going crazy


I know loosing weight isn't easy! I know it takes time! But there are so many variables! Like sleep and water and time of day and sodium intake! Ugh!!! I am stalling right now! my weight for a week has been 202.4! I have tried different food and had NO success! I have a cold so I thought I could go with not eating dairy for a while. It has messed me up! My routine was yogurt with fruit, cottage cheese with tomato, and normal chicken and veggie dinner! I was loosing weight! of course low fat and fat free dairy ! So I guess I need to go back to that diet! But I am trying to not get this cold!!! Advice??
Also on the whole sleep thing!I have four kids! As all of you mothers know not having sleep is normal! But I am dying!!! Between all these colds, baddreams and peeing the bed, I AM TIRED!!! I went to the optometrist yesterday and he said my eyes have trouble focusing because of fatigue! (I came home and told my husband and he asked if I told the dr. I never get sleep or if the dr. said it to me! thanks Dan!!) I try and take a nap but I am sure it is not a far stretch to hear someone in my house say " But I don't get a nap at my job!"!
SO I am going through my days frustrated, tired, and going crazy!!! UGH!!!

First of all, "someone" may not get to have a nap at their job, but that someone also is not at his job 24/7.

That being said, I have always found more success in my weight loss by switching up my food intake. The 2 times I've done Weight Watchers I would ALWAYS plateau at a certain point & found that only by mixing up my food, did I continue on the downward spiral. AND sometimes I even had to eat a little more than I was used to because my body was in starvation mode and would begin hoarding any fat that I consumed.

It's a tough ride, and I know that sleep (or the lack thereof) and illnes play a HUGE part in this journey called weight loss. :o Good luck!! I'm rooting for you!

btw, if it makes you feel any better I have currently spiked to my full term weight with Denver!! Isn't that wonderful?! I have been about 10 pounds less for months...suddenly I am HUGE again. It SUCKS!

I go crazy when I look at the scale too much. You shouldn't worry so much about 1-2 lbs. Let your clothes be your guide and weigh yourself a little less often, maybe once a month? Good luck exercising and eating right...I'm in the same boat as you, I feel the pain involved with gettingback into shape.
