I dont want to meditate. I dont want to think about things.

 

[Jill]

Oh my good AJ-i know how you feel. Ive been real emotional last night and today, I dont know whats wrong I just wanna cry!! And then I went to 7-11 to get gas, and I was looking at the candy, the chocolates, and found 4 chocolate bars I wanted to try. NO, I didnt buy them. (i wish i could have) And to top it off tomorrow is a no carb day, ahhhhhh. Sorry for ranting in your jornal! BTW, your workout today was awesome! My girl you are strong! Do you measure your oats, 1/4 cup being 13 carbs? Just double checking!

 

[PreMier]

Ugh... maybe take a few deep breaths... and focus on your body and how it feels, not your thoughts.

 

[atherjen]

.................... Im feeling a bit better. talking things out helps.

sorry dont mind me tonite everyone!

 

[greekblondechic]

Grrr I wrote a long thing and it had too many smilies!

Jen: dont worry sweetheart because you are truly awesome and this will pass soon! I dont know if perhaps your leptin is low and you need a refeed or cheat which seems like it was my problem, also when i pms i am sooooo upset and have a hard time sticking to diet! so whatever it is thats bothering you dont worry and feel free to send me a PM or IM

oh man.

dieting seems so tough, i dont knwo if i'll be able to handle it in the future when necessary. I got the whole bulking thing down-eat as much as possible-but dieting scares me.

you just gotta tell yourself your doing it for a reason, ya know? you're not dieting cuz you're outta shape or cuz you need to lose weight. you're doing it cuz you CHOSE to compete, adn you wanna do your best. thats the mindset you gotta try and have. noone forced you to diet/compete, its a choice you made. you can stop dieting anytime, but you wanna compete. plain and simple...

 

[M.J.H.]

Dieting in my honest opinion is very very tough mentally. You are forcing your body to do something that it doesn't want to do, so therefore it's going to rebel in every way possible.

To me, personally, the personal gratification gained from competing is not worth the weeks and weeks of torture beforehand. But that's just my personal opinion.

Good luck Jen!

 

[Rocco32]

Hey Jen, hand in there girl! We all have ups and downs and lonely times. You are doing great and you are an awesome person! I mean that, I get soo excited everytime you post in my journal or I see you've posted here so I can see what your up to or saying! Hang tight, the sunrise always comes (BIG HUG!!)

 

[atherjen]

Hope everyone has a great day! and thank you again!

Oh Jen!! I am sorry you felt so bad! I had an awful day as well. I felt like crawling under a rock! We will be OK! Keep your chin up Sweetie!!

 

[katie64]

Hey sweetie, sorry you've been feeling kinda low, you have alot going on right now, comp coming up, new promoters, and your diet alone is enough to make your head swim, hope your feeling better babe, the weather doesn't help much either, if your like me, it has alot to do with my attitude, need the sunshine

Have a good day honey

 

[ncgirl21]

Morning Sweetie! Hope your feeling better today . I think sometimes we all just need a good . It's a girl thing!! I think dieting is one of the hardest things I've ever done- seriously! You don't realize the mental stress your under until your actually sitting there analyzing every damn thing before you eat it. It sucks a big one sometimes, but in the end it will be worth it (at least that's what I tell myself)!! Your gonna rock at your comp.- so just think about that!!

Hugs!!

 

[atherjen]

ahhhh ladies.. your too sweet! thanks for understanding!

Im doing much better today....although I think this stress has given me a lil friend.... damn pimple! haha Jen doesnt get pimples so Im kinda....mad! It'll be gone tomarrow. I know secrets to make em go away. haha its just a baby thing to cover up anyhow but I DONT like them!

thank goodness no work today. Get some things done around here for myself and recouperate. its a new day eh!

now if it wasnt RAINING out I might just be a lil more eager to get my butt in gear.

 

[Jill]

Have a super one hon!

 

[Stacey]

Glad your doing much better today sweetie!! Sometimes a girl needs a good cry!!!! I'm sorry though that you were so upset!!!

uggg--Pimples SUCK!! Don't touch it

[JLB001]

Jen...just think...your not the Cuban family that was trying to reach the states in a boat that they made out of their car.....Now they have major issues since the Coast Guard got them and they have no car when they get back to Cuba.

Try and have a good day today!

 

[atherjen]

thanks Ladies!!
I decided to get out and hit the gym, and do my errands, rain or not. blah.. it was pouring and windy and I think I ruined my favorite white kahkis. Im gonna see if I can save them at the suds-o-rat-mat later (laundry place.. hehe thats my name for it!).

haha Stace I didnt touch it.. its going away!! tomarrow morn it will be dead. lol

Jodie.. what are you talking about?!!? I guess Im glad not to be that Cuban fam then..

 

[M.J.H.]

Glad to see that you're feeling better Jen!

Really happy for you, keep up the hard work and dedication. And whether you stick it out for the contest or not, you have really learned a lot through this experience I think.
