Hi Jade235
It is awesome that we can come here and vent how we feel, knowing that we all go through the same thing at one point.
I know how frustrating it is to miss the mark, but we cannot let that defeat us. It seems easy to say, to get back up and keep trying. I would hear that all the too, and would wonder, but how do I do it? How can I continue with dieting or relationships or whatever?
The thing is, is that we can do it! If we want it, we can have it!
For me, when it came to going on a diet, I wanted to lose weight right now and fast, but that was so unrealistic to think that way.
I have been heavy all my life and tried everything to lose weight. I got to up to a certain this time and said to myself, I will not go up any higher.
That's when my sister asked me if I wanted to go on a low carb diet. I said sure why not, it can't hurt to do something.
Well, 27 lbs lighter, I thought this isn't as bad as I thought. I started thinking short term results for long term results. Does this make sense?!
I was just happy to lose 2lbs and pretty soon it became 5lbs, then 10.
It doesn't matter what we do, if we mess up one day, then continue on the next day. It will all work out in the end anyways.
Start speaking positive things into your life, like, " I will lose weight and get to where I want to be", or "I will not give up on myself", or any other thing to keep you positive. At first it is uncomfortable to say good things about our selves, because we are no used to it, but after a while it will manifest inside us to where we are feeling so good about ourselves that we will be able to accomplish anything.
Hang in there, you can do it!
God Bless!
