Determined Girl
Here's hoping
Hey gang,
well after my 3lb loss last week (totm) I was expecting something a bit more this week. I'm just back from WI and feel like bursting into tears. Another 3lbs. I know it's 30lbs in 4 weeks...BUT it's only 6lbs in a fortnight...and it's not like I'm near goal or have been on LT for ages where you'd expect it to drop off a bit.
Also...the woman today seemed a bit unsure. I was 112.2 kgs on the scales and she converted that to 17stone 9lbs. Can anyone who is good at maths (or has a converter) tell me if that's definitely right? I just felt I'd lost more than 3lbs this week.
I don't understand- I've not had so much as a mouthful of diet coke...or even a TASTE of food. I know I shouldn't but I've been scanning other people's losses for wk 3 and 4 and I seem to be well down. I'm trying to comfort myself with the 'bigger picture' but the nagging voice in my head is telling me 'you'd do better than 6lbs in a fortnight on weight watchers'. I'm not giving up- but the truth is that this is the lowest I've felt on the programme. I just can't feel positive about it tonight.
Thanks for listening- I know I probably sound stupid and I should be happy to lose at all. It's just that I'm really struggling to get my head round this weeks WI.
This is one of the times I really wish my Mum was still here so I could blub into her shoulder and have me tell me it's all ok. It's also the kind of feeling that drives me to self-destructive over-eating and drinking....and it's taking every shred of 'determined girl' will power not to right now.
Big love to all
