Default Bad few days

The weather has sucked, I'm PMSing and it seems the more weight I lose the less interested in me my husband becomes. We've barely spoken to each other since Monday afternoon. I'm fairly certain his disinterest isn't caused by my weight loss, and it's just a bad coincidence (it's his last semester at school and he's working full time) but...I just can't be happy when I feel like I'm being relegated to the mom blob position. (Oh, and since the weather has sucked, kids are stuck inside AND ARE RABID).

I'm way off plan, already had a bunch of soda today, and chocolate and other nasties that just shouldn't have entered my plan today...and I just want to curl up in a ball and cry. I'm wearing my new sweater now, hoping that will give me a boost. I couldn't have worn this 25 pounds ago.

My house is a mess and I can't clean it. Hubby went on some kind of crazy cleaning spree over the weekend and overfilled all the garbage cans. Now he's upset because the normal day to day stuff is piling up. I can't just create garbage can space!

So whiney and emo...On the plus side, my rack looks AWESOME in this sweater. It's just too bad hubby won't even notice.

That's for all the crap-a-doodle stuff going on. Try not to let it drag you down! We all have days/weeks/sometimes months when it seems like life is conspiring against us. But the sun always eventually comes out.

Try to come up with a great food plan for yourself tomorrow, and drink lots of water tonight. You'll feel better!

That's for the awesome rack!

You'll feel better in a few days. As for your husband, he's probably totally unaware he's ignoring you. They can be that way. Something to do with them being male! Take a nice warm bath after the kids have gone to bed and try and relax. Tomorrow is a new day to start over.

After the rain, comes the rainbow.

But I know how your feeling, I've been bad the last 4 or 5 days and I feel like crap now.. So angry at myself.
Afterall, we are only human.

Thanks all. These little "blips" seem to show up when I'm close to {mini}goal. Maybe it's some kind of self-defeating mechanism. ><

Why not dress all sexy tonight before bed, and try and get some nookie? It might help you both loosen up a little bit.

Or at least take a shower together after the kids are in bed, just to be close, ya know?

Wow, PMsing? I forgot what that's like seeing as I haven't had a period in over a year. I don't miss them but I am sure that isn't a good sign.

Anyway, sorry it's been such a bad day. Luckily it's almost over and you can start fresh tomorrow. It's only one day, we can't stay perfect all the time. Besides, ever notice how sometimes when ya go a little off program you seem to see a bigger loss on the scale? Has done that to me b4. I would be sure I did horrible because of that one day I ate like a pig, only to see a good loss for the week. I hope that happens for you too.

YAY, on the new sweater fitting and the lovely rack. I was so disgusted with what I had to wear today, I wanted to stay inside and hide. But I made myself go to the gym and stuff so that I too can fit into something I like in the future.

's for when ya need it.

Put the extra trash in extra bags and put them outside/in the garage until trash day.

New sweater sounds awesome!

The only room is outside. We did that once. The cop who lives a few houses down came by and threatened to ticket us (it's illegal to have uncanned trash outside)...while he was in his jammies. ><

Have you talked with your hubby? Maybe he is just stressed over school and work.

I'm sure everything will be fine!

I know exactly how you feel. I had a sucky few days as well. When things like this hit, so do the cravings for things you shouldn't eat...I definitely know.

And I feel you on the husband thing. Trust me. It seems like since I had my daughter, my dear husband to be doesn't want to notice me either. I'm 4 pounds down this morning, though, which is really good. I wonder how a sweater would look on MY rack.

Finding something about yourself that just totally rocks after a few days like that helps a lot. It will all be over soon and then you'll look even better in that sweater.
