Ugh, I'm struggling

I'm sorry Team A but I'm having a rough go today. I don't know why but I am sneaking chocolate like crazy. And sneaking for whom? I'm sneaking myself into a gain that is all I can see.

I really have a problem with getting exercise and eating right. I can totally do the exercise part, for me that is easy, even with reduced time I manage to squeeze something in. But why does the eating have to be soo darn hard? I was...am doing well this week. I've written everything down even BLT's that I probably wouldn't have done. I even wrote down Sat., my WI day which I normally just....well don't. I so wanted to lose lots this week but than I find my motivation just puffs out.

I went for lunch today and had spinach dip and pita, so many points I'm sure. SO I tried to fix it by having 0pt soup tonight, to only have chocolate an hour later. Ahhhh! I feel like I'm spiralling down. I normally don't just give up on a day for one meal, today seems to have gone that way. I know, I know its only one day, get over it and I will, I'm just struggling a bit right now.

Hang in there, is there something else that is on your mind that may cause this? Give yourself a moment of relaxation and quiet time. Sometimes when I feel overwhelmed, I think I need to mass eat everything around me, including loads of chocolate....

I second the "Hang in there" You can do this, you know you can!!

give yourself a hug for owning up to the indulgences you had today and accept that sometimes chocolate is the fix we need.

With that being said, today is over and tomorrow's a new day to trust yourself to know what to do that's best for your body.

Confront your inner saboteur and explain to it that you deserve the body you're working so hard to achieve and that you love your body for giving you all the effort it has in that day by working properly.

HUGS!

Those struggles are so hard, agreed. I've had nightly snack attacks for the past two days. I know I have the power to stop it, but sometimes, I just want to give in. We can pull through this together. Today is a new slate. Start over.

It could be the January blahs, could be hormonal or it could be a response to a change in exercise routines. I have been struggling the last two days myself with this and i found that Green Tea helps for some reason . Perhaps it is the fact that it is a warm liquid in my stomach. Hang in there, keep your sights on the long term goal and just do the best you can and move on !

Sometimes we "need" chocolate. Maybe need is the wrong word, but I think we need to own those cravings, indulge them smartly - rather than sneaking - and then move on.

Today is a new day.

First off, go easy on yourself. Second, forgive yourself.

A little chocolate isn't always a bad thing. You're not really sneaking it if you're telling us about it. It may feel as thought you're sneaking it at the moment its hitting your mouth, but you're being accountable. That IS something.

Step back a bit from the all consuming task of losing weight and healthy eating and reward yourself with a non food treat. A long bubble bath, a moment of quiet with a book, a burning candle. You get the idea!

I hear you on this one!
I went through the same thing this past weekend.
No need for me to repeat what others have said I just know that you are a positive person and this WILL not keep you down.

I know how you feel. I have been having a hard time with food for a couple weeks. I am just getting back on a smooth track again. It feels good. Keep up the good work.
