ever feel like giving up?

Im totally serious with that title - do you ever feel like just giving up? packing it in?
do you ever feel like you just want to eat your own body weight in fried foods? chocolate? biscuits?

I'm there right now! I want to just eat food! like my friend the Head Diva said yesterday on our group last night I LOVE FOOD!!! like seriously love food! What's your guilty pleasure? right now all i want is take out - the greasy dirty chips covered in delicious gravy ... YUMMY!!

BUT- i know that if i eat this gunk i will pile all of those hard earned pounds back on.  Do i want to do that?
NO WAY!

I want to eat without the repercussions, is that feesible - no it is not!  can i have a treat, yes I can but I have to be able to deal with the consequences of that food - be it weight or bloating
why do we have these days? we are only human i have that song in my head now (click to hear the song)

Every single day is different, we have different situations that we are in and there will be days that this really is the case, that i or you want to give up.  when we have a bad day, a stressful day the key for me to overcome this is to find out why I am in this situation (if it isn't obvious) and think how can i make this better?

If you are unhappy with how you look (which is totally me, i find it hard to look at myself in the mirror. I make myself - but it is not an easy thing to do. I literally test my husband ALL the time with - am i smaller?, have i put on weight?, is my tummy huge?, do i have a bigger double chin again? - the list of questions is endless!)

so I have to ask myself ... did you work out? did you eat well?

You have to accept the moment that you are in at the minute, look in the mirror when you have those days and what i do is give myself the tough love - im honest with myself,  I tell myself that you did it! you ate that greasy chip, that extra dessert and you didnt work out

When i have these days I'm always afraid that I am going to failure, or if I've caved and eaten that huge cupcake and I haven't done my workout and i feel like a failure - I keep saying to myself you are trying! one hiccup is not gonna ruin it.

sometimes my motivation just plummets and i cant find the strength in my body or mind to move my fat butt out of bed, or off the sofa, i wondered what to do when this happened and then Shaun-T (i love this guy in case you didnt notice hehe) and he suggested taking a break, no more than 2 days, he said that sometimes you need to stop.

your journey is a personal journey, no one person is the same, we are all unique, its an individual journey.  When you go down this route that you are on you will find that there are lots of side roads that you are able to take. once you take them sometimes you can be afraid to get back on your track because someone you met down your side road doesn't want to come with you.  People will come into your life through different situations in a non-selfish way you have to make it work for just you, the people around you are going to be so much happier if you are happy, if your not happy that will impact them too.  if they are not happy for you they do not need to be around you or with you.  dont let them bring you down!

you are the neuclaeus of your existance - so you exude greatness (Shaun-T)

my post seems a little disjointed this week, its how my brain works I promise, but these are things that I have been thinking about over the past week and i hope that it makes sense for you guys on some level.

I guess my main points are

Don't Give Up! you can do this
Don't Let Others Drag You Down! you are so much stronger than their negativity.
