I've been feeling pretty down for a couple of days. Not having a job + feeling fat = pretty unhappy Nicole. 
I guess I should be enjoying the down time, especially as the telemarketing job was SOOO crap, but I just have the worst tendency to mope when I have nothing to do. It's only been a week... moping already.
In less mopey news: We finally got a satnav! About freaking time. In NZ I never would have bothered, we just don't have enough roads (no, seriously!), but over here it's just so easy to get lost. I'll be using it Wed morning to get to the airport, which is about an hour away. I've only driven there once and even with BF navigating we got hopelessly lost. It was stressful! Not what you want when you have a flight to catch. So yeah, on Wed off to the Netherlands to stay with my friend from Uni who has moved over there. Hopefully won't feel too fat and blimp-like to have a fun time. I know it doesn't pay to dwell on the past, but I just DIDN'T realise how far I had come when I got down to 226lbs. When I get back down there again I'm gonna give myself all the congrats that I didn't last time.
awww, sorry you are feeling mopey and down! Hopefully the upcoming trip cheers your spirits! |
There's nothing like mopiness to destroy weight-loss efforts. Sigh. I am struggling with the same thing, and I will tell you what I am trying to convince myself: succedding with the weight-loss will actually help me feel better about myself, more powerful and successful, and so help destroy the mopiness...eating poorly and not excericising only feeds into it and eliminates the chance to feel good about something. Really good point about giving yourself congrats for coming so far. I need to do that too. |
And be sure to give yourself congrats for realizing what a difference you had made and for getting back on track again!! That alone is worth it! And besides, you know you can do it again. I know you can do it again, too :) HAVE FUN on your trip! Don't let this stuff pull you down for one more minute. Life is too short and too precious for that. |
