So, I'm struggling right now. I'm having a super hard time getting focused, staying within my points and exercising consistently. When I wrote that short little 'more coming' post, things were going really well. But for the last little while, they haven't been. I'm constantly feeling discouraged and incapable. I am terrible with negative self-talk, and I've convinced myself that I can't do this. That I have too far to go, and that it's just not going to happen. Ugh.
I decided to stop going to WW and stop weighing myself. I was becoming obsessed with how much farther along I should be in this journey, and making all decisions based on the scale. If I was going to have a bad day, it was out of control. Good day, extreme perfect. I wasn't even being really honest on the blog I don't think b/c it's embarrassing---I started this blog to share my journey with others, and in my head that looked like me rapidly losing weight and succeeding. It's not looking the way I want it to, so I want to stop. And I know I can't (stop). I know I probably won't (stop). That I'm going to keep going and eventually all this weight will be gone....but right now, I just suck. And I wish I didn't have to write it, and I wish it wasn't happening. I probably won't post for awhile b/c I need to figure some stuff out.
Thanks so much for reading and encouraging me, it really does mean a lot. If I start blogging again, I'll let you know:)

You don't suck - you've got a goal and it's a tough one. It'll continue to be tough, but as you hack away at it, you'll make progress. You already have and you CAN continue. Do what's doable, admit what you can do and push yourself if you can, but keep going. We're cheering you on.
Oh I'm sorry you're in a slump right now. I don't know what to say because I feel confident that it'll pass, but I know it might not seem like that to you. No one that has ever lost an awesome amount of weight has done it easily. Everyone faces setbacks and plateaus, soldier through it and just listen to your body.
Thanks:) I've had a couple of good days...let's see if I can turn it into weeks!
I should have read this awhile ago, we could have sucked together. Oh it´s hard and some days it seems so unfair that I have to do this while other don´t and well it´s tiring. Know that you are not alone, and that it´s to ok to have a bad week even bad weeks, you are doing great!!!!
