What is my problem!!?…
Well, I am back up 3 pounds. A hard pill to swallow. I didn’t want to blog about this because now I have to admit I have a problem with motivation and self control. Most of my week last week was a wash out. I didn’t care about what I put into my mouth. I could never admit it but I use food as a comfort tool. On a positive note I DID continue to drink my water.
Last night I got into an argument with my ex over money for school clothes for my kids. I am tired of begging this man for help…. Well to make a long story short. After a major crying fit and feeling sorry for myself I headed for the fridge!
I really want to lose this weight but I know deep down I am sabotaging my own efforts.
So I guess I have to keep on keeping on! I know I have to stop taking the easy way out and stop whinning and feeling sorry for myself. So I started back on diet yesterday. Didn’t do great but did control myself better than last week.
Well everyone have a great Tuesday and Hugs! :0)
Okay, so I believe you are headed in the right direction. At least now you are admitting that you have a problem with self control and motivation, and that’s a beginning. And you are still keeping at it. THAT’S A GOOD THING! Never, ever, EVER give up trying. Try and look for other ways besides eating to deal with your emotions. I LOVE to eat when I am bored, so I’ve had to face and deal with that, and I’m getting there… just takes a little practice.
Keep at it, k?
You CAN do this.
Hugs,

It’s okay! We’ve all been there before! Just take it slow! Any type of arguing has me doing the same thing - heading for the fridge until one day I counted to ten and found other things to do!!! You will lose the weight in time I have faith in you! And by all means don’t beg if he doesn’t have the decency to take care of his kids make him (through the courts) I wish you all the best! And we’ll beath this eating thing together! Have a great day!
Uuggg another deadbeat father…it should be illegal..lock them up!!! Sorry for that…its tough when you don’t have help. I love food to, it used to be my best friend.
My husband gave me this to think about…maybe this will work. “Eat to live” DON’T “Live to Eat” It kinda puts things in a different light! Don’t give up, just keep trying!! you can do it!
Hey, don’t be too hard on yourself. This weight loss can be hard no matter what plan you are on. And not only are they hard because of the bad habits we have learned but when we add in stresses it can be that much harder. Now, don’t let an arguement with your ex ever do that to you again. Don’t let him effect your life like that again. You just keep trying. Never give up. Take small steps if you have to day by day. You can do it. Just dig deep and find that strong person that you want to be. Give that person a chance to start running the show. You can do it. Just don’t give up.
I’m sorry you’re under a lot of stress. I cannot imagine what it’s like dealing with an unsupportive ex, of course, he’s an ex for a reason, but always in your life when children are involved. I sincerely hope the situation gets better and he meets his financial responsibility!
As far as the 3 lbs. gain, don’t sweat the small stuff, just get back on the WL horse and take one day at a time. Sometimes, taking one hour at a time is all we can do. Keep in mind that one slip-up doesn’t mean total chaos, just resolve to start up again, RIGHT NOW, as opposed to tomorrow. I know it sounds easier said than done, but you can do it. We all can!
Somedays will be easier than others, these days have been hard, but stick it out and you will succeed!! Hang in there!
