I'm feeling very down about weightloss since my last weigh in. I feel like I'm never going to loose all this weight...no matter what I do...how hard I try or how hard I work. It's frustrating. I know it's not going to come off all at once and "slow and steady" wins the race...but knowing those things aren't making me feel better. Small goals aren't making me feel better...I'm just...blah about the whole thing. I'm not giving up...I'm just not feeling so positive.
Plus...I can't remember the last time I got a solid night of sleep. I'm either in pain and can't sleep or like last night...my son is teething and was up in the middle of the night with a fever. The lack of sleep is adding to my negativity I think...
Oh man. I feel for you! And truly, your lack of sleep is adding to your stress and probably also partly to your discouraging weigh-in last time. It will get better... yes, it is frustrating to lose weight slowly, especially when we're crammed with images of people losing 10, 20 pounds on reality shows (which I just can't seem to get enough of! argh). I hope you can find a way to get a good night's sleep and some relief soon. Hang in there, you're handling it and you're doing well!
I definitely think it's the lack of sleep which can also affect your weight loss - just keep at it- hopefully get some sleep even if you have to send your son to grandma's for a few hours so you can get home and sleep- let the house work alone- it doesn't have to be immaculate- sleep is very important
I know what you mean, when it is a large amount of weight you want to lose, its hard to see the 'finish line'---the best thing I have learned to do is break it into small chunks---that is actually why I like WW so much! I'm shooting for my next 5lb star! Which will also be my first 10lbs and my first 5% loss! I think having those really small goals really helps a lot. Just keep shooting for that little goal, and after awhile, all those little goals will add up and you will be one more step closer to your goal! Hang in there, there is no easy solution to weight loss, other than long-term commitment, belief in yourself and determination! You can do it if you want to---you have the power to change and be who you want to be
I feel you. I have about 100lbs to lose and it seems like it is coming off slow. But....it is coming off. Just think if you weren't trying to lose weight, think of all of the weight you could be gaining. Hang in there, take it day by day and know you are not alone
Congratulations on the 22 pounds you have lost. That is a great start. A teething baby and lack of sleep is a downer, but hang in there. You can do it !
You've got this.
You have already done the hardest part (taking the first step) and lost 22 pounds!!!
Go YOU!!!
Send the baby to grandma (if that's an option) and let the chores go. You need your rest not just for weight loss but for mom duties.
I'm sorry you're feeling down! You're going to have lots of ups and downs throughout the journey. Just take it one meal at a time. Don't think about the overall picture, just make your next meal the healthiest you can and you'll get past it.
They usually take the twins every other weekend. They work evening so that's when they get to see them. But working 40+ hours a week doesn't leave me much me time. I'm so tired during the day...but then at night I can't sleep. Liam is super sick...his temp went up to 105 today. He has some sort of viral infection that is going around. Then tonight he woke up after sleeping for an hour and was up crying for almost 2 hours straight...and then threw up all over our bed and DH. Lucy started with a fever tonight too...It's just non stop...everything is non stop. I just need things to slow down for like a day or two.
I think I just need something to go well...and then maybe everything else wouldn't seem so bleak...I'm really overwhelmed lately which isn't helping.
This is all part of raising children, anyone who has had children knows the sleepless nights. It does get better. Keep telling yourself that , it will get better. You do have your hands full. Try and get rest when you can, nap when the twins do.
I did take a small nap today. Last night was absolutely horrendus.
My weigh in probably wont be so good tomorrow. I ate like crap yesterday and today...but honestly...the last thing on my mind was tracking. I'm lucky I got to eat what I did. I held Liam for 3 or 4 hours straight.
Like I said in another thread...new week after the weigh in and it'll be better. It has to be... I will make it be better. The past two weeks have been way too craptastic for my liking.
Blah
- just keep at it- hopefully get some sleep even if you have to send your son to grandma's for a few hours so you can get home and sleep- let the house work alone- it doesn't have to be immaculate- sleep is very important
