so i have been doing good for almost three weeks. A couple of set backs (cheets), but all in all im doing really good. I have been going to the gym and choosing healthy food. and i have lost 7.5 pounds. but today being friday and the weekend with all its glory. im tired and i feel like im never gonna make it. I dont want this halthy fire to burn out like it has so many times before.

and my boyfriend just moved 2.5 hours away. so im beginning to sink into a bit of a depression. i usually turn to food. but because i have been working out i find myself not wanting to eat at all instead of eating junk. I dont think this is good. and theres creepy voice in the back of my head thats telling me, "wow i never thought you would be the type to be depressed and not eat at all."
but all my comfort foods are bad and not worth all hard work ive been doing.

cant eat. cant sleep. tired and afraid im going to crack. (i just had a couple chicken nuggets to.

)

You can do this.

What you might need (instead of food) is a new hobby. Or an old hobby! Something to really get your fingers into, your mind wrapped around.

Coming online to the forums is actually a good thing. You're not only getting this off your mind in a healthy way, but you're avoiding the kitchen!

It's not always going to be easy. It sounds like you've hit a good bump in the road. Now is the time to move past it. Don't rely on fire or motivation. Continue forward. No excuses.

I agree with Lovely. Please don't give up on this. You're doing so well. I promise you that the hardest part is the beginning of this journey. It gets easier once you establish those new habits! Push through this!!

Remember that it's OK to tell yourself, "No!". It's OK to deny yourself that soothing food. And here's the thing: You will NOT feel better after eating that bad food. You will feel worse. Please remember that.

Sharing my stolen quote from Emme =)

"Being fat is hard. Losing weight is hard. Maintaining your weight is hard. Pick your hard."

You just have to talk yourself out of it. It's a daily battle that you're completely in control of deciding what the outcome will be. You can do it, don't give up!

Don't give up! 7 pounds in three weeks is great! You are doing great. I'm around the same weight as you and believe me, I know it's harder than hard some days. But, believe in yourself because you truly can do this.

I really hope you're doing better now. What I tell myself when I'm having one of "those" days, is "This too shall pass"

For some reason it calms me down.
