I weighed myself this morning, and I'm SO frustrated. The scale hasn't budged in 2 weeks. Not a pound.... not even a half a pound! I seem to be stuck right at 159. And yes, it does make me feel like giving up. I'm less than a week away from my 1/2 way point, and my success feels...well... meh. I do feel like I'm eating a lot better during the week, getting in a lot more workouts, and that I'm much healthier in general. But I'm frustrated with where my goals are, and how far away they still seem.
I keep saying to myself that weight loss takes time... but it's definitely discouraging to not see the scale moving anymore. Sigh.
On top of that, my boss has been berating me for stupid shit lately. I've been working here for over 4 years now, and I've made a couple of silly mistakes that I've never made before - but you know what? Shit happens. And my boss has been getting on my case about it. Hey, you know what? I'm not perfect. No one is. And a lot of other people would have been screwing stuff up over & over again, but this ONE TIME that I mess up, I get reprimanded as though it happens all the time. BULLSHIT. I need to find a new job. I'm so pissed off right now.
Needless to say, I fell off the wagon last night. Just a bit.
Yes, I fed my anger and frustration with food and booze, and I shouldn't have. In fact, it ended with me running to the bathroom during the night because my body wasn't happy with me.

ReplyDeleteDon't worry about the stupid scale or your stupid boss (I'll dropkick him/her later) and don't you DARE give up or I'll dropkick you too. You're not really doing this because of a silly number, are you? Seems to me the point is to feel better about yourself and get stronger and healthier in the process. That scale is not a mirror and that number is not a reflection of the beautiful person that you are.
Now, cheer up, shithead! ;)
Yeah, what she said!!! Up until last week I went up and down between the same 5 pounds for 3 or 4 weeks before last week. Even on weeks I thought I had really kicked my own ass. It's frustrating, but it will pass, and you will make your goals. :) And I bet that late night trip to the bathroom made you totally lighter!

And, sometimes it takes a while for your body to adjust and actually start responding to what you're doing. Keep rockin' it, lady! And let me know where I can find those blue cheese olives.
