Re: Ready to give up! (vent warning) | | i dont know where you're buying your food from but i'm spending less on groceries than i ever did. mostly because I dont go shop at whole foods where everything is expensive.
If you're sick of cheese, -dont eat it-. If you're sick of chicken and sausage and beef, -eat turkey and fish-. if you hate salad veggies, -go find some you like-. that veggie list is frigging long as my arm. if you've finished 2 weeks, move onto owl so you have more food choices. you need to get yourself under control because it sounds to me like you're throwing a temper tantrum because you haven't lost as much as you wanted to. i doubt if you were down 20lbs you'd be freaking out like you are.
over my first 3 weeks, i lost about 5lbs. that included losing almost 10 my first week then -gaining- the next two weeks. freaking out and crying and stamping your foot doesn't solve anything. what does solve it is looking over your menu. check your percentages, cut out the things you think might be stalling you (cheese and sausage for me personally), check your water and your fat intake, and excercise every day.
you need to learn to fiddle around with your menu until you find out what messes you up, and you need to check the labels on -everything-. the other day i bought fish that was processed with whey and milk. wtf! if you can't go to the bathroom, you need to up your fiberous veggies, try flax or those husk thingies, and work out.
even if you do all that right, your body will lose when it feels like losing. what is the point of getting frustrated? you are 3lbs lighter! you could be 3 lbs heavier. so why do you ask if it doesnt work for you, it obviously does. you need to be an active participant in your own success, pay attention to what you think may stall you, and don't use not losing as fast as a boy as an excuse to start the cycle of gaining all over again. no weight loss program is going to help you if you want to give up when it doesn't happen as fast as you want it to.
