So Frustrated!

when we went on holiday in July I lost loads of weight.eating out all the time,no tracking,counting carbs no execise (ok,I didnt exercise at all until then)

 

Now,back in our old routine,I have startes exercising loads.I burn about 3000 cals most days and about 2300 on the days I rest.

 

My food on execise days are about 1000 cals (naturally more hungry days) but on non exercise days at 800.

 

The lack of consistent losing is still driving me batty!

 

My head is seriously done in by this.

 

I have considered stopping the exercise again but boy am I flabby!On the one hand exercise is not going to help me reduce the skin at all but it might help for the additional blubber to even out.I am very lumpy on my legs.

 

Sometimes I consider doing fluids only for a day or 2 but I hate protein shakes.And I drink way to much tea with milk when I dont eat.Besides that the moment I decide to do fluids I want to eat....lol

 

I know I am super impatient about this as the average weight loss is still 1kg a week but I want to lose more.It is amazing to me that others can be so happy to just plod along.I try but fail to be happy with that.

 

Mainly I am impatient as I feel stuck above 200.199 would have been fine to sit on for a while but boy I want to be out of the 200 so badly.

 

It is an issue that I am thinking of eating so often.Maybe if that was different I wouldnt have minded losing slower but it just feels like a super strict diet that I am on.I am trying to get hold of some half and half so that I can stop worrying about the carbs in the milk.

 

And maybe I should just add carbs to my diet now so that my body can adjust to that and lose weight while eating carbs again.It worked just fine for 5 months,why wouldnt it work now?

 

Writing these things down helps me.I've looked back on this blog a few times and it changes my perspective sometimes to see that there is good times and bad.

 

So,weight is still 205 and I will only post again when it is down some more.

 

A positive post this next time as I have started using this as the place to whine!However,I have stopped talking about the weight loss and food issues with others and when I finish here,I feel better and can face the day with a more positive outlook.

 

Having said all this,I am a crazy optimist that would expect a weight loss tomorrow just to often be disappointed again.Maybe the issue really is the fact that I am weighing every day.It is difficult to not get on the scale though.

 

Ok,upwards and onwards!

You have to get distracted by something more important than your weightloss. Right now I am in the midst of battling uterine cancer (surgery, chemo, radiation, etc.) and my weightloss is really REALLY secondary :-) So... I pray that you don't succumb to any illness but read what you wrote yourself - when you were on vacation weightloss was pretty far from a concern and by golly, you lost weight !

Live your life, enjoy your new lighter self, and be totally confident that you WILL lose weight because you WILL !

Letting it out when you're frustrated is good for you. You picked the right place to voice what you're feeling. I am sure everyone (or most) have felt the same at some point. Reading about everyone's ups and downs helps me prepare for what may be to come, the good, the bad and the ugly.

You'll get there! Stay positive!

Good luck!

Spatters3,what you are going through surely puts things back in perspective for me!And you are right.

I have always been severly ADHD with hyper focus and unfortunately age didnt change that.But there are things I can do to conciously take my focus of this whole weight loss process.

And I will count my blessings one by one every day to help me move on.

I will also be praying for you that the Lord will keep you and protect you in this difficult and trying time.Please let us know how you are doing.xxo
