Getting Blue while losing the lbs?
Just wondering if anyone else goes through this to. Of course I get upset when I'm not losing or stalled etc. But sometimes when I'm losing good I feel really happy at first and then that kind of tappers off to a blue feeling. Not really depression (I've been through that before). And it doesn't last long. But I was just wondering if this was a normal occurrence for us losers and what your experiences have been.
I feel the same way sometimes. I do think it has to do with hormones and just all the changes we are going through so rapidly. Sometimes I feel so small compared to my old 362 pound body and like I am superwoman! Then some days, I feel so fat and unattractive. Sometimes I get blue because I feel like I should be able to run longer or do more exercise and my body still won't cooperate. Sometimes I will look at a picture of myself and still see that very fat girl in the pics.
Those are the times I really have to focus on the positive and the amazing things that I have going on in my life. It's especially hard for me not to turn to food in those times so I have to take a bubble bath or a nap or a walk... whatever I can to distract myself.
I hope those moments pass quickly for you. You have done an awesome job! Keep focusing on your goal! :-)
