Feeling Down :(

[Lisa_85 118]

I feel so down today. Because the last couple of days I haven't stuck to my schedule with eating. I feel like I am failing at this even tho I lost from pre op to post op 70Ibs. Does anyone have that issue?

70 pounds is fantastic!!! I think all of us are used to hammering ourselves for our failures. So what.....you had a couple of bad days. Thing is your still on this journey and are rocking it!!!

You are going to have many ups and downs along this journey. You are not going to be 100% perfect 100% of the time for the rest of your life. You need to be able to move past any slip-ups without getting yourself into some downward spiral of self-pity and self-loathing. No one is perfect. I had two pieces of ice cream cake for my birthday just yesterday! I'm not beating myself up about it. It's one day in my whole life, coming after a day that I ran 7 miles for my half marathon training. I'm training for a half marathon! That's how much my life has changed. A couple of pieces of birthday cake? Who cares. It's the same for you. You need to focus on all the positive life changes you've made. You are down 70 pounds! Move on.

70 pounds is great!!

I've definately had days when I've felt down. You can keep going. Just go back to your diet at you'll do great.
