Hello, All.

I was reading the Accountability post and saw that someone had the idea of support each other through rough days, weeks, months, etc. We all know this is not going to be an easy task at hand and we are going to have those stressful, exhausting days where things are just not going how you would like them too. I know that I'll have those days too and will need some support. I'd thought I would just let everyone know, just in case you didn't see that previous post that you should feel free to share and vent your rough days and frustrations. We would like to keep this a safe space for all of you.

Duces,

Jenn

Thanks for this post Jenn. So glad we can use this place as an outlet to "let it all go!" #judgementfreezone

Getting a tad frustrated that I'm meeting all my calories goals (often not even accounting for exercise calories gained back) and my body has still managed to gain weight this week. No way will I have lost anything this week, and I'll have to post a gain, which sucks because I'm eating right AND exercising. I have had a big IBS flare this week, which always makes me bloat, but it's so annoying. Well, I guess we just press through. All I can do.

The people that I have seen that lose a ton of weight the following weight- tend to gain a little at first. It could be muscle weight. Also watch your sodium intake! Keep it up!

WHY is eating right and exercising so dam hard. It's simple math. There are loads of calories in that chocolate you're about to eat ad you know that and eat iit anyway. Why why why!
Not the best day..I think part of it was no weight loss so whatever. BUT tomorrow I hacve already tracked what I will eat a d will exercise!
Also, I feel so judged by anyone and everyone but in all likelihood they don't care.

Jenabee - Hugs to you. We will miss you, and look forward to "seeing" you whenever you make it back. Here's hoping your journey brings you to a place of peace and joy! :flowerforyou:

Ah coolchick, I understand! I was textbook my first several weeks and my weight stayed about the same. I volleyed with the same couple of pounds up and down. Recently it seems like it's been sliding off. I figured it's just where I started + where I was in my cycle. That's how it seems to me...right when I'm right on the verge of getting super frustrated I seem to be rewarded all of the sudden for my hard work. Hang in there! Your body will catch up to you.

My baby is teething and kept me up ALL. NIGHT. And of course I've been hungry all day, but I know it's just from exhaustion. I plan on running this evening and then we're gonna get some take out (comfort food!) But, I've already planned on what I'm getting and am not going overboard, so I feel like it's a win and a definite shift from my not too distant past, when I would have used the tiredness to be a slug and eat all day.

I'm feeling negative today. Not really about my struggles with losing, I feel like I'm rocking it, but dealing with a lot of negativity around me. I guess some people just don't get it and feel the need to criticize. Plus I think they are mad because I no longer do "fast food runs" for them at work.

I feel like they think that I am no longer "as fun" as I used to be. And they look uneasy if I talk about my healthier lifestyle like they'll "catch it" from me and that it's not a good thing. :noway:

Hoo boy...why is one person's success and resolution so threatening to others? We all have the saboteurs in our lives and they
S--k! Is there anyone more like-minded that you can hang out with? Or just go for a walk to clear your head for a few minutes??You probably nailed it with the fast-food runs - which they know they shouldn't eat anyway but will now take it out on you. Good luck!

Meanwhile I've been on track for 3 whole days and the scale has not moved!! Imagine!!...so of course I ate the cookies my saboteur, er husband brought home. Might as well add self sabotage!! Stay the course. Patience.
