Day 1 - Off to a bad start


NO SLEEP AND NO JUNK FOOD MAKES ME ANGRY!

I woke up this morning feeling so tired because my 5 year old had a bad dream and couldn't get back to sleep. She made sure no one else could sleep either. I remember waking up a few times after she went to sleep and kept looking towards the window hoping for a glimmer of light which would tell me that the night was over and a new day had begun. But no, the night lasted for ever. I finally got to sleep at the crack of dawn only to be woken up by the postman at 7.30am! That for me is not good. As I am trying to lose weight, I cannot turn to my comfort which is food. Put lack of sleep and no comfort food into a pot and you will create the worst combination possible. That is me, I am a Timebomb which does go off and then miraculously reforms only to go off again. I am so angry! I had planned to go to the Gym today but I am exhausted so that is another thing which is making me angry. The more angry and down I feel, the more I want chips. I have been off work for 2 weeks on leave and I am returning tommorow. I don't want to go back because I am having a few problems at work and don't feel appreciated. Add that into the pot together with no sleep, no junk food, no gym and to top it all off, add my three kids who all fight each other and cause chaos. I really want a cream cake. Can anyone help. Is there anyone there........

Thats great Rachel. Thanks for your support. At the moment I feel like a hopeless case though and I have a few problems, the usual, financial etc and that makes me feel very down and I end up turning to food. I have not given up and I will still continue to post even if I haven't lost any weight yet.
