Blah, blah, blah. I am frustrated. I feel like a complete lame-o. Why can't I do this? On top of being stuck on the scale, I'm frustrated that Emmy is NOT interested in potty-training, frustrated that none of my clothes or shoes fit, frustrated that I can't seem to do anything right, frustrated that Zach is still not sleeping through the night, etc., etc.
I need to re-group and get motivated again. What do you do when you're in a slump?
we tried for 2.5 days of potty training. he could do the pee thing just fine. woke up dry this morning. but i lost it with him this morning over the poop thing. then i cried like a big old baby. mikey and i went to sams to get a box of diapers at lunch and i bought a big ol' bag of reeses peanut butter eggs. that's how i'm dealing with this slump. you're doing hard things. change will come.
ReplyDeleteDON'T STOP! Losing weight is SO hard. I am losing SO SLOW but slow is better than nothing. I started at the beginning of the year and have only lost 10 lbs. JUST hit 10 lbs this week. You are doing great.. keep it up. As for the potty training and sleeping thru the night.. it'll happen. It may not happen right now, but it will happen eventually. Remember kids want to do things their way, just like you want it to go your way. We have to work around their schedules and it gets frustrating. Trust me, I know. I haven't had a kid potty train before 3 yet and it gets really old fighting them. The one thing I have learned is no matter how much I fought them to potty train, it didn't happen til THEY decided they wanted to. I think pushing them so hard almost made them fight harder to not potty train. Anyways.. being a mom and trying to keep the kids alive and fed is a hard thing while trying to lose weight. It's hard enough taking care of them while taking care of ourselves. But we can do it. Don't give up and I won't either!
ReplyDeleteFind pictures of yourself when you where at your healthy weight. I found one of me the other day, and I was so stoked about it, that I did an extra arm workout that day. And on those days when you just don't feel like doing anything, just don't think, do it. I find I can talk myself out of anything if I think about it too long.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys.
ReplyDeleteBeth, I don't think that would work for me, but I'm glad it did for you and you are having success with this whole weight loss thing! (and the potty training). I'm jealous.
Stacy, 10 lbs is great!
Hayley, I may have to come over to eat some Reeses eggs! :)
