DAY 16 - STUCK

 DAY 16 LOG

  We are STUCK!!  

Yes, tired, sick, and cannot seem to get past.

And you know what ? 

Reading about other people's success does not motivate us when we get like this.

How about fact that after raising our children, we are still feeling we are somehow to blame and responsible for all of their heartaches and misfortune?

IF ONLY  - we had a few hours a week to ourselves to concentrate on US!!

Why do we feel that we are always giving to everyone else, and yet not quite completing?

How can we get UNSTUCK?

We have followed most of the BOOK now, listened to the CD.

Followed the RULES  ... DRANK GALLONS OF WATER.

Put effort into moving - if only, but really, really want to.

Here's the thing -- from Darleen:

My body is in constant pain due to what has been diagnosed as Fibromyalgia

-- taking one step each morning takes all the effort I have, and headache and blurry vision takes time to fade. My body is so tired, I do not feel like eating or even sleeping or combing my hair. And yet ..

I am to find energy and motivation to exercise?? Should there not be a recuperation period first?

From Jan:

TOO many challenges - as feel should meet everyone elses needs first.

Hard to carve out me time.

Difficult to eat properly or at all when have no taste for food.

Too tired to care about myself. In too much of hurry for change to happen.

Eating healthy already - but do have sweet tooth for sure.

Not into exercise so try to do incidentally just  to get moving - housework.

Problem is .. how to motivate ourselves to stay motivated when sick and ... just need magic.

My goal was to be June Cleaver - I even have the pearls :)

And .... Reading the Book - I CAN MAKE YOU THIN - I may have hit on the solution.

Or part of it.

Chapter 7 - The Final Piece of the Weight-Loss Puzzle
Stop Self-Sabotage Before It Starts. The chapter is short and worth giving a shot.

Creating Wholeness  - Every part of you has a positive intention.

Ok ... will try ... and to reach inside and find a way to get unstuck... 

and find a way to put one foot in front of other ... 

AND
FROM US ... NO BOOK  (not yet) .. just what we have learned and feels right to us.
An easier way to eat while we recuperate, exercise and recharge our batteries ...

And feel good enough about ourselves  to succeed at this and MORE!!

TO BE CONTINUED  ..... A PLAN OF ATTACK TO GET UNSTUCK

OUR RULES!!
