Bad Emotional Days ?

[nomorefat 74]

Today the scale is moving and I am down 21.6 lbs since surgery, but emotionally I seem down, not sure why. Might have been the fact that my mom had us stop at McDonald's for my sons lunch and they both ate while I drank unsweetened tea, then i proceeded to drop the tea 3 times. Finally I threw it out!!!

Does anyone else have bad days like this ??

Honestly, this is the most emotional thing i have been through. I have days everything goes wrong and i cry constantly on those days. I feel like im not losing enough. I have always put my self down my whole life. You will have bad days and a very emotional ride but always hold your head high and keep going. Remember you are doing it for your health.

Yes! I have bad days too. I think we all do. I start feeling bad when I look in the mirror and wonder how did I get so stinking fat? I also feel deprived when the waitress comes around asking about dessert. Of corse, the Desserts were part of what added to me getting fat in the first place, and then there is when my husband goes out to dinner by himself, because there isn't anything I can eat at that restaurant.

We all have those moments, just remember what's at the finish line. I know food was a big part of my life but instead of food controlling me I'm controlling it now. So keep your head up and know you aren't alone.

Everyday is a roller coaster - with tons of tears. You never know what's going to set if off. They say it gets better but I cant imagine it. My favorite food is pizza and I don't know how to be happy without it.

Try going to the worldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com She has a ton of pizza recipes where she uses a mission carb control tortilla for the crust. I am a pizza junkie also. I am going to try to make a basic recipe this week:)

Thanks all, I took a 2 hour nap and felt better, then tonight I told myomere no mor McDonald's . Lol

Another pizza tip is to make a cauliflower crust. There are lots of recipes available online. I love it! Delish!

I have days like this too. I feel the same way as you do. Some days are better than others. Its so hard. I don't regret it at all, I just get down sometimes. Mostly about myself. I'm not losing it fast enough and stuff like that. Try to keep positive and everyday is a new day.

I do feel bad sometimes cuz I'm also a pizza lover. I also enjoy cheeseburger. I buy it for the kids & it doesn't bother me. I drink ice cold Water. Also I have diet snapple iced tea flavor. I had a lot of ice & it's like having iced tea from outside.

Today is a good day. I have been happy with the weight I have lost and I know that I made the right decision, I guess some days will be harder then others . I feel good knowing that I am smart

Enough not to try anything off my diet, too scared of dumping !!!!

I have pizza I just have a smaller amount and thin crust when possible. There is hope you can have pizza eventually.

I am sorry everyone is having bad days. We should be feeling great and happy, right?! Keep in mind, your fat is where all your hormones are stored and because you are dropping the fat so rapidly, your hormones are going berserk trying to figure out where to go and what to do with themselves. It is normal to have the feeling you are going crazy because you don't feel like yourself. It will get better.

I find I am very short with my husband and just have no patience for things. Some days I feel sooooo tired I just want to stay in bed. I know his will all pass. Hang in there!!

The last couple of days have sucked.. Cried a lot- and not sure why.. The huge lifestyle change- the sadness of missing food as my comfort- plateau in weight loss- etc.. It's such a huge transition!! And no one gets it- besides all of you!! Surgery was 5/21..

[atcgoddess1 37]

Hey! Tstevens28...we had surgery on the same date!! It is so very hard!! Lately I am just sick of the whole ordeal of eating. I just don't even want to bother with it. I know that we will be glad that we did this though!
