Hey there. . I'm sitting at work and going through the weekend in my mind. . My enthusiasm in the beginning was on fire, nothing else mattered than being grateful for the chance and using the tools I've been given. Almost 7 weeks out and 35 pounds down I'm still grateful but my mood and enthusiasm is in the toilet. I'm anxious and feeling down. Feeling that I'm going to spoil this for sure. Feeling my food addiction speaking to me again. Feeling that I've used so much money for nothing and I'm going to let my closest family down. . Well that's what I'm feeling.

Have you found a way to visually account for all of the lbs lost? For example I buy myself a pretty fake flower for every 10 lbs lost. As the bouquet grows I can visually recognize that I'm making changes. You need to be proud of what you've done so far, it will push you to continue to stay focused! Are you using myfitnesspal or anything? Gotta stay on it!

That ifea to buy a flower is great! Im going to use that.

@@bangbangbarbie what a great idea, Rona<3 we have all been on a downward spiral at some point mine has been the last two weeks.

Why because I was doing everything right and not seeing any positive changes come from my hard work. I changed things up eliminated sugars, increased my Protein and try to have little carbs as possible and I have seen the scales move down and that has boosted me so much.

Do you feel this is the same for you, after all the expense and missing food that you are not being rewarded by the scales to show for it?

Thank you guys for warm replies. It means a lot. The scale has been kind to me. It the head that is bothering me. Just got depressed. Don't know what came over me..

Love the flower idea. It's a beautiful way to mark the occasion of losing the strain of over weight
