The days that SUCK.

I've been dieting ALLLLLL morning! Why aren't I skinny yet?!

Look on the bright side... you lose weight every time you poop. 

So with any challenge, you will have ups and downs. The ups feel great. Fantastic. Amazing. You are in control, you see your success unfolding right before your eyes. You can take on any craving, you can battle any delicious temptation, and you can run a 5k -- ALL with your hands tied behind your back. You are in control!

And then there are the downs. Eff the downs, man. They suck. Friday through Sunday of this week have been a huge down for me. I'm hoping tomorrow I will wake and feel energized and find myself back on my horse.

So when I fly in to my upswing, again, I will be proud that this weekend wasn't a cheat weekend. I stayed on my diet, and maintained my schedules, but the battle has been so hard. I feel bitter and pissy that I just can't have (insert anything here, because honestly, I've wanted everything on any menu).

I have no miracle solution as to how to break out of a dieting/goal slump. I wish I could say that was a magic solution to power through it. But there isn't. You just have to fight it through, remember your motivating reasons and just keep on going.
