Feeling kind of down tonight
As I sit here in front of my computer, I feel sadder than I have all summer. After stepping on the scale this morning and see such a gain, and then even buying a new battery for the scale and not seeing a whole lot of a difference with the new battery I just don’t feel that great.
I am truly missing my friends from work, and then I realized tonight that there are no Friends left at work other than the art and spanish teachers. I am planning on going to the school tomorrow to work on my classroom, but my heart isn’t in it. I have a pile of things that I wanted to do over the summer to prepare for school and here I am 3 weeks before school starts and I haven’t even picked up any of it. I am hoping that tomorrow I will get my self into the mood, and get out of this sad mood. I need to start focusing on school and getting things ready for my students. I need to get back my motivation that I had in June before this “funk” hit. I need to have my mind on other things besides what will the scale say. It has been hard to avoid the snacking while I am home all day. I have been really good about it, but it will be nice to be at school all day again where I don’t have to worry about it so much. I pack my lunch and snacks and that is all I have to worry about.
I just don’t get this whole “funk” thing in the first place. I am normally a very happy person. I have never felt like this and it has been bugging me a lot lately. I know it is partly the meds I was on and which I am no longer on, and the other part is missing work and being home all day by myself while my hubby is at work.
Thanks for listening. I am hoping that tomorrow morning when I step on the scale it will not still be saying that I have gained 10 pounds. It just isn’t possible.Hopefully my scale just needs to adjust to the new battery I put in it. Good night all!

it can be so frustrating when you work so hard to lose weight and the darn scale says you gained. i think it’s safe to say all of us ladies who struggle with our weight have been there.
the numbers on the scale mean a lot to all of us, but it’s important that we step back and keep things in perspective. our bodies go through natural ebs and flows. weight loss and gain are related to things other than just fat percentage.
you know you’ve done well, and even if your body is being stubborn right now, don’t let it get you down or defeat you. you keep on pushin’, doing the things you know will help you lose, and the number on that scale WILL drop again.
Hey, girl, don’t let those numbers on the scale get you down. Just keep doing what you have been doing! You know you have been doing it all right. I have been too and my scales aren’t moving, but I know how my clothes are fitting and I know I am eating healthy and that means I am getting healthier! Hang in there!
Big HUGS!
Hey you - put the scales away & only look at them once a wk! Bodies take 5-7 days to regulate themselves to a new pattern of eating - so give yourself a chance.!
The scale can be out best friend or our worst enemy. I gave up on the numbers. My scale has gone up for the last two weeks a point or two yet my clothes feel loser and fit better. That is how I judge my success. How do you feel, maybe inches are going down and the scale just has not reflected it yet. Don’t give up. The weight did not come on overnight and it will take just as long to come off. An unfortunate reality I had to come to grips with.
