Stupid Scale... Mood
Thursday, May 14, 2009 | A Frustrating story

It seems like I've been doing so much better with my life until I step on the scale.  Then everything feels the way it did before.  FAT.

 

I work out every day,

I've cut back on eating out and how much I eat,

I've been eating much rounder, healthier meals,

and I've been spending more time outside of the house, staying active.

 

And yet I've GAINED 3 pounds.  I went for 138 to 141.  I'm upset, I'm frustrated, I'm depressed.  Most of all, I'm discouraged.  I have yoga tomorrow and I'm going to walk there.  I had a panic attack a few hours ago because I was so upset at myself for being the way I am.  I feel like when I'm with friends, I look great and I'm happy.  But when I'm at home, alone.. it's totally different.  I'm huge, I'm stressed, and I'm lonely.

 

I'm off to bed.  Night guys.

    Oh sweetheart your young and your going to keep developing and the body is a weird thing. Let me share some advice with you that helped me out. I need to get back to working out and losing weight like I was, but last year I was a couple pounds shy of losing a 100 pounds.

    I had my ups and downs like everyone else. I had a good diet going and a great workout. However, there were times when my diet was followed and I didn't cheat or eat one thing I wasn't supposed to. I would be exercising more than I had in the past as well. Then I would step on the scale and either I gained, stayed the same, or barely lost anything.

    I learned that you CAN'T LET THE SCALE DICTATE YOUR ATTITUDE! Please understand this. What will happen is that you will let the scale get you down and then you will start to say fu** it and start eating something you don't want to or say I'm not going to exercise on a day that you want.

    Just concern yourself with you life habits. Your diet and your exercise routine. Look for sucesses there instead. Like your workout routines. Look for how you did this many more pushups than last time etc.

    Yes you want to lose, but honey your young and you are still going to grow. Just keep doing what your doing and having the mindset that you have. I wish I would of when I was your age.
