Just Peachy
Slowly But Surely
...I sprained my ankle and lost my motivation. Last week I didn't lose anything and that really bummed me out. On Sunday, I injured myself and am now confined to my bed and can hardly walk anywhere. It's not keeping me from getting to the fridge though.
I'm still writing my journal and trying to be careful but I'm feeling pretty down because of my foot and other things so it seems easy to eat that extra treat, or that slice of pizza your flatmate's offered you. I can't make elaborate food either cos I can't stand on my foot.
For me, dieting and exercising go together. If I don't do one, I lose motivation to do the other cos I feel like "what's the point?".
I don't mean to moan but I usually seek inspiration and motivation here and it's not cutting it this time around. I'm scared to get back on the scales this week or next week once my ankle's ok and I'll have gained and then I'll lose motivation to continue on, despite the fact that I was doing better than ever.
I'm not even walking as usual so I'm probably burning less calories but not eating my 1300/day, eating more cos I'm sad/bored/lonely which is old patterns I'm falling back into.
Has this happened to anyone? Any words of wisedom?
Really appreciate it if you do x
