End of week blahs
Compliments, Weigh in September 12th, 2008I know I should stay away from mid-week weigh-ins. I am a fool, who makes the same mistake again and again. And whoever said that history repeats itself. The last mid-week weigh-in I had lost almost 3 pounds and today morning’s weigh-in I have put it all back. I am at 182.5. I feel so frustrated. How on earth will I ever achieve my Oct 1 target of 176 pounds? And when I had started I had felt so positive about reaching that goal. And it was a very do-able goal, not ambitious at all. So basically the last three weeks have been no weight loss at all. The only silver lining on the cloud is that I have not put on any more weight.
On a more positive note… My father and mother both complimented me today morning. I am wearing a new top and my jeans (which is finally not tight on me). My dad said “Now that you’ve lost some weight, you’re looking so much better”. And that was just so cool. I have to, have to lose more weight. The weighing scales better start behaving. I am so nervous about standing on those damn scales.
God, please give me the strength to battle my laziness, lethargy and constant tiredness so I am able to start exercising. I have to. And I know I can.
Today’s reason for losing weight:
Reason no 13: So I can stand on the scales without fear.

Hey,
I appreciate your input on the PCOS. I really love hearing that not everyone turns out grossly overweight.
And way to go on your dad noticing!! Its funny how compliments put the life back in a diet.
I have also been gaining weight back, but it seems like once a month a fluctuate like 5 pounds, and then lose the 5 plus an additional 5. Maybe thats what we are experiecing. Its good that you caught it early on, and it could just be water weight. Especially if you have changed your routine or increased your sodium intake. Notice your rings getting hard to remove? Are you socks becoming uncomfortable? All signs of water weight which mask weight loss results, so wait it out (with out weighing it out) .. Try weighing again in a week, and Im sure the scale will tell a much different story.
Thanks again and good luck,
Rach
