I'm feeling frustrated and discouraged. When I got laid off in August I decided to go to college because I do not want to work in another factory (did that for 12 years). Now I'm not sure I can do this my brain just doesn't retain knowledge like it did when I was in high school 17 years ago. I have mid term in A&P next week and just can't remember all of the stuff that's going to be on it so I'm pretty sure I'm going to fail.
Can I just say - don't get discouraged. Sometimes, you feel like you aren't retaining the information but trust me once you sit for that exam everything will come to you. Just focus on studying right now and don't overthink things. Good luck. You will be fine.
It's great that you went back to college. x0 -
I'm sorry NS that you were laid off from your job
I know the feeling of being frustrated with school. You can do it. Even if you have to take some of the classes over again to pass. That's what I tell myself anyways... 0 -
Honestly, I'm getting tired of trying to be optimistic. I'm so effing pissed off at my body right now. I feel like I am doing everything right by eating sooooo much better than I was and working out 5 days a week (cardio and strength training) tracking all of my calories and not one damn single lb fluctuation on the scale. I'm furious with my old personal training office for losing all my stats from when I first started so I don't even know how many inches I have lost so far by losing 30 lbs. and not having those to keep me motivated through this BS plateau. I just want to go out to the closest Mexican food restaurant and gorge myself with chips and hot sauce, a chimichanga with rice, slathered in cream cheese jalapeno sauce and guacamole!!!!!!!!!!!! Then ice cream. That's how I feel. *kitten* optimism. There I said it...
Phew! Rant over. I feel better now
Excellent Rant! We've all been there. Sounds like you've been working really hard, it will definitely pay off even if you don't see it on the scale right now. You sound a bit stressed too so maybe a day to "treat" yourself is a good idea. Maybe not like your suggestion but go and take a day for yourself, go buy some new shoes, get your hair done, and stop off for a nice big frozen yogurt with chocolate chips (Ok, so this would be my treat but you get the idea) 0 -
Love this post, I needed a good place to talk about how I am feeling!
The last week I have felt awesome- totally in control and confident that I will each my goals. Today, I just feel so blah. This is normally the type f day that I would o home and eat or treat myself and order some kind of take out just so I could feel like my day wasn't blah. Although I am most certainly an emotional eater, I think I have I watch out for these days just just creep in and steal my drive and will power. I'm going to download some new music and go to the gym once work is over and hopefully it will help me perk up.
Stay strong everyone!0 -
Terribly frustrated! Burned over 1000 calories 3 days this week, usually burn between 600-900. Eating pretty well, always under my goal AND I'VE BEEN PLATEAUED FOR ALMOST 2 MONTHS!!!!!!! UGGGG!,,,,0

well, i have overindulged in caffeine today and i am feeling very jittery. i feel the need to run, but i don't do that. LMAO. so, i am going to exercise tonight and walk as much as i can during the work day.0

I hate my job. That is all.0

call your doc and see if you can get a anti viral med. or something over the counter maybeFrustrated from my two canker sores,0 -
LOL!.... Sorry but that's exactly what I did last night, Mexican and ice cream! @Nics690

I'm feeling pretty good right now. I've never really paid much attention to those that said make small changes first but now I realize that it actually works. I joined MFP just a few weeks ago. At first I signed in here and there, tracked some but now always. NOw I've been on daily and track everything. I've noticed myslef watching what I eat more and more and have started a walking routine that I've stuck with. I'm pretty happy about that. Normally, I would go all out the first week or two and then crash and say what's the point. But here I am, happy, tracking, and moving!! 0

i'm sorry sometimes they suckI hate my job. That is all.0 -
@ Nic: Thanks for the encouragement hun! I love to snowboard and there is a storm headed my way this weekend. I think getting out of town and boarding will be a good way to get rid of this stress. Just me, my music, my board, and some fresh pow. That actually sounds better then Mexican Food right now, :P0

Verily, I am vicariously vexated at the sheer enormity of incompetence displayed by and individual of whom I am having some deliciously vivid and quite frankly disturbing mental images of inflicting a veritable variety of grisly and grotesque punishments on.
Fortunately, these feelings are but fleeting dust specs floating in the vast emptiness of space in stark juxtaposition to the blossoming happiness enveloping my mind in thanks to the rarity of a recently discovered kindred spirit.0 -
I'm feeling increasingly frustrated because I've realized how long it will take to lose this weight and I feel like I've wasted my teenage years being unconfident and hiding away in baggy clothes.
Realizing how long it will take is often the tipping point to long term success. The realization of just how long it was going to take me completely changed my life, and is a huge reason for why I am where I am today. When you start to see the bigger picture, you start seeing all of this from a different perspective...not a diet (verb) but your diet (noun)...your new life. This is when you really start to find your awesomeness...be one with your awesomeness....

Today I'm feeling sore because I recently started weight training, and yesterday was a legs and butt day! My thighs are killing me!0
-
Depressed, angry, annoyed and stressed. For several reasons - the gov'ts stupidity (I've a Govt Civ Contractor), my loss of RW friends, overwork and uncared by the man I call hubbs and beginning to wonder what is wrong with - why don't I burn calories like others. I know - huh, what?
I just fell unloved, unwanted, broken and defective0 -

Word. hahahaha0 -
I'm happy, after months of up and down fluctuating and not getting anywhere, I made some changes and the weight is starting to come off, and losing inches. I'm not sure what actually worked but I upped my calories from 1200 to 1450, started getting more sleep, went from exercising 6 days a week down to 4 or 5 and started weight lifting.0

I am super excited. I went shopping on my lunch hour yesterday, and discovered I dropped another size! I am still on a high from that. 0

Just had to comment that I love what you wrote! (I like your thinking! hee hee) 0 -
Frustrated by stupid threads.
(not this one)0 -
Frustrated! I am my own worst enemy. I eat healthy food, but I over eat it. I give up chocolate and cheese when I am most serious about weight loss. Then one bad day at work and I stress eat comfort foods like chocolate and cheese when I get home.
Thanks for the vent. Good luck everyone.0 -
I just took a shot of apple cider vinegar. How do you think I feel? :sick:0

That's so wonderful.
I'm in a good mood today but generally I can't believe that I am the weight that I am. I'm upset with myself for letting it get this way.0 -
I really just want to burst out crying right now. Tomorrow is my son's 1st birthday, and OMG he is already growing up toooooo fast. I am trying to find a house for rent right now, which is becoming incredibly difficult, so that I can get my dog back from parents house before the kill the poor girl. She is a red heeler mix and really needs room to run, and just cant get it while she stays with my parents and would be even worse if I brought her to live with us at our apartment. She got out of the yard this morning making my mom 45 mins late to work, after which my mom called me to yell about.
I am beyond bored at work today because my supervisor micromanages things to the point that all I can do is answer the phones by myself. Unfortunately what she doesnt know (although I really wish I could tell her, because I actually do like her quite a bit) is that our office manager is replacing her with me within the next 2 weeks. That means a promotion for me, and probably unemployment for her because I know she will be so pissed that she will want to quit, but I cant say as I blame her.
My lunch starts at 12 and then I leave 5, but today is going by unbelieveably slow. My stomach is growling even though I just had a snack, and my can of soup is not appealing enough at this point in time, and I doubt it will do much to quiet the growl.
And I swear, if one more person walks though my office without closing the flippin door behind them, I might jump over my desk and tear out their esophogas with my bare hands!0 -
A bit frustrated. Weight has been coming off like crazy, but the last few days I am completely stalled. Grrrrrrrrrr. On the other hand, my waist is the smallest it has been in 30 years! Sounds pretty tame compared to some of the issues others are having! Keep slogging away, folks! Tomorrow's another day.0
