13 lbs weightloss, why am I not happy?
I started my life change on September 1st, and I’ve lost 13 lbs. I know that is pretty good progress, but I’m just not happy. I guess that part of it is the simple fact that if I had not slipped up a few times, or worked out harder that I could be farther along. Also that I only lost 1 lb this week, and am afraid I wont break through that 200 lb barrier. I have started to set my mini goals to what I want for the week for a loss in hopes of accomplishing that will help to keep me going, but I just feel like crap. I’m not giving up, I’m just feeling down now. I am planning on trying to get in a kick butt workout tomorrow. I just got direct tv so I have it set up to automatically record my favorite workout shows so that I can do them while the kids are napping or whatever, so I know I can do this. I guess that 1 lb just knocked me down a little bit. I’m doing okay with my eating. I actually just baked a pumpkin pie that I am proud of because I substituted sugar with Splenda, and now it’s only 225 calories, and guess what, my hubby didn’t even notice! I dont know why I feel so bad, or what I need for sure to feel better, but I know that I need to snap out of it!

I totally understand this feeling you have, because I was feeling the same thing a few days ago. What I decided to do was to kick my motivation into high gear by doing a cleanse/detox. I figure it will help get me over the hump, and make me rethink my priorities and take appreciation in things that I have started to take for granted. You may want to check out my blog, I actually wrote a post with a similar name as this one - maybe it can help. Hope you feel better soon!
Everyone has these ups & downs. But, I have to say..congrats on the 1 lb. Yes, we always want more..it human nature I guess..but still say celebrate the 1 lb loss. Also, of course, you will reach that goal of breaking that 200 lb barrier…just dont give up..hang in there! Debbie
I am stuck at the 200 barrier too…it SUCKS but we’ll get past it sooner or later! I weigh in Tuesday and am hoping to be passed it. You have to post your pumpkin pie recipe…
I think that happens to the best of us. It is hard to not look at the times we messed up and think if only I would have done this I would have lost more weight. I have come to find if i think like that it just pulls me down and I quit on myself…look at that 13 pounds that you lost it is an amazing accomplishment…this is new month a new chance to start over you can do this.
