In a bad place with weight loss

[Lauratheloop]

I'm not sure what's up with me.... Ie lost a fair bit and yes it's my own fault for weighing myself on a day that isn't weigh in day but I gain 3 lbs wen I stepped on and now imdepressed

I'm back to thinking 'I'm never going to lose 2 stone by June' really don't know how to get myself out of the bad frame of mind

My relationship with food is so suffocating.... 1 bad day is enough to tip me over the edge.... I'm not sure where the negative attitude has come from I've been alright had a bad week 2 weeks ago and just brushed it under the carpet and cracked on the following week - with losses but now I'm just down in the dumps

Do I put my scales away and just go by clothes? Or once a month weigh ins?
I'm all out of ideas and motivation right now .... I just seem to get to a point where I think I'm never going to be slim ever again so why bother trying (cringe saying it) but just can't seem to shake it

Seeing a gain can be very demoralising especially if your on plan and don't 'deserve' one however some people find NOT weighing even worse. If you need the regular confirmation that ....Yes! It is indeed slowly coming off!! .... But don't want to weigh too often and risk knocking yourself off plan....... Then I'd throw your scales out and weigh yourself in boots once a fortnight!

I weigh every few days as I like to see how my different food intakes, sodium, alcohol etc effects me. If I see a gain I like to unpick WHY it's there. It's helping me understand what my body likes and dislikes and what I need to avoid during my weight loss. But that's what works for ME. It may not work for anyone else lol

Oh...... And please dont give up!! You sounded so down in the dumps when I'm struggling I like to treat myself to something just for ME. It replaces the good old...... 'oh I'll have this chocolate to make me feel better' that landed me in chubbsville in the first place!!!

Go have a nice bubble bath, call a girlfriend for a gossip, order a new book or take yourself to the movies! Calorie free indulgence lol. My secret weapon is those fabulous bath bombs from Lush

Laura, remember your weight can vary by several pounds even over the course of a single day. Try and look at the overall trend and not let one weigh-in set you back.
