OK - It's just not happening...

[Matiana]

i can totally relate to you and i'm only 27! for the past couple of months i have been so unmotivated for both diet and exercise. i just don't want to bother with all of this anymore. i've taken rest weeks, changed workouts, altered my eating and all i want to do is not have to workout and not think about food 24/7. i'm really unmotivated. i used to be so into diet and exercise and now i feel like i could care less about it. i hate this feeling. i have been forcing myself to workout and i hate every minute of it. not to mention i've been binging weekly b/c i'm tired of not being able to eat junk. i'm watching my weight slowly creep up and i care but i don't care at the same time.

Me too, Me too! I have no focus. Since labour day weekend I have lost my mind. There is no piece of food I can say no to, and on top of that, I grab another helping. Exercise is in the pits and I use every excuse to go a day without Cathe or Sean.
I was in the tub yesterday and I appear to have grown a second gut. I don't remember when I last had two guts. It's very discouraging especially with how hard I worked and gotten into shape prior to labour day.

Dr. Horse that is

Don't worry about the scheduled workouts until you really feel better. And, I know what you mean about the anti-anxiety/anti depressants.

I take St. John's wort that seems to help and doesn't seem to cause weight gain. I've been on it for about 14 months and I've lost more fat in that time period.

(extreme long arm) Hugs. And yay for you for working out

I've been told that St. John's wort is contraindicated (bad) for people who have been on chemo, so just thought I should mention that.

Don't be too hard on yourself. My cousin had bone cancer 11 years ago and it took her some time to feel like herself/normal. Actually, several years but she does feel ok now. So, don't give up hope and know you probably are going to be ok. Even if the only workout is a stroll with some earbuds.

Hugs.

Hi Susan,

I don't have anything to add to the great advice you've already been given, but just wanted to send you some {{{HUGS}}}! Sorry that things have been tough and that those anxieties are cropping up!
