Irrational Negativity

I haven't posted on here in a while now, but I am thinking that's just what I need at the moment- somewhere I can reason through the turmoil that is engulfing my mind. As the title of the post suggests, I am feeling negative about my weighloss journey at the moment, but I know it to be an irrational negative feeling. Since I last posted, I lost a kg- happy days, but last weigh-in I lost nothing. It's since then that I have felt depressed. Its ridiculous I know- I have lost 32.5kg in total, and I look fabulous compared what I use to. Its going to be great to see everyone's reaction in the UK in a couple of week's time. But I had such a major desire to be at goal for when I got there, so I could say that's it!!! I completed the mammoth task! I've tried to take the pressure off myself by telling myself its ok if I don't make it, but I guess I'm not buying it at the moment! Dumb, I know, but I can't help what I feel... well I can, I just have keep trying to convince my heart with what my brain knows to be true- they are going to blown away, no matter if I still have 1.5kg to go. I guess I wanted to be at goal also, as I know I am going to put on weight while I am over there with all the socialising I'll be doing, I just wanted to get to goal before I pile more on again!!!!!

I am fearful my body has hit a bit of a plateau, so just in case, I am thinking of shaking up my exercise routine this week. I have to anyway, as they have a new class on when I would normally do Pump, so I am thinking about doing the replacement class (like Pump, but with some cardio chucked in, and different ways of lifting the weights) and instead of doing Body Combat tonight, bite the bullet and do the one class I have been scared of- the Spin class! It is meant to be the mother of all group classes for the amount of calories you burn doing it. So watch this space! We'll see how a change affects me. I am so worried.... please, please let me lose 1.5kg before I go the UK!!!

hello missy, i didnt realise you were so down, you should have said something to me. you have ten days to lose 1.5, most of which you would have demolished this weekend already mate, so try and stay positive and focus on how far you've come and not the tiny little baby step you have to go! you havent hit any plateau though, because you know why you didnt lose last week and thats the trick to it, its when you are doing everything right and still dont lose is when your in trouble! good luck with the spin class, i have heard about them, let me know how you go. and remember - your friends and family overseas cant tell if you have lost one extra kilo so make the most of your awesome trip and getting all those lovely comments- that will make you feel better im sure!!!
