Anyone but me would be a bonus today Karion! You know that feeling when you are just NOT happy with yourself??? Well mine's today ... I've told myself to go - but I reply i have nowhere to go ... so i'm still here.
Hey F40GE,
unlike you to be down on yourself - you are usually so chipper.
anything we can help you with? or just something you gotta work through - you are usually there for others so call if ...... you know what!
We'll be here in some shape or form (oh for when I had shape other than blob !)
Sorry for delay, I had to pop over to your diary to see what the problem was!
Umm. So you are stuck with you are you? But who is you? Is it the shell around your bones? Or is there something deeper there?
What aren't you liking? Your soul or that wonderful body that ticks on day in and out without you thinking. Pumps blood around and sorts out everything whilst you get on with your day?
Sometimes we need to get things into perspective. Stop beating ourselves up for being human. Just...stop...deep breaths and relax. You haven't done anything evil, but you want to make some adjustments and it's not going to plan at the moment.
So what is the next step for you?

Ahhh bless thank you Mindless - just realised how far I haven't come. (Read my diary ... it'll make more sense!!)
Will probably be fine tomorrow! Thanks for caring though.

Don't know what to say to that Karion - so right but just hate myself at the moment. Sitting here with tears running down my cheeks - but if I had to say why ... couldn't answer. My OH just says if you don't like being overweight - do something about it .... and he's right - but why isn't it easy??? Was easy to go on - why so hard to come off. And if i do lose it again - will it go back on???
Right, just gone to your thread and had an update read (soz I thought I was subscribed), so please listen to Uncle Mindless
STAY OFF THE BLOODY SCALES
how many times have i been told - weigh yourself at the same time every week and not during the week, because weight fluctuates with water etc.
There is no way you will do yourself any favours by doing a daily hop, because the day before was good.
I am desperate to know how my week 1 is going but last year I did just what I am saying you shouldn't do.
Every day I went to the gym, worked my spheroids off and jumped onto the scales. Every day I took off more and more clothing to try and see a difference - guess what - stayed still.
So I got disillusioned and stopped going. 3 st later I am here starting all over again with a VOW so strong that I will only be weighed by my LLC on the usual day no matter how strong the urge is.
So unless you want a smacked wrist - keep posting and stay off the scales but on the wagon

Oh god no. It's tough. Only you can do it though. Only you can make those choices. You're the boss. I do know what you feeling. I'm sure we've all been there. Sometimes I'm just overwhelmed with it all.
The thing is that you can do this if that is what you want and you are fully commited to doing what is needed.
There's a quote that goes:
WHO IS YOUR OPPONENT? Your opponent is never really the player on the other side of the net, or the swimmer in the next lane, or the team on the other side of the field, or even the bar you must high jump. Your opponent is YOURSELF, that negative internal voice, that deludes you! Your level of determination... Your continuing commitment to strategize and perfect your situation and most importantly the willingness to allow yourself the power to be in control of that voice."
Must remember that myself sometimes!
Hugs to you. Bet you'll feel much more positive tomorrow.

Flirty... mindless is right. Please stop tormenting yourself with those scales..! You have come so far!
Life isn't easy and if it were as simple as it sounds to "lose it if you don't like it" then none of us would be here! So.. smacked wrists to your OH for being insensitive and hugs to you to encourage you that tomorrow is another day and another dawn and you will be fine! Honest! ((((((hugs)))))))

Bless! Uncle Mindless indeed - you are only 2yrs older than me!!! Just checked up on you!! Smacked hand for not having subscribed to my thread ......... think I sit here typing away for you not to read??!!!
You are right re the scales ... as a CDC I tell my clients that - but as I don't pay "myself" I've stopped counselling myself!! Mmmmmmmmmmm I know mad as a hatter!! I will stay off scales. But the point is when I started my diary last summer I was 9lb lighter than I am today. I have wasted all that time - and I should know better! Feel I have failed myself especially - plus others who had faith and hope in me. In fact i feel very emotional and s*** actually!
But as I don't want smacked hands .... will do as I'm told and behave! Certainly won't stop posting ... heaven forbid!
Oh and thanks ... you are a softie ... whatever the dude in the picture pretends!!!

Back again!
Hi Beverley
Just caught up with the thread, sorry to hear you've been feeling so down, not like you at all. Hope you're a bit brighter today, it's rough when you get down & struggle to get back up again.
Try to give yourself some of the (great) advice you give to your clients, what would you say to someone who was feeling the way you did yesterday, now say that to yourself & believe it. Be kind to yourself, you're always supporting everyone else, so remember to support yourself too. It's easy as a CDC to always be thinking of your clients & helping them along and forget to help yourself - bit like being a mum then! Look at all you have achieved rather than focus on where you feel you've gone wrong - it can be put right again & it will, just takes time.
Take care, stay away from those scales (bit of finger wagging) and have a good day.
