So unmotivated

Rate this Entry
I have been so good since Sunday with my LE diet, I've stuck to my calories and have even dropped my calories to 1300 or less, I've dropped the amount of fat to 30g and protein to 35g, been eating no fresh fruit or veg, but instead of losing weight, like you'd think I would, I've gained pound.

It feels like my body just doesnt want me to have a girl or even let me have a shot at it.

I was on a 1500 calorie a day diet last year and lost over 12lb in a couple of months, was eating more fat and a heck of a lot more protein,so why now is it not working?

I'm trying not to stress about it but we want to get pregnant ASAP and this is making it so difficult to see it actually working.

I just want to stuff my face with a huge burger, tons of fries and then eat a pile of chocolate cake - especially with AF being here. Instead I'm eating boiled rice with sweet chilli sauce and cooking yummy meals for the rest of the family.

    Hi Northern_Shutterbug, it is really tough to keep on the diet sometimes, especially during AF, I'm on CD2 too, got AF yesterday and I'm really really hungry. I never count the calories, proteins etc, I just try to eat as little as possible. I'm not losing much weight either but just don't lose fait. Just keep in mind that it's for your little baby girl. I have a BBQ tonight, so just you can imagine how many goodies there will be there and I won't be able to eat them :sad: I'm just having a few kebabs with veggies and small pieces of chicken! and prepared some white rice with parmesan cheese! it's going to be really hard not to cheat....but again, I keep on telling myself 'it's only for a few months and it's for my baby girl'! Don't get discouraged, all of us are in the same boat and keep in mind that there were lots of ladies who like us did lots of sacrifices and got the baby of their dream. Perhaps we'll be next :fx:

    Try to stay on track. If you fall off, we'll be here to help you get back on. We're in this together. Nobody understands me like you guys do, and we've only met online. You can do this. Try to stay off the scale for a week and hopefully you'll be pleasantly surpised when you get back on it.

    I failed yesterday ;(

    I had to make some lemon meringue cupcakes for a birthday party and I licked those spoons (after everything was in the oven obviously!) and beaters! I then had to test two of the cupcakes - very tastey!

    Then hubby was ultra late home from work so I told him to get a takeaway - I was going to have a soup. I had some of the leftover chip though and afterwards, you know what.... I ATE A ROCKY ROAD CUPCAKE and it was GOOD!

    Oh well, today is a new day, and I'm already starving ;(

    Well, we all have our Bad Days sometimes...but it's still never too late to try again! I ended up eating a mini chocolate bar and a piece of melon yesterday at the BBQ, so cheated as well!! But today I tried to be very strict on diet, to compensate a bit...Just try a little harder, it's only for a period of time!! Think about your pink bundle!!
