Week 3 going now into week 4 Week 3 embracing the suck has really kicked my butt. I was on a roll positive thinking trying to really embrace and change my thinking. Then it happens....life...unravels bouncing from apt to house. Bad news health issues with family, children issues and the list continues at such a rapid pace. I was so focused first couple weeks it was almost to easy. Week 3 was rocky. All though I ate well, I found my body was truly clean of all the sugar and junk I had been fueling it with and for what ever reason I found myself screaming for sugar, chips, salty sweet, diet cokes or potatoes something ....well I caved to the diet coke twice and all though we tested ourselves at dinner Friday by going out to eat as we began to feel board with the food, so we shared salad, small app of grilled shrimp, steak and Joe took on the veggies but I caved to a sweet potato and I caved to a diet coke. We ate pretty good but found myself bloated from the potato and then disappointed I caved. The reset of the week I managed to eat P&P but I know my water in take was way down. While getting the appliances back into the kitchen the kids wanted pizza so I embraced the suck left the pizza alone and ate salad. So I still am fighting just feel like I don't know how long I can sustain. I didn't get to the gym but I did work on my house paint, cleaning out sanding so on and so on as we are so close to get back in and I am so ready to get out of this apartment. Someone cut the screen on the back porch stole my son's brand new mountain bike he uses to get back and forth to work. Naturally has nothing to do with this but it absolutely does as it just added to the stress of the day. Unexpected murphy's law type of situations left and right. Nothing was routine and just seemed all week we were bouncing from here to there busy work. Scale didn't move. I am fighting all the old food cravings and late night eating worse so than early on. Possibly due to my stress eating habits. I was moving and thanks to prep and no junk available I was not on the couch eating chips watching tv but I am coming into week 4 and I am sorry but I wish I was positive but I am just feeling defeated. I get to a point and think how do you sustain the change and be able to feel positive through it? I embraced it all week but trust me I was not happy embracing.....how do you embrace the suck and it not still suck!? I have been following the threads but just haven't had as much time to respond and actually felt guilty for the way I feel or felt at the time because I see such positive support but I just was not able to participate and be honest about how I was feeling. How do you sustain such a change and be so positive? Am I the only one feeling like this? I am not a negative nancy and I do my best to help others and be positive and I do fight hard to hold on or just give it my best no matter what it is. I am just not feeling like I got this, and I can keep it going.
