I’m feeling quite stressed out lately. Work is crazy busy and I just have no time to myself. So, this Saturday, for the first time in months, I am doing absolutely nothing. No working at home, no wedding planning, no nothing. I am just going to relax. I seriously have not had a day to myself since December when I had one day. So, it’s high time I have a day. I really need to recharge my batteries since I’m feeling really worn out. Looking forward to my day of nothingness!
Tomorrow I have a meeting out of town for work. I don’t have time to go, but it’s one of those things that I have to do. Between the preparations today and the meeting tomorrow (which is out of town), that will chew up 2 days, which I don’t have. Yikes! I am so scared about this coming month! We have a crazy amount of reports due at the end of March, I don’t know how I’m going to get them all done! Okay, deep breath…
And it doesn't help that I am totally discouraged about the lack of weight loss I have been seeing. I am seriously ready to throw in the towel. I have been working like mad for almost 2 months (along with a moderate effort 4 months prior to that) and still have yet to lose 5 pounds. I am doing everything I'm supposed to. I take a multi-vitamin everyday, I stay within my points range, I drink lots of water, I exercise, I eat lots of veggies. I'm totally stumped. Last time I was on WW, I lost 35 pounds in about 6 months, and this time I am putting in WAY more effort than I did last time. WHY ISN'T IT WORKING?!?!?!?!

It sounds like you need a hug. *hugs*
When is the last time you had your thyroid checked? If it's under-active it may help to explain why you aren't losing as much as what you want. Does your Mum have thyroid problems or your maternal grandmother? All of the women on my dad's side of the family have issues with their thyroid, so they tend to have difficulties losing weight. It's familial - mother to daughter. Thankfully I don't have that issue because it's on my father's side and it obviously skipped him.
Don't give up! You are doing great, and you are living a healthy lifestyle, which I think is more important. Instead, go see your doctor and get your thyroid checked out.
Thanks for the encouragement. I have my annual physical coming up in a couple of months, so if I am still struggling with weight loss, I will definately ask about getting my thyroid checked. Thanks for the suggestion!
Good point Burger, it is something I was thinking about too for C-dub, but keep on forgeting to mention it. I would definitely talk to your doc about it. Also, don't feel like you have to wait for your physical.
