Default God, I feel awful

Soooo bloated and ugh-y. My weigh-in is tomorrow. I sense a disaster. Yes. I'm whining again. I'm sorry. What the heck happened to that wonderful ight feeling I had last week, my first week on program? My stomach actually hurts. It's not menstrual or anything. I just feel like I ate a huge, huge meal, and I didn't. I've felt like this all week. Can't wait to get the weigh-in over with.

Oh, Andrea.... I'll pull for you and you for me, OK! Gaining 10 pounds in a week would be pretty hard. I do so hope it's not that bad. If you have an acknowledged problem with binge eating, maybe core isn't for you -- too easy to overdo it, even on "acceptable" foods. If this was a bad week for you, maybe you should consider flex. Whatever the outcome for both of us, let's check back in tomorrow and account to each other. Also, we can't let a bad week throw us off track. Promise?! I do! Good luck tomorrow.

It is relatively impossible to gain an extreme amount of fat in 1 week. It takes 3500 calories above your needed caloric intake to gain 1 pound of fat. Usually we tend to have large water retention gains.

My fear was that I ate way too much sodium and processed foods this past week. But I must have stayed on track because, as it turns out, I lost 1.6 pounds. I am amazed! God was good, even though I wasn't! LOL

So sorry for the gain, Andrea. But what's important is that you went, even though you knew you were going to gain. Truth is, when we gain we gain, whether we go to a meeting and actually see it on the scale or not... it's still there. The problem is when people get so afraid of actually seeing it on the scale that they don't go, then one week slips into to two and then into three and so on. So you were a success today because you went to your meeting, took ownership of what went wrong last week and are ready to start fresh. And I say congratulations to you!
