It's gotta be something to do with surgery cause the past 5 days I've been in such a funk. I'm so depressed for some reason and I have no idea why. I've been miserable. All I wanted to do today was curl up in a ball and sleep. I don't like feeling like this but I can't seem to snap out if it.

Hugs, me too. Hope it passes soon.

I think we may all be realizing on some level that this is for real and our minds are having a problem accepting it. in my cas only since i have faoled at all other attempts at major eeight loss my mind os waiting for me to fail.

little does my mind know or realize this going to happen with or with out its coperation

Damn 180!!! Move scale' date=' move!! Im sick of this number. It is worse than the 200 to 199 tease.[/quote']

Sounds as bad as 206 to 199 as well! I can't get it moving either! Grrrr!!!!

I really wonder what, physiologically, could be happening that several are hungry and feeling big frustration. I keep wondering if it isn't because of the estrogen-fat release depression the doctor told me about. I mean we're burning pounds and fat, hearing good comments but not yet seeing a supermodel in the mirror, feeling better but not yet marathon ready, losing our hair (me), puking occasionally when we eat a bite too much (anyone else occasionally worried we're a shade too close to bulimia), happy weight is coming off while criticizing ourselves for the ugly jiggly fat folds, and we're just so accustomed to failing that we keep waiting for the next shoe to drop and ruin it all. I think therapy, support groups, and time can help but people nature is to want everything perfect now and we've learned to be impatient far longer than we've learned to be patient. As hard as it is, seems to me at this point we just have to give ourselves permission to "be", "settle", and "just accept" where we are in this moment in this vessel. We can and will DO this together!

i'm feeling it too... not sure why or what's up with me but i either want to eat' date=' or sleep or scream... and I'm not hungry... it's just something to do I think?[/quote']

Maybe so. I know some of my life priorities have changed. Maybe its frustration mixed in too?

I'm starting to feel the same way as a lot of you. I am beginning to feel an empty hunger feeling and I am able to eat more but I don't want to because I'm afraid it will halt my weight loss. It doesn't help that I'm stalled either!

Thank you, that was really helpful! You said it perfectly.

Well said! On a side note... I'm sure my cats are tired of cleaning themselves and finding one of my superlong hairs on them!!!

Hugs, me too. Hope it passes soon.

Right there with you! I've been knitting at night instead of studying so I can stay level.

Momma_doe,

I absolutely love your post! I also think you are absolutely right!! I hear the compliments, but I don't seem to really be feeling them. It doesn't help that even my small clothes now are getting baggy. A very good problem, but I feel frumpy. The scale is moving, I have not had more than maybe a three day stall. I have yet to dump or vomit, and so far no hair loss. I keep waiting for the bad stuff to happen, and it just isn't. I should be grateful, but instead it worries me. Go figure!!

BRAVO!!! THIS IS SPOT ON ......

Special Note: some of my posts have some serious spelling errors and i am aware of this fact, my defense is that I commute to work on a trolley line that is 100 years old ( seriously ) and its gets rocking & rolling :-) im sure you can figure out the rest

Well said! On a side note... I'm sure my cats are tired of cleaning themselves and finding one of my superlong hairs on them!!!

ROFL!
