I'm really frustrated this morning. I weighed myself this morning--it's not my regular weigh day yet, and I've GAINED 2 more pounds. This makes 3 pounds in the last 2 weeks. I expect weight fluctuations, but not already--I only began 12/27/04. Part of me thinks it might be that TOM. I only got my period back last month after having my son, and this would be the time if my cycle is going to be regular again already, but no signs of that. (Sorry if TMI!)
I'm frustrated enough that I'm tempted to do something more restrictive with my eating, even though this has always backfired in the past. I actually thought my eating was going well this week, but maybe my portions have been creeping up. My goal was to make gradual changes: change one or two bad eating habits every month, so I could sustain this forever. Maybe I'm deceiving myself? I've eliminated sweets and snacks, added a fruit and/or vegetable to every meal, try to eat "good carbs," and do step aerobics 5 x a week. Maybe that's not enough? I'm thinking of weighing and measuring my food for a week, and logging it on fitday just to see what I'm actually eating, but I don't want to fall into that "diet" mentality. Oh, what should I do????
