I hit a low recently. I feel as though I'm coming back outa though even though I've not lost any weight. (In fact I gained 4 lbs last week without eating more than 1000 cal a day average - no that frustrating.) I just recently quit taking the pill, had multiple surgeries this year, gained weight, and my body has changed a LOT. We shouldn't be dependant on other's for our self esteem but a loved one can do a LOT for it. Hubby has been a really great cheering squad for me. If you've got someone who cares for you like that, don't be afraid to vent to them about how you're feeling. They can see good things that you won't notice.
Otherwise, I'm starting a Yoga class tomarrow. I'm trying to take time out for myself to get my body back on track and my mind in the right place. It's helping. I've also avoided looking in the mirror all that much. I find myself wanting to get critical. Just a quick glance, no close up pimple exams, and wearing things that I know are flattering and comfortable too. Little by little I'm climbing out of that hole. But the whole time it's had to be a matter of me focusing on the good points, even when hubby tells me stuff I have to avoid saying 'but...' to myself.
Also doing my best to get enough sleep but not sleeping all day.
