shyanne 198 Posted March 31, 2013 I know :-( I'm usually a glass half full kinda gal but I'd find myself weeping at the silliest things. One day I went to wal mart with my mom and the walk from the car to the door took every thing out of me. I walked back to the car and just cried.... And feel asleep. Just keep going though :-) it will get better :-D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BBdoodle 483 Posted March 31, 2013 Hate that you cried but I am glad to see that im not the only one feeling/felt this way. I hate this. Think positive thoughts and get out and start walking. ANY exercise will produced endorfins which is a natural high. We all went thru periods of sadness but I was not going to let it get the best of me. When I felt down and sad I just leashed up my dogs and went for a walk Don't keep on saying you hate this feeling because that will only make you feel worse. Just do things that make you happy and don't dwell on being sad, it will pass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AmandaD 44 Posted March 31, 2013 I can relate to how you are feeling. I spent most of last week wondering if a whole 2 weeks off work was necessary because I was bored. Luckily my kids are on spring break this week so I get to stay home with them Mon-Wed and I go back to work Thurs. My concern is my energy level. I feel like someone pulled my plug and let all of my energy out. I'm thinking it's due to the 200 calories a day I'm living on during this phase, I just wish I could get some get up and go. I can start my next phase on Thursday which, according to my doctor's meal plan, means tuna on toast and a slightly higher volume of food allowed. I'm very excited and I'm hoping the extra calories will get me through my work day. They frown on me napping at my desk 1 vachick64 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pookybear 284 Posted April 1, 2013 Find some motivational music! Anytime I'm feeling down, if I can find even one song that is uplifting to me at that point in tile, I'll just play the crap out of it until I feel better. It really does help. Or shopping, that fixes everything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
