MrsTofu's Journal, 30 September 2014

Still under 150, but seems like I am losing ground (again). Emotionally I feel overextended. Currently I am awash with frustration, futility, apathy/complacence, dismay, and if I am honest enough to admit it-- despair and discouragement. Cognitively I get that I "feel" stuck and that things just aren't improving or really going to improve, and that attitude is one of the biggest obstacles to progress. (I once saw someone wearing a shirt that said, "The man who thinks he can't and the man who thinks he can, both are right..." I don't remember the rest of it, but that part was profound enough to stick with me.) One of the biggest obstacles I think I face personally is feeling largely disorganized. So I need to find a way to start doing that. Yet I feel frustrated also because I feel like sometimes my family just doesn't get it. I can't do this without them, and it doesn't exactly feel like they are helping or even trying to work with me (more in terms of household organization than personal weight management, but I think if I felt things were better there I could focus on improving my diet/ exercise habits).

I know exactly what you mean, I have much the same with my partner, I have found this group http://www.flylady.net/ very helpful in getting me organised. You certainly do not have to spend any money to join up or use the site for help. Every time I feel like I am losing the battle against chaos I go back to the site and follow the steps. It gets easier and really does help. Good luck and hang in there. big hug to you
