I want to scream!!! I've got weigh in tomorrow night and I've been really bad, it was my birthday and my husbands birthday the weekend and all I've done is eat and drink all the wrong stuff. It's my own fault I know, but I really don't want to go and i'm dreading it :break_diet:
Hello there Annabobble,
You haven't been 'bad' just human:sigh:. Weigh-ins always cause me anxiety even when I've been 'good'. I just hate to let anyone down:sigh:.
The thing is, you are at this point today because you have developed an unhealthy relationship with food. This takes time (and effort
) and does not go away just because you start dieting.
The person who does your weekly weigh-in will know how difficult it is some weeks and will not judge you for not losing on certain weeks.
However, we just love to beat ourselves up for each and every 'mistake' we make, focus on it, tell ourselves what horrible people we are, and then eat to make ourselves feel better
. Crazy or what?
That's probably where you are just now Anna. Thinking "what's the point, I'm just a failure and will never make it. I can't go to the weigh-in tonight and fail in front of everyone else." Believe me, you are not alone with those thoughts.
One of the things I am trying to learn is to get back on track when I fall off the wagon. With me it's an 'all or nothing' thing, one mistake and that's it. In reality, as Fatbunny says, it is just a couple of days out of the week. Get things in perspective Anna. So what you've ate too much for your birthday. draw a line under the day and start again the next day.
Finally, stick around here on Minis Anna. Browse through a variety of threads, read others' experiences and advice. You'll find loads of help, support and friendship here. You are not alone with your weight-loss battle.
Good luck with your weigh-in today. Take your courage in both hands and go along. Post here later and let us know how it went, how you felt before, during and after.
AJ
