Awww honey!! I know exactly how you feel. I've been so down on myself the last couple of days. But you are wonderful, and sweet, caring, funny as hell, bright, industrious--and a great wife and mother. You have much to be proud of. I think you're awesome, and I know I'm not the only one here at WLF who does. :hug2::hug2::hug2::beating::beating:

Yeah, I will admit that other EB I posted was a bit scary. Ever seen the movie dead ringers? Makes a girl never wanna go to the gyno ever again!! lol

And what is with all the :beatdeadhorse5:?? I think the animal rights people are gonna have us arrested for animal cruelty..lol :D

Snap out of that negativity and get back to work on weightloss. I know you can do it--you've been doing so well lately.

Love you!!
 
Stacy

You are a success in many ways.

I often tell you what a good mother you are - and that your family are lucky to have you.

You are a great friend and support buddy to me and plenty of others too.

You are a capable, intelligent young woman - who could do almost anything she set her mind on. You have great communication and networking skills.

You know all this is true.

So the bottom line is that your period is due and your hormones are playing you up. Recognise it for what it is. There is nothing wrong with your weight loss project - that is progressing well. You are keeping to a sensible level of calories and you are doing exercise. OK - your calories were 90 over your challenge range - but visualise 90 calories - it is not a lot. If you work through the maths I am sure that you will lose weight on 1840 calories for the day - and not a great deal differently that you would have with 1750 calories for the day. Any weight that you gain at this point will be water retention and is not fat. If your weight does not fall this week - it will fall that much further next week. Any week probably 1 in 4 of your female friends will be experiencing the same thing. I am retaining water at the minute.

I am sure that Sheryl has told you that exercise is extra productive against fat at this time of the month - so you might get an even better loss next week if you can get that exercise in.

In no way are you failing - you are succeeding.

Oh - and anyone who told you that you were ugly when you were a child clearly needed a guide dog and a white stick. Ages ago you posted a couple of photos of you as a teenager - and it was pretty obvious that you were never ugly.

Take care
Love
Margaret

I think my melt down is just a combo of stress/disorders/and pms.

Plus just the fact I really can't stand failing.

It just sends me into flashbacks of my childhood of bein told I'd never amount to anything/I was stupid/ugly/I didn't try hard enough/and so on.

I try so very hard to keep that shit locked up and forgotton but it always haunts me and I don't know how to get rid of it.

I'm so sorry to hear that!!! :hug2: :hug2: :hug:2: Please relax and think about what Kimberly and Margret have said, they know what they're talking about. Self worth and self esteem come from inside, even when the deterioration triggers come from outside. Build yourself up and concentrate on reminding yourself what a successful mother you are, wife, and how well you take care of your entire family and yourself at the same time. In the luteal phase (right before your period) your body actually needs about 100+ extra calories, which is why us women tend to eat more then. When all is said and done, you won't gain anything. And you're SUCCEEDING not failing, not at all. OK? Please feel better! :beating:
 
OMG...My eyes are so swollen..

I will have to keep sunglasses on while grocery shopping.. :rolleyes:

That was such a massive melt down.

I was actually hoping to wake up and start but I haven't yet.

That has not happened in a long time.

Make me feel like a complete crazy person.

Then, I had to explain to hubby what happened bc he knew something went on bc of my eyes.

How embarrassing!

He made me laugh though bc he said... "It's gonna be ok honey. I want you to get to the store - really stock up - clean the house - get all the laundry done - make some meals and put in the freezer - then we'll check you in at the looney hospital."

I cracked up and then play hit him and said.. "Yep..you wanna make sure you and Cory don't have anything ta worry about while I'm gone huh?"

I still feel really down...

I guess it's time for a check-up as well...

In the past when I have have bad melt downs, they have to give me 7 days worth of hormones bc everything is out of wack.
That usually helps.

Due to having so many chemical inbalances with the disorders, my body can really get nuts.

Thanks so much you guys for your beautiful words and support. Really means a lot. :hug2:

I gotta go get dressed and get my tail to Kroger.
It'll be a long visit bc we are out of everything!

It's gonna be busy as well bc of TG Shoppers.

:willy_nilly:

TX Sunshine, YOUR A WONDERFUL LADY!, FANTASTIC MOM! SUPER WIFE, AND you are NO WHERE NEAR UGLY, so just throw that thought right out the window or down the crapper for that matter. I wouldn't keep coming back to your diary if I didn't think it helped me everyday. Your very inspiring, your a great motivator! I love your positive words, and I about wet myself every time you call me sneeker poo. LOL LOL LMAO!!!!!!!:smilielol5:

It's certainly a HORMONE thing girlie, NO DOUBT!! It will pass by soon, so just take it day by day!! And as for the failure remark, how could you say that when you have already lost all this weight. You look great!

I hope your day is better, and maybe you should do something special for yourself this weekend. I'll try to check in this weekend if I can.
Love to you friend!!
Sneeker Poo
 
Kudos James and Kim!

Chin up and I hope that your hormones are A-OK. Love ya!~
 
Y'all are so funny and supportive. That's why I love this place!! Man, no one better mess with Stacy at the store, b/c she WILL get crunk today!

Haha! I love ya, honey Sugar Lips. I missed the part about you being ugly. Well, that is just a bunch of hooey! My Sugar Lips is NOT ugly. :D And I'll get crunk on anyone who says you are. :reddevil::reddevil:

Margaret is so right about this being hormonal. Don't let that damn RHC get to ya.

James won't be taking my H fishing or buying him a beer anytime soon, b/c whenever I'm having a bad day, he usually gets mad at me for being upset!! Bastard. :rant:

Yikes!! That's a lot of $$. But that's like 2-3 weeks' worth, isn't it? I'm off to the store now, myself, and am hoping to get out of there for less than $60. I already spent $28 last night at another store. :)

Glad you got your shopping done. :hurray::hurray: That has got to be a relief. :)
 
Yep, that's for almost 3 weeks..

Should only have ta pick up milk/sodas when they run out..
