Do you ever feel like...

[shawnnam]

Do you ever feel like you're never going to reach your goal weight? I am kinda down today and I just have this thought in my mind that I can't do it, that it is impossible. I know that sounds stupid, because it is not impossible and this forum is proof of that. But, does anyone ever have off days and feel like their goals are just too far away and you'll never reach them?

Like I said, just not too great of a day.

Sorry you feel that way

I know what you mean, I get a lot of days like that. Usually when I see a number I know I shouldn't, like a gain and I can't understand why I gained. But emotional ups and downs are part of the journey just as weight up and downs. You need to find something to distract you from that feeling, be positive. Stick to your goals and talk to someone. I find that when I speak my mind to a friend or get on the elliptical I de-stress and feel a little more balanced which brings me back to believing I can do it, and I will do it.

Hope you shift out of your funk ^_^

Thanks for the reply I was just really down yesterday, but I didn't give in to emotional eating, stayed on my meal plan, and I am done with my little pitty fest today Waking up to see a smaller number on the scale always makes me happy.

I think everyone feels that way at some point - and not just about weight loss. I know that there are times at work that I just feel like i'll never learn everything I should know. There are times when I'm looking at my photography and comparing it to someone else that I feel like I'll never be a really great photographer.

Then it passes.

Everyone has emotional ups and downs. The trick is not to let them make you do something stupid - like quit your job, throw away your camera equipment, or eat a half a chocolate cake.
