Feeling the Blues:-(

[SilverMist]

Morning all
Just starting week 4 and I'm feeling so low - has come out of nowhere, don't understand it. I know it's totm, but I've never been so tearful, sad and just feel horrible in myself. I'm hoping this is my 'bad patch' as I've had it relatively easy so far. I'm even snapping at my OH especially at meal times - I almost gave in yesterday, but went to bed crying instead - sad I know, but I just hope it passes soon. I'm not normally a 'downer' person. Any of you gone through this?

Awww no! I've not been through this yet but i'm sure everyone will have a week like this. Your weekly losses are amazing!!! I find that when my OH is having a meal i need a distraction so i feel less like i'm 'missing out' so i usually come on here, or go for a long bath (i've never been so clean!!)
You're doing soooooo well, 27lbs is an amazing amount to lose, especially in 3 weeks, on a 'normal' diet it'd take months to shift that so please don't give up!! You've worked too hard! xx

Yeah major hugs - maybe book yourself in for a massage or a facial or something I know they're a little costly but doing proactive non-food related things apparently works. Seaweed wrap is a personal favorite. love and cuddles xx

Awwww TOTM and a VLCD together.......not nice, some people cope better than others......but I also feel down occassionally, so dont worry....xx

As for your weight loss woooooowwwwweeeeeee, that is amazing, did you do your measurements too....? Be interesting to know how many inches you have dropped, chin up hun.....you are doing brilliantly

babe this is totally normal feeling like this, all LTers have this at some stage its getting used to a new way of eating habits, we all have some kind of relationship with food and were changing it now and it seems like its now hit you but just keep thinking of the end results and that will keep you focused and give you the will power you need to go on

Thanks Ladies
It really helps to know you know where I'm coming from. I finished work early today and I'm taking tomorrow off, just to have the house to myself and relax a bit. I'm not a 'take time out' kind of a person but I reckon I need a bit of r n r at the mo. My losses are keeping me going as is everyone on here - don't know what I'd do without ye - hugs to everyone.
I haven't measured myself at all Sonkie - raging I didn't now but my clothes are getting alot looser - If I could get rid of these boobs now I'd be really happy..lol

 

[sonkie]

Its never too late to take your measurements......go do them....lol

Hope you're feeling better today. I had a bit of a few days like this at the weekend, at the end of week 4 and it was totm. Feeling a lot better now but I think we all go through this at some stage.

Stay strong, you are doing brilliantly!!

Hi Chrissie, try to concentrate on your good feelings think only about things that make you feel good it really is a mind over matter problem on this diet and it will be worth it. Find things to do in your day that don't involve food if you can this might not be the most sympathetic advice but we got ourselves here and theres only one way back out.
