Would you still feel so tortured by not being able to progress? What is the true goal you are hoping to achieve by losing weight? It's so common to think that our lives will be better on multiple levels when we lose weight; that people will treat us better and life will be carefree when we wear a smaller dress size. We have been drinking the Kool aide of the marketed message for decades now. It teaches us to put of joy until we reach a certain pinnacle and that if we don't get there we don't deserve it. It's fine to want to lose weight for whatever reason that drives you BUT stop waiting to allow yourself things that make you feel joy. Maybe of you change your goal to having more joy instead of losing more weight you will find that the thing you were hoping weight loss would do for you has always been there for the taking at any size. <br />Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03500924758437763216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20595227.post-7642313114079968532022-09-06T04:32:54.666-05:002022-09-06T04:32:54.666-05:00Glad to hear Mum is improving.

But a failure you are NOT.<br />Concentrate on you, your well-being and the weight loss will follow. <br />jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11000062075347416626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20595227.post-15047107389536835132022-09-05T16:30:06.733-05:002022-09-05T16:30:06.733-05:00Please give yourself some grace and time before yo...Please give yourself some grace and time before you bash yourself with self loathing for not losing a pound of weight. My goodness. It sounds like you hate yourself in every blog you post, except when you lose a lb or two. <br /><br /> Listen to your readers. They all tell you the same thing every time you post. Your mom being sick is one of the biggest stresses there is! Trying to make sure she is doing well and moving forward and then the move to your new house... double stress. Work... yup, stress. Your body is not going to lose weight with all that stress. <br /><br />So give yourself some time, please. Its about time you sit back and relax your head and body from worry over weight. So much more in life to enjoy! :) <br /><br />Wishing you only the best.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20595227.post-76116362142614464872022-09-05T15:05:40.315-05:002022-09-05T15:05:40.315-05:00Really good hearing your mother is on the mend.

Be in maintenance. It is so hard for me. I exercise regularly so I know that weight loss happens in the kitchen, not the gym. Being older & hypothyroidism doesn't help. I know I must work at it harder. But like you I am not giving up. It is a new month. I am going to simply get to it. We can do this.Paula Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16193381325829708384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20595227.post-48019595855810787892022-09-04T15:11:57.868-05:002022-09-04T15:11:57.868-05:00I am glad you hear your mom is making progress, ev...I am glad you hear your mom is making progress, even if it's really slow (which is completely normal after a stroke.) As for the weight loss one of the things I've learned and really internalized over the last 12 months is to stop beating myself up. It's ok to feel disappointed with myself but no more negative self-talk. I've regained a good amount of weight during our recent move but I don't feel bad about it and look forward to being a bit more settled so that I can restart my program. Between your own move, your job and what's happened with your mom you're dealing with a lot, you deserve nothing but self-compassion and grace.Kerstinhttps://kerstinmartin.substack.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20595227.post-62218320006164162202022-09-03T19:54:54.791-05:002022-09-03T19:54:54.791-05:00It sound like you been under stress.
