ive been sticking to my points so far this week everyday but after i read "your week" from ww this week ive got my head in a right mess, theres a bit about weight loss myths and i always thought u had to eat all your points everyday or save 4 or u will stay the same and not lose, the thing in your week said that you dont have to eat all your points each day as long as you dont go below 14 points a day. This is probably the worst thing i could ever read because now im thinking well if i eat less points i'll lose more, going off my history with food its not a great thing to be thinking... i dont want to get into old habits of eating a piece of toast and thats about it a day. i know that wouldnt be 14 points but im just always going to be thinking that the less i eat the more i'll lose now after reading that. it even says that in the magazine thing, less points you eat = more weight loss. its totally stupid that anyone trying to promote a healthy lifestyle would possibly say that, never mind print it in something every member is going to read. It really has messed with my brain... its not in a very good state anyway and just something else to add to its craziness. i spend most of the day thinking about weight watchers and food, i hate that i can become so obsessive about things. ive injured my hip by exercising too hard and too long and ignoring the pain because i cant seem to go a day without exercising or else i feel bad and feel guilty till it eats away at me and i get up and exercise anyway. i know thats going to end up damaging my hip more and im in agony with it all over again now after 2 days off exercising and then being stupid and doing too much this morning. Im so angry with myself at the moment, i just want to lose weight and its all ive ever wanted. i guiltily jumped on the scales last night and my scales say ive put 4lbs on since wednesdays weigh in. its really made me feel terrible and i know i should never weigh more than once a week but its a bad habit of weighing myself everyday that ruins my progress. if i put weight on this week at weigh in i will be so angry because ive pointed. i always think i will put weight on wen i go to ww. i was even disappointed with the 4lb loss last week because i expected more with it being my first week. a normal week i would be extatic with that loss. i dont know whats happening to me, im so pissed off with life right now, things are going so wrong and i just feel like crying
Ok hun...sit back, take a breath...
Don't cry sweetie.
Firstly, I can fully relate to how you are feeling. I can understand how bloody hard and tough dieting can be. It's not as easy as "just eat less". It's a physical, and even more so - an emotional battle.
As hard as it is, just try and go back to the basics. Stick to the points you need to have for your gender, height, age etc as this is the number you need to have in order to lose weight healthily. I have no idea why they are saying "the less points, the better" as it's obvious that would be starving/depriving yourself of nutrients your body needs in order to function/stay healthy.
It's so so easy to get stuck in a rut when it comes to dieting and you think you need to exercise every day and eat next to nothing when you don't hun. Your body is obviously crying out for a rest - hence the pain so try and listen to your body hun. It's telling you to slow right down.
You CAN do this - you absolutely can. There's nothing that can stop you, you just have to keep going. It's never going to be easy, but when you feel like it's all getting on top of you just take a step back, go and have a nice hot bath and relax. You know what to do to lose weight healthily, otherwise WW wouldn't be successful.
Come on darling, pick yourself up, dust yourself off and give yourself some credit.
We are always here if you want a chat and I'm so sorry you're feeling low. I hope you feel better x
