Ready to give up

I am having an exceptionally bad day. I gained back 2 lbs, even though I’m eating under 1200 calories a day. I literally haven’t gone over 1200 calories in 2 weeks and drinking 8+ glasses of water a day and limiting sodium. Why am I gaining weight?? Then I fell down the stairs in my house and my leg is killing me. Then my car wouldn’t start. So I was late to work. For the first time in a long time, I got to my desk at work and broke down crying. I am a fat pig and I will probably never model again and now I’m so stressed about my car and being late for work that I’ll probably break down and eat junkfood while at work to calm myself down. I’m going to have to use the money I saved for my tattoo for the car repairs so there goes that too…

    First of all, I'm sorry you're having such a hard time right now, but you need to eat at least 1200 net calories a day. If you don't your body goes into starvation mode and hangs on to those extra pounds. Trying mixing up your routine a bit.

    It happens. It's only 2 lbs that could be waste or water weight or muscle or anything. It's only 2 lbs babe. Nothing to stress about. You will be fine.

    Don't give up. Weight loss isn't a quick overnight thing like "abs in 30 days" it takes years. You're on the right track. Stay on it.

    Oh you poor dear. Come here and give me a hug *slides hand toward your butt and squeezes twice^

    Awww no you're not. You're a hotty look at you. You've got a pretty good figure and some impressive boobage going on there.

    You don't need to eat junkfood at work, just have some water and a coffee with no milk or sugar. Everything will be fine, and even if it wasn't do you really think eating junk food is going to improve the situation? Do you want to put on the rest of the weight you lost?
