So I hit my first goal last week and then promptly stuffed my face over Easter weekend. I'm having trouble getting myself back on track.
DH is deployed and I'm working on a bunch of different house projects in my very limited "spare time" aka when my 2.5 year old is napping. I know the issue is that I feel resentful that I'm panting kitchen cabinets (which SUCKS by the way) by myself. Now, DH is not on a pleasure cruise with the Navy and I know that which then makes me feel guilty for being annoyed that he's not the one cleaning paint brushes.
Motivation is a fickle friend. It comes and goes and can leave us wanting more. Kinda sucks but you just have to make the decision to move on. Easier said than done, I know!

Thanks! This is the kind of advice/commiseration I needed.
I go through bouts of inspiration and desperation. It's hard to stay motivated 100% of the time.
Last night I was hungry - I was upstairs and wanted to go downstairs and eat everything in site. I was slightly over my calories for the day as it was. It took everything in me to stay upstairs and I was grumpy about it.
This morning I woke up and felt good about not eating. But I'm already fighting the urge to eat more calories than I have available to me.
Anyhow - weight loss is a fight, but really the only way to lose the fight is to give up altogether.
Ugh, having trouble staying motivated.
