Getting very discouraged

I know I am not the only one who has ever felt this way, but I am getting really discouraged. I am in alot of pain, and everything I do is a chore. Walking up 13 stairs to go to bed I'm huffing and puffing. I sit here I'm in pain, I stand I am in pain. I move in my sleep I wake up in pain. How does everyone cope with it. I feel my body just cant handle the weight and I am doing damage each time I move. My patients are running thin. I know my turn will come, I just wi**** would come sooner than later. :-)

I'd like to encourage you to use this for good. I'll explain.

I am now 4.5 months out and starting to forget how bad it was. The NSV's are now coming, and I'm having lots of moments when I suddenly realize, after the fact, that I can now do things I couldn't do before. It's amazing.

In these moments, right now,  where you are feeling the pain, the frustration, the physical exertion, write it all down right away. Document exactly how awful it is.

Because later this is gonna serve to spur you on. To help you remember why you are doing all of it in the first place. When the honeymoon phase is over, you'll also have a powerful tool to us to help you remember why you don't want to go back to where you were before.

And I'm telling you, at the one year point, when you have the before and after pictures, take a before and after comparison of how far you have come.

It is *so frustrating* in the waiting phase, but do everything you can to use it for good  (((hugs)))

Amen!   Couldn't agree more.  A wonderful, supportive, truer than we know, response.

Write this down.

Keep this post.

Take photos *NOW* -- the unhappiness and pain you are feeling is showing in your expression -- you want a record of that.

I have my before photo on my refrigerator ... all out there, in my bathing suit.

Your time will come, but never forget where you come *from*.

mmm

I totally agree - use this to fuel your fire!!! I had this, I started a journal/smash book. I wrote down all the crap I hate about being overweight - obese. I hate how hard it is, the effort to just do some friggin laundry, or sweating for no reason - write them down, take pictures, measurements. When your time comes, and it will, you will want this ****ty feeling that you have now to continue to inspire you. It will give you the feeling of "never again"

You are fed up and ready for change and when change comes you will be soooo ready!!

Thank you all for you awesome support and responses. I will do as you suggested. 

I know exactly how you feel...

I do love the journal aka smash book idea.
