trash myself for not being good enough.

TONIGHT I PUT MY FOOT DOWN, AND PUT MYSELF FIRST!

I calmly heated up a Healthy Choice meal, poured myself a nice big tall glass of water, and then rewarded myself with a skinny cow ice cream cone.


So much for the self sabotage ... I am good enough for myself!! This time this is ALL FOR ME!

    Good job!!!
  • Great job girl, it SO HARD to make healthy choices when all you want is something super salty, or sweet, or oily, all because you feel down and you know its a temporary fix! I can completely understand! I go through those times too and it ALWAYS helps to vent about it. you need too!
    If you need some support and someone to understand, add me!

    Good for you! I understand how that feels fully. For me, it too sometimes goes hand in hand. I either have everything in my life together or nothing at all often. Way to be managing that! That's the truly most important step!! Congratulations! :)

    Great Job!!! Way to fight through that. I struggle with self image as well. Taking Vitamin D has really been a mood lifter and I do feel much better about myself. Now I just fight through the emotions of my pessamist husband. (making progress). Stay tough!!

    Great choices!

    If it's an option for you, get some sunshine and exercise, talk with an optimistic friend (or chat with us :smile:). All those may also help your mood. You deserve a treat after the good choices you made -- put on some music you like? dance around the room? read a book you like? meet a friend for shopping or walking? paint your nails and feel pretty? stretch your arms out wide, hug the world and remember how special you are and how well you did!

    P.S. I almost didn't read your post because I thought it was going to be some negative ranting, but curiosity got the better of me, and I'm so glad I saw this thread.
