Step away from the chips!
First of all apologies - this could end up long & rambling
After 2 weeks of pretty dismal losses i'm starting to doubt the diet :sigh: I really feel like i'm getting nowhere right now and i'm on the verge of jacking the whole thing in.
The rational me says dont be daft woman. After a fall from grace where i put on 3lbs, i scrambled an 11lb loss the following week but the week after was only 3lbs on a week which would have been (going by my weight-loss pattern so far) a good week. But i reckon this was as much as my body could muster having lost 11lbs the previous week. So now this week was just 2lbs and again going by my previous losses this would have been a "small loss week" anyway. But i've never had a 2lb before I'm pretty sure i'm retaining fluid, going purely by trips to the loo versus amount of water consumed and as i mentioned on another thread, i havent had a poo for a week now
I am just really doubtful now, about everything i guess. I want to lose another 2 stone (probably) after i reach my current 13 stone target and at the minute it feels like an insurmountable task. Mad i know. I've lost 5 so another 2 should be a piece of the proverbial weewee right? Try telling my head that I've achieved all the mini goals i set myself ahead of the time frame i gave myself but i'm now thinking...yeah but you made those goals too easy to achieve, you were always going to blow them out of the water so where's the challenge? You haven't really achieved anything as far as thats concerned because you made it too easy for yourself. Aaaaarrrggh evil stupid voices
I'm still 100% committed to the diet, there's no problem with that but i seriously worry what my reaction might be if i fail to have a good loss next week. Its almost like i need that loss of more than 4lbs every other week to keep me motivated and thats not how it should be really
Maybe i'm putting undue pressure on myself - i'm going home in 2 weeks and will be seeing my family & friends for the first time since starting CD and i really wanted to wow them but i dont think thats going to happen. Or at least thats how it feels at the moment.
I know i'm being horribly self-pitying but i just needed to get the crap out of my head so maybe i can deal with it better or get help to deal with it better.
Grrrr harrumph, i hate being in a mood
