I'm not having a good day. Two weeks into BFL, my second free day for the program. No excercise today, eat whatever for the day.

I don't want to feel this way. I wish I could get this out of my head, but it seems like yesterday and today I have convinced myself that NOTHING is ever going to work to help me lose the rest of this fat. Low carb worked at first, sometimes still does, but it doesn't really work as well for me as it used to. I can't seem to stick to it perfectly anyway, and "generally" low carb doesn't work at all, not for me, not anymore. Low calorie doesn't seem to work, in fact that may be what is wrong, I'm just not eating enough calories. I have a hard time convincing myself of that and I may be wrong anyway so that one is a question mark in my mind. Working out, even as seriously as I have been doing the last two weeks, well that is another question mark. I thought it was working, but today and yesterday I have felt fatter than ever so I don't even know if the times before that I was just fooling myself or what. I'm feeling a little lost right now. discouraged and frustrated. I think my hormones are working against me.

I feel like if I were a guy, and doing all that I've done, and eaten the way I've eaten these last two weeks, I would have all sorts of progress to report right now. Men have it easier than women when it comes to losing weight. Not fair, but true.

I'm bummed out.

Sorry to hear that you are having a rough day :( -- Lynne, 15:18:05 09/15/02 Sun
Oh, Sherry!! -- Julie Anne, 15:54:49 09/15/02 Sun
Sherry, you are doing great and you are SOOOO far ahead of me. I don't have much to lose, but darn I'm a lazy thing! The whole exercise aspect passes me by. Or should I say, I pass IT by? Your workouts may not seem like they are benefitting you right now, but they definitely are and you have developed the discipline to workout on a consistent basis. My hat is off to you. Hang in there. (NT) -- jaytee, 17:09:34 09/15/02 Sun
- Thanks you guys. I went shopping and got my mind off it. I was going to get a haircut, but the lady there said they were booked til closing. Anyway I feel better I will restart tomorrow morning and every morning through the 12 weeks. If 12 weeks passes and I make no progress...well it would have passed anyway. I guess at least I'm still trying (NT) -- Sherry, 17:48:07 09/15/02 Sun

Have faith..... -- Joe, 19:28:39 09/15/02 Sun
- Good advice Joe. I don't think I can follow it because I guess I'm just a naturally obsessive person. I really want this to work and I'm constantly looking for a sign that it is or isn't working. I don't weigh three or four times a day though if my morning weight isn't low it isn't going to get any lower. (NT) -- Sherry, 21:29:27 09/15/02 Sun
  - Sherry why don't you just TRY following Joe's advice? You have nothing to lose, as you said yourself, if at the end of 12 weeks you're still the same, it would have passed anyway. So why not apply that philosophy to your obsessive need to weigh/measure/caliper yourself? (NT) -- Kel, 06:35:34 09/16/02 Mon
