I want to be honest on this blog and although the scales are obviously moving in the right direction I feel miserable. Sorry! I know I am supposed to be all positive and happy and I feel quilty because surely this is what I want? Weight loss!! This is what I have been dreaming of! So happy - yes?
No, sorry, miserable is not the right word. I am simply a right horrible cow (okay bitch - there I said it!) at the moment!! I am snappy which is not me. Very very short fuse kind of snappy. Horrible. So here is a pretty picture to brighten my day... Buggar off misery!
I think it is sugar. It is my body begging me to eat some kind of rubbish. I am not hungry. Yet my body is slapping me with headaches from hell. Slightly blurry vision at times. All that, I can deal with but this is not me. This weekend I have been pretty vile and it is not a nice feeling.

This is probably the stage where I usually break. Feeling low I suppose you are more tempted by the evil sugar trying to lure you back. Yet I know I will not.
I am not sitting crying in a dark room or anything like that. For those who know me - I am usually happy and smiling. This weekend a smile has just been a bit of an effort rather than a natural thing. That is all. Nothing drastic.
I am tired too. Storms have been waking me up in the night and then my body has screamed abuse at me from groin muscles that got lost in the 90s or hamstrings that have been lying dormant for years. Top that with horrible skin and it is just rubbish!
So I need to really channel the positivity. Believe me you have all been fantastic. High fives on the school run, messages and I even got a little gift through the post which lifted me sky high! I promise not to crack.
Mr Big has suggested I am not drinking enough. Was hoping that meant a glass of wine but no, not even a cheeky spritzer. He means water. #boring
So evil sugar - you will not beat me - I will not break.
Hey babe, I am with you - I bought the book quit sugar for life 8 weeks detox - its great. I have cut out almost completely so I understand the headaches and foul moods!!! Keep with it - a few more days and you will feel quite different - I now actually get a headache if I eat too much sugar as my body is not used to it. If you fancy meditation to help calm the mind some time you are welcome to join me at home - I just do simple guided ones but sometimes it is good to have the time set aside with someone to make sure you do it xxx As long as the weight is going down that is a plus :-)
ReplyDeleteStop beating yourself up! Change isn't easy and everyone will still love you even though you are a bit cranky. Have a good cry, then laugh at yourself in the mirror at how awful you really look after you've cried and move on. I know it's really naff, but Josie Gibson the BB Winner has lost 6st doing what you are doing. Read about how she did it (Daily Mail Online). Sometimes it helps to read about success stories to keep you going. I watched her on the Right Stuff one morning and she was saying what a cow she was when she gave up sugar but now she feels a million dollars. And being happy. Totally over rated. It's fab being grumpy. I'm testimony to it!!!!! Jx
