Weigh-in after week 4

Another week..

Starting weight: 125.5kg / 276.7lb
Previous weigh-in: 109.1kg / 240.5lb
Current weight: 107.9kg / 238lb

This week's loss: 1.2kg / 2.5lb

The only thing that seems to be going in the right direction lately is my weight. That's a positive in the midst of all this negative. I don't consider myself to be a very negative person, but these days I am. Or maybe it's some sort of a depression, I don't know. I have people I can talk to, but most of the time it's more comforting not to. I don't know how I muster the strength to eat healthy and exercise, what I'd most like to do is just sleep. Sleep until the pain is gone, and wake up to a new spring. Since that's not possible, I'm doing my best to just endure the pain and sadness.

 I find distractions in simple things though..There are things I have to avoid, especially music and movies with any kind of romance... But I play quiz games on my phone, watch old TV-series I haven't gotten around to watching.. I crochet a lot, which has a somewhat therapeutic effect .. I spend a lot of time looking on pictures on Instagram, and posting my own. Keeps me occupied for a few minutes, and I definitely need that!

  5. Focus on the positive...that you are in control of your eating and body. The snowball effect will eventually take place and your life will become much cheerier. (that's my plan at least!)

    You got this girl...hang in there!

  6. Okay, I'm feelin' like there is something going on with your marriage? Or maybe that of a friend or family member? Whatever it is, I hope you know that YOU are worthy of love, and you are doing a great job of showing yourself love by giving your body what it needs to thrive. I'm proud of you for staying strong through this sad, painful time. One day at a time Maren!

  7. One foot in front of the other, Maren. It may not seem like much just now, but it will get you to where you need to be.

  8. I am so sorry that you have to go through whatever it is you're going through (although, I think I have an idea of what it is). My mom always tells me "This to shall pass". Taking care of yourself will help you get through this tough time, and the positivity of it is you are in the 230's now!!! That is a great accomplishment! Thinking of you!
