Well, its the night before my weekly weight in.
I'm starting to feel really down. 5 weeks into this diet and I can see the results don't get me wrong, but I just feel really depressed.
I'm a VERY sociable person and if I don't have shows to do at the weekends I'm always out with friends in bars, clubs and out till the early hours partying. Now, I'm sitting in on a Saturday night because I think 1/2 my friends are a bit cautious about inviting me out because I'll be sober and might not enjoy myself. They almost feel sorry for me and I'm trying to get them into the mindset that I can still have fun but its still aquward. Being honest, I don't know if I would be good company in bars and clubs either.... I'm really missing it :wave_cry:
I still get to do the old 'coffee shop' things during the day but its just not the same... I'm really feeling like my social life is going out the window.
I feel like food and drink are still dominating my life, but in completely different ways to the ways they were.
I'm also really sick and tired of people feeling sorry for me on this diet! Any time food is around people go 'ahhhh - don't worry, its horrible food anyway' or 'ahhhh are you going to be ok?' Why do people feel the need to do this? Its like this week when I was in a meeting at work and a buffet came out one of my colleagues did the whole 'ahhh' thing and then proceeded to tell the two other people in the meeting who I barely knew about how I was on a diet and couldn't eat 'But he's doing ever so well' and then gave me this puppy dog expression. WHY did she bother? I have a mouth, I can tell people I'm not eating if I want to...frankly I didn't see the need to say ANYTHING :cry:
Also I feel the whole diet thing slowing down now. unfortunately the scales STILL haven't gone in the bin and I still take the occasional peek to see how I'm doing. I know its unproductive. I don't want to eat...I have no intention of doing that...I just feel like crying tonight:break_diet:
Ohhhh, enough rambling... just felt like I needed to write what I felt down
