So down

[shesliketx]

I feel like a failure. I have been in a funk since we went on vacation in December. Dh got into an incident and his jaw was broken..2 surgeries and a hospital stay later he is fine. We came home, and now we're getting ready to move across the country and buy our first home. I never feel well. I had a dr appt today but had to move it to tomorrow because ds fell and hit his chin pretty hard and I had to take him to the dr (he's fine, just some bruising/swelling).

I am trying to stay on track after my 10lb weight gain over our month of "vacation". And it's harder and harder. I don't feel like going to work out, I'm freezing all the time, my hair is coming out in clumps of strands. Dh is spending money on frivolous things because he wants them right now. I have 2 inch dark roots and 2 shirts that fit me, but wont do anything for myself because I don't want to spend the money....

I have been doing okay with my eating habits, but I tend to self sabatoge when I get overwhelmed, add in no motivation to even do well, and I'm a mess. Ugh. I just want to sleep all day.

Giant hugs. I know for me when we moved in spetember I gained weight just from the stress of that. And it was only across town. this must be very difficult for you. Try and stay as relax as you can. Maybe just fouce on one healthy weight loss goal for now like veggies or water. Kinda deal atleast til you get the results back from doctor.
I hope things start getting better for you. Hugs.

I have control issues. I know that a lot of the stress is my own doing. I just want to curl up in a ball and go to bed. Or eat a huge pizza. Hah.

Lol ya I here ya. I have ocd. And I need things in there place lol. Maybe make a healthy version on pizza? Whole wheat english muffins or whole wheat wraps. And tonns of veggies !
Also if you have bananas in the house they are a great fruit for feeling blah. Gl

Totally understand! I can so relate. Things have been super stressful this year so far in my life as well. I've been off track for most of this month it seems like. It's just so hard to focus on eating well and working out when so much else is going on.

[shesliketx]

It's my cheat meal for the week. It's not that big of a deal, I've done really well so far. I just want to "check out" of life for a while I guess.

Oh man that sucks I'm sorry :( I'm totally with you...I'm very much an emotional eater...but I find if I just exercise and "get it done" I feel way better than a junk meal will make me feel, and for longer too. Make little goals for yourself, and small rewards. Don't give up!

I think you should get your thyroid checked because that's how I was when it was really off.  :)  Either way you can get back to it just go day by day.

That's what I suspect is wrong. I have an appt for it tomorrow and to be checked for cushing syndrome. After my 1st son was born I had post Partum thyroiditis and I think that's what's going on again.

My heart goes out to you mama and I hope you get some answers at the doctor tomorrow!  Hugs to you!

Hugs momma! Stress sucks in general. I hope your doctor appointment sheds some light for you. Exercise is a great stress relief though. It is hard to start but you'll feel better when you are done!
