Last Wednesday we all agreed in group that this was one the hardest time for us yet. We are a mixed group of twelve with some about to start week 10, myself and others about to start week 9, and the rest in week 8. Three of the women have admitted having something to eat, with one of them actually having a curry the night before. Another had a steak dinner when they were away. One woman is going away and said she was going to eat. While there is another woman going away saying she's going to eat because all inclusive hotel.
The group talked as a whole about how difficult it seems to be on the straight and narrow and that all we could think about was having something nice to eat. Not anything bad, just a nice salad or something healthy for most of us. It just seems so strange that all of the sudden we all are feeling hungry or wanting to eat. I know it's probably emotional hunger,but it's still disheartening to know that other's are eating freely while the rest of us are sniffing people's food just for that bit of gratification derived from it.
Why now though? I feel like there's an great burden on my shoulders that I can't drop.I bought some new clothes yesterday and was so frustrated when the size twenty white linen pants from Asda were still a to tight over the stomach while the other two same sized pants I bought fit just fine.
I have had a couple of bad weeks with weight loss, but overall 33lbs in 8 weeks is a great. I am determined to SS until July when we go to the States for a three week holiday. I still have 78lbs to lose. I just would love to have one meal though. I just can't bring myself to put anything to my mouth and I found it upsetting that other's in my group could just do it.
I keep looking at other people's blogs and pictures and I just find myself comparing my weight loss to theirs and feeling inadequate. I know everyone has their own journey. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?:wave_cry:
