I Feel Like I'm Failing!

Thanks for all the nice helpful advice. You all really know your stuff I've been in ups and downs this week. I never had to try to lose weight before I had kids. I could dwell on how good age 18-23 was but i want to say *I* made the 26 Yr old me better.
I guess im feeling the whiny "why me" crap because of that and other stress in my life right now (relationship problems, armed robbery at work...too much lol!) Stress does help me sometimes too, though..
But on my highs, I am proud of myself for finally starting this. I know im eating better than ever before and im always smiling when I leave the gym. I think my weight loss is water so im prepared to see it slow down. But if I stick to my goals I know I will only get better! Thanks again I am glad I joined. Support is everything.
