*Sigh* Nearly in tears!

Losing weight is a tough road, that is true. But giving up just makes the road tougher. I cannot tell you how much better I feel physically and emotionally from losing my weight. I want the same thing for you too! Just take it one meal at a time, one day at a time. Not sure exactly what is going on to create such deep emotion in you, but I encourage you to keep plugging along. I am hopeful you have a supportive husband through this process. Good luck to you!

It's a phase. Go for a walk. Accept virtual hugs from those of us who share your struggle. You CAN do it, and you will. Hang in there!

I noticed you mentioned 'should get a job'. Do that. more time your are busy doing something, less time mind has to imagine food. Happens to me all the time. Think of this as a gift for Rob. Set a goal to give him a skinny you by his birthday perhaps??

I thought I'd give you this.. might help you. Another MFP member posted this once and it really stuck with me....

Fall seven times, stand up eight. - Japanese proverb

Hope it helps you too!! Hang in there... because you are worth it!!! Cheers.

Don't give up. I am having difficulty myself. We must continue on.....baby steps. Think of one thing that you have changed in the last month. For me it is increasing my exercising. I may suck on my food diary but I am being consistent in exercising. Just concentrate on what you are doing that is positive. We can't change a lifetime of habits quickly.

That won't work if you fall 9 times or more. So I go with what my math prof once said:
Fall X times, stand up X+1 - Works all the time.

Thank guys!

I think my tape measure lies... I think part of my problem is that the tape measure tells me I have lost amazing cm's but my clothes feel tighter... Its a losing battle... My other problem is my PCOS and gaining weight every 2-3 weeks because of my AF! Officially I have lost 5.6kg BUT technically 12.6kg... Its so tiring!

To get motivated sometimes I try to recall the food Gorging sessions I had in the past. That disgusts me. and I sometimes leave for a run. Actually I'm gonna do the treadmill for 10mins right now because this just reminded me.

you cant argue with the maths !

Try not to despair! I know there are days that are hard, some even harder, when you want to give up, b/c nothing you do seems to be working. But in reality, it IS working. Just more slowly than we'd all like sometimes. Add the PCOS to it, and that makes EVERYTHING seem even worse. I know, I suffered through 5 yrs of infertility, and EVERY conceivable treatment available, incl. many surgeries, and 5 IVFs just to have my 1st son. And those years were the hardest ever. Not only was I 40 lbs heavier than I am now, in large part from all the hormones I was taking, but everyone around me was dropping babies like crazy, and I couldn't even get pg!

I feel for you, I do. I've been there, I've shed so many tears about being fat, not being able to have children, and why this should be like this for me, and not for others. All I can say is that I'm sending you many many virtual (((hugs)))), and the BEST thing you can do is to take care of your body and your health. It won't be easy, but it WILL get better. Soon you will see the "you" that you want to see when you look in the mirror. You'll feel better, you'll be healthier, and your PCOS will improve. Don't give up! Do this for you, your husband, and your family that you want to have!

Oh boo hoo get the hell off your pity train and get with it, your 27 and over weight, you want to be that way the rest of your life? Come on, your a young beautiful girl with a great husband, just think how great it will be to go out on a date with him wearing a slinky little number.

Now get off your bum and lets make some changes, go to this website, and research then set yourself a plan for a long, healthy, and happy life. Marksdailyapple.com

Carry on.

I went through a situation when i was 2-3wks into exercising and eating better. I became tired and miserable. I am a full time working mom of 2 kids and I was taking my frustration out on my husband and kids. Between working 8 hrs, taking care of the kids and trying to get 30-45 mins of a work out (3 days on 1 day off) it became too much for me and got really tired from it and was ready to quit. My husband knew something was wrong and we sat down and talked. He could see that i was taking my frustration on the family which isnt right. He told me to cut back on exercising if i am doing too much. The great thing is he is also exercising and eating right himself so he is a good support also. I took a break for a day or too and got back the energy that i needed. I try to take day by day for myself. I want to do this for me. I want to be health for my kids, i want to be their for them and i want to start feeling good about myself. I think its hard cause we want to lose the weight fast right away and it doesnt happen right away.

Reading your blog made me think of how my husband and I were when we first started dating, and after we got married. We have a great marriage but we also have our hard times too. After our second kid it got harder on us cause i do devote alot of my time to my kids and was neglecting my husband. We are trying to work through taking some time for us.

Its great that you and your husband are doing a weight loss together, its always helpful to have your spouse with you on your journey. Maybe try to be open with your husband how you are feeling, if you havent. I will keep it in and sometimes make my situation worse for myself. I find it better to let me husband know and have him help me through it.

You could do it, keep your chin up and think about the reason why you want this. Good Luck!!
