Ugh, I hate this

I just hate it, I hate tracking, I hate watching the scale, I hate not fitting into my old clothes, I hate being obsessed with this whole process, I hate talking about it, I hate you will power.

That felt good.

I gained a pound this week: 189. I just get so frustrated. I never went over in weekly flex point which I think is the most frustrating. And I know I'm stress eating. I was just mad about it this morning, the fact I'm so "good" and still gain that I ate some Reese's Cups. I know, wrong way to handle it, but I was dying for them, so I'll just track and move on to this next week.

I think the worst thing about this week is that I am stress eating for sure (well, and TMI - PMSing doesn't help either). I have a couple of big projects I need to get done before I leave this job for my new one and it's getting to me. But, it's not just this, it's a combination of my job and life and freelance. Sometimes I feel a little overwhelmed but say to myself, I just gotta keep pushing through... then what do I do to make myself feel better, I eat. WW suggests finding non-food related de-stressers like a pedicure or working out, etc... this can get tricky when you have 2 small kids and a husband that works late 3 times a week (then feels the need to work out for hours on the weekend and do yard work for another couple of hours) and when you do have a bit of free time you have laundry or dishes to do. I know these are all excuses, WW says that you need to stop making excuses and just make time for yourself but sometimes this is a hard task.

OK, gotta look at the good side, here are some updated stats:

Weight: -27 lbs
Arms: -1.5 inches
Hips: -4 inches
Bust: -2.5 inches
Waist: -5 inches
Thighs: -2.5 inches
Dress Size: -2 sizes

Sorry I was Debbie Downer this week. I just thought I would have been farther than I am. I guess I was just expecting unrealistic goals and I just need to keep going and not worry about the slow pace. My body is doing what it needs to do, and I'm losing at a healthy pace, I just wish it wasn't the pace of a turtle.
