Discouragment

I'm feeling very discouraged even thought I should be feeling proud and excited. I lost 8 pounds! I should be happy! That's great! And I know that's good, but man, I'm just not feelin it. There are a couple of things getting me down.

1. I feel burnt out
2. I'm sore all the time
3. I'm tired all the time
4. I'm hungry a lot (not all the time but a lot)
5. with all of that, I have a very short fuse and am not being very nice to live with.
6. A serious comment from someone on a different team.

Right now I feel so weak. I barley have the energy to type this. I just want to curl up on the couch and sleep. I'm not sure why. Is it because I'm not eating enough? Did I not sleep well. Am I burnt out? If I am burn out, is this feeling going to pass? Is it crazy to feel so exhausted and burnt out after only 1 week???

Yesterday, someone from another biggest loser team said to me, very seriously "I'm not going to lie, I don't think you're a threat. Sorry" I can handle trash talk. I love it. I love to give it and its motivating to take it. But this wasn't trash talk. She meant it. I'm not a threat. Does that mean everyone looks at me and doesn't think I can do it? It felt like she just told me that I couldn't do it. A stranger telling you that they don't think you can do it is one thing. It's easy to blow off because they don't really know you. They don't know what you're made of or what you're capable of. But a friend telling you, it's pretty devastating. It's really been getting me down ever since.

I'm NOT going to give up! I just need to find the energy to pick my self up and keep going. I think I just need to have a nice dinner tonight that isn't diet, but isn't too bad for you and start again tomorrow with a better since of why I'm doing this and how to do it healthy, with out being as extreme as I was this past week but still working hard. I need to find that balance.
