Feeling down

the first time I tried I was 4 weeks out and I lasted about 2 weeks and then I had to go buy a scale (on vacation) and weight 4 times a day. this last time I did okay, and it was not as much an obsession. I have been fighting the last 10 lbs for the last 6 weeks and it is just frustrating. I am now 2.5 lbs a way. it is amazing. I am sure that I if I actually got more than 20 oz of fluids a day I would just melt away! kat

It really must be this weather!! I have been so depressed about my weight,I am about to give up!! I try so hard everyday to eat the right food,drink allot of water,and get alittle bit of exersize in....but I just can't lose anymore! I feel like OK--I lost 75 pounds in 8 months and thats going to be it. Might as well get used to the weight I'm at,I will be there forever!! I might as well eat anything now! I have been so hungary all the time,too,its awful!!! I just don't know what to do!!!! I know your feelings for sure,you sound excatly like me!!

I also have 4 pounds to goal and it seems to be taking forever. I have 1 pound to onederland and 4 to goal and have been stuck here since Christmas. This is a double wammy for me. It just stinks I tell ya. I know it'll happen but it definately is enough to put you in a depression state for sure. So cheer up - jsut know, your not in this alone. Keep your chin up and let's get on with it, ok. Take Care, Debbie

I get down from time to time, but one thing that helps me is getting dressed up or at least in a hot outfit you could NEVER put on before and go dancing, or for dinner or drinks or a movie with your sig other....as for the negative co-worker, your looking great just makes her mad..... I'm afraid I would be a nasty b''' to her about my butt and shopping in the juniors dept... anyway...... smile this to will pass...

Hi Carla - You must have read my mind. I feel the same way. For the last several weeks I've been feeling down and unmotivated to do anything, even things I normally would like to do. These of course are the times when I would usually think about food. I'm trying not to do that - most of the food I'm supposed to eat does not seem appealing at all, and the things that I'm not supposed to seem more appealing. I'm thinking that its a combo of it being January (such a crappy month), post-holidays, crappy weather, and adjusting to the weight loss. I'm sure our brains are wondering what the hell is going on.... Hang in there, Heather
