Day #2 Down:
I made it through yesterday. I am proud of myself. However, I was under my calorie target for the day, but over 1200. My body is beginning to feel better. I don't feel so bloated.
A collegue has recently lost a lot of weight. I'm not sure if I'm jealous or angry that I can't loose the weight as well. I find that she makes in appropriate comments and is very out spoken about her weight loss. Kind of makes the those of us that aren't as strict with our diets, feel like we are doing something wrong.
Actually, I think I'm having a sad couple of days. There isn't much that seems to make me happy...
10:00 - fight with husband, doesn't take much to make me cry, not happy, hate my body, hate that I've gained so much weight. I'm beginning to realize that when I gain weight, I feel like less of a person.

Hi Angie. Sorry you are in such a funk. I understand what you mean about hearing about someone else's successful weight loss. I think it's important to not compare to others, and just do the best that you can. Everyone is different - our metabolisms vary, and our ages, medications and emotions all have an effect on our weight loss. I try to compare myself to "myself" --- in other words: am I making better choices than I use to make? am I exercising more? As long as I know that I'm making positive changes, I know that I am becoming healthier -- and that's what really matters. Also -- "they" say it's better if we don't "hate our bodies" - our bodies are amazingly complex. We can be dissatisfied with our excess fat and want to lose it, but we are apparently much more successful in doing that - if we love our body and respect it. Best wishes to you.
