Since it has been doing this for the past couple of months I find myself becoming very frustrated and having a hard time sticking with the program because I'm not seeing the results. I drink my water, have increased my exercise, and will stay within my points for a week and nothing! This in turn frustrates me and guess what? I eat!! Take today for instance...this morning I weighed and gained another pound after a pretty active weekend which included walking 2.5 miles last night. What the heck??!! So I had a decent breakfast and a lunch full of veggies and what do I do when I get home? Eat a 9 point muffin, have a 4 point bowl of ice cream, crab dip that I don't even want to know the point value of, plus a bowl of Cheerios. Then I sit here and get so ticked at myself that I did that. Why didn't I check the points of the muffin before I got home rather than stuffing it in my mouth when I got home?
I have got to do something! It seems like every week I am telling myself the same thing and it is getting old for me to write let alone for you all to read. I just can't figure out what to do? I increased my walking, drink my water, and am even getting in my veggies, but for some reason I'm so hungry especially in the afternoon. I find myself coming home and indulging in not so great stuff. Then the guilt settles in. I hate this routine, but I can't seem to get out of it. I do try veggies and fruit, but it still doesn't curb my hunger.
I feel like because I hit a plateau and I am now spiraling out of control because I am so darn frustrated that I don't lose even when I do well. I tell myself "well it doesn't really matter how well I do because I am not going to lose anyway so why not have a little ice cream." Yes, I do know that I am definitely not going to lose if I keep this up either. So what is a girl supposed to do? Please share your words of wisdom. I really need all the help I can get right now!!

look at your daily meals and the points you allow for them. Are your days top heavy, bottom heavy or balanced on the snacky days?
ReplyDeleteAre you eating enough protein?
Are you eating a lot of processed things?
REALLY look at what you're eating and analyze it.
Oh, and don't be so hard on yourself.
ReplyDeleteYou've done fanfreakintastic.
I agree, you have done great.
ReplyDeleteI am at 145, and would love to get that last 5 off, but I too am stuck in a rut. We need a get out of rut party...
Oh, and gave you an award today...

ReplyDeleteHang in there, Mel!
ReplyDeleteFor me I had to simply purge my pantry of all temptation. Frankly, if it's here, I'm gonna eat it. Just knowing it (whatever "it" is) is in the freezer or in the cupboard makes me think about it until I just go get it and eat it. Ugh!
Losing weight is TOUGH! Seriously, join me on Fridays and weigh-in about your successes and struggles. I know I need the support!
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to get out of that rut. I have tried many many times myself. Especially when I put on an outfit that I really like and it's like I'm squishing myself in. Ugh!
ReplyDeleteYou can do this....do you want me to give you a kickin hehe. Just kidding. Don't make yourself feel bad...
