Just so fed up of routine

How do you guys not just get so fed up of the mundaneness of everyday life ? I just feel like there's nothing to look forward to, really.

Life just seems one long slog of responsibilities and no fun. But what is even fun anymore ? I don't even know.

Anyone else feel like this or just me?

I'm just so tired and fed up. My biggest highlight of the week is that I get to go to an MRI scan, which means I have a break from my kids for a few hours.

How sad is that.

I can't see it changing as they get older either. Then I'll need to ferry them around to school and actives etc. and everything will be just so routine and joyless anyway.

I hear you. Also needing to lose weight, it has ruined my life for too long. But the things I take the most joy in usually involve nice food, meals out, pub.... so all my joy has gone and nothing seems to be happening. Or if I break the diet to get a little bit of fun in life, I hate myself even more afterwards. It is unbearable.

Totally hear you, 100 percent.

8 weeks? Sorry but has no one ever said "9 months on, 9 months off"? You need to be kind to your body. At 8 weeks you are still recovering. If you had the same level of trauma on your body as childbirth from an accident or operation, you'd still be in recovery.

Feed your recovering body. Not to gain weight, but to eat what you need. The weight will go but slowly.

Always at work. All on me. I have no break, ever. Not even during the night. Nothing. I'm breaking.

This is exactly the problem right here!
