The holidays are upon us and the single thread that ties all holidays together is FOOD!!
I find myself wanting so many Holiday favorites. I'm constatly reminding myself, "too many carbs" or "it's not worth the calories". But despite my depriving myself of all those foods, my loss is still terribly slow and I'm not in a better mood because I've avoided the sugar.
I'm Moody and a little depressed, and even though I did lose 2 pounds this last week, My waist seems bloated and my pants are tight today. I am struggling!!
I'm keeping my attitude UP!
I am enjoying the holiday decorating and shopping (afraid of the bills in January). And my house is the brightest in the neighborhood. I've kept my mood up with cheerful music and decorating, tons of Xmas cards and several holiday parties. We are even taking a vacation next week. I know it's common for people to be depressed after the holidays. I'm, so, praying that I don't actually gain any weight. If I set the bar low, I won't get depressed. Next month I'll focus on LOSING BIG!
Are you struggling with the same issues?
I go for my 6 month check up on Wednesday!!
WOW, already 6 months. I'm not as thrilled with my weightloss as others are with theirs. I've been a slow loser and seem to be slowing down even more. I guess it's time to "pick-up" on my exercise... hey, that might help my mood too?? Well, "hair growth" might help too!!
