Sally Pineapple - I think most of us have obsessed over our weight. Sometimes we weigh more the day after eating a bit more and its not that big a deal, i mean, being at a healthy weight means we will sometimes eat more in certain occasions, right? What has made me gain weight in the past was an all or nothing mentality, so if i ate more than usual in one day I'd feel so discouraged i wouldn't go back to eating my usual healthy meals.... i'd just give up.
0.4 lbs is such a small variation! It can happen to anyone.

Thank you Marina Brasil. I was thinking that I had gained over 5 lbs like I did last month when we went out of town overnight. That stalled me for a week. I freaked for no good reason and they don't have a delete button on here
I was very happy to see only the small gain instead of the mountain I created out of a mole hill.

My mom has been visiting since the 26th, and she's been pushing me at every turn, both pressuring me to eat more things I would normally turn down, and criticizing me when I try to work out. I'm trying to stay focused, but I can't wait for her to leave.
So why am I freaking?Anyone else ever get this anxious over their weight? I am scared to step on the scale in the morning.
I do this ALL the time!
I was just talking to my husband about this very thing, this weekend. We had a fall festival on Friday, we had to eat out for lunch on Saturday, had a wedding shower (late afternoon) on Saturday, had a business dinner at a clients home on Saturday night and homecoming Sunday aftersoon! I told him that the thing with me is that I KNOW this is part of making a lifetime change to my eating habits. I can't live in a bubble once I get to my goal weight so I'd better not try it while I'm on my way. BUT once I get to my goal weight, if I have a weekend like this....and put on a couple/few pounds......I won't have as big an issue with working to get it off. It's that feeling of wasted time and effort that I get when I gain, while losing, that is so discouraging. I know that it is all part of the process; gaining and stand stills while losing is a NATURAL part of it......BUT it still throws me every time!
Just don't give up and don't beat yourself up over it!
I was very proud of myself this weekend. I did have a chili dog and a cookie at the fall festival but I had very little for breakfast and lunch. I ate a reasonable amount at lunch Sat (you know, about half what I would have eaten before), had a handful of grapes at the shower (instead of cake and all the other goodies), a reasonable dinner with the clients (even had the dessert that she served me), and ate a nice meal at homecoming (but skipped supper).
All of that may not seem like much to some, especially those who don't have the addiction to food that I have, but believe me it wasn't easy, but it also wasn't as hard as it would have been 2 months ago. It's a journey, a learning experience, don't beat yourself up over one day. Chin up!
And, Jill, take your own advice here! LOL! I need to come back and read this when I'm having "one of those days"!

Well, just barely, but finishing up the month in the 180s. Hoping next month to get back to losing and out of the 180s but I think that's pressing my luck a bit! We'll see
Here's to hoping it won't stick! 
I was BAD yesterday! 
Lol!
Not random weight variation: i binged yesterday.
