This Is Where the "Support" Comes In
I joined here maybe a week ago, and lost ten pounds in the first week. I was feeling pretty good about it. But yesterday and the day before were off days, and looking back on it I guess I can see why I gained weight, but the bottom line is, I gained that entire 10 pounds back in 2 days. Double u tee eff. Yesterday I checked the scale and I was 173. Today I'm 182. This doesn't mean I'm giving up, but.. it just hurts to see my hard work be gone. I feel so demoralized. And I was so close to the 160s too.
I know now from this mistake that it's important for me to really be strict and not fall off the wagon like this while I'm trying to lose weight. Someone told me the other day, "when you're losing weight, the thing is sometimes you just have to feel hungry." Since I've been trying to eat healthier food and eat less, though, I've just been having a very low level of hunger, but constantly. It's just always there bothering me, making it harder to focus. And food is the only thing that gives me a buzz and makes me feel better, I look forward to every meal even if I'm not eating anything special. The things I look forward to throughout the day, to get me THROUGH the day, are as follows: lunch, dinner, and the point where I'm at home and I can just relax and my responsibilities are over.
How can I get this hungry feeling to go away? My stomach just feels empty all the time and it bothers me. Even if I eat, an hour later I get the feeling again. I finally believe that being slimmer, healthy, and comfortable in my body will be worth all the work it takes and giving up all the extra/sweet food, and that I can have that every ONCE in awhile when I get there. But does that mean I'll have to live out the rest of my life always being mildly hungry?
