I know when it comes to fitness, I’m working hard, despite working all day long and being tired by the time I get home, I still work out, I sometimes even work out in the morning before work.  I’ve made it a point to eat breakfast, since I used to have a habit of skipping it.  At work, I still have issues resisting temptation, but at the same time it’s hard, because we have to sit down with the kids, and eat “family style” so I eat what they have, however, when I go on my break, I don’t eat anything else, I’ll eat a snack a few hours later, but it’s generally what the kids are having, which is cheez its, goldfish crackers, pretzels….things like that, then I’ll go home and eat dinner around 7pm and I’m done for the night, though tonight I had about a half a cup of 99%  fat free strawberry yogurt as a snack.

My frustration is, that I’m on my feet and moving around, lifting kids, most of the day at work, in addition to that I’m working out outside of work, watching my portions when I eat, but I’ll get on the scale and still see 150. Granted, it’s thursday and my weigh in day is not until monday, but I don’t understand how I was 146.4 on Monday and then I got on the scale tonight and I was 150.  It just feels like a never ending battle, like no matter what I’m destined to be 40 lbs overweight. 

This is why I always give up, because I work so hard, and then see the number going higher, not dropping.  It just makes me wonder why I even bother trying to lose weight at all?????
