Goal 127
Starting P90X for the first time today - Hope I don't gain weight with the added exercise (it makes me hungry, but I need to firm up!).

P90X will kick your tush! I also get hungry from exercise and do eat more because of it, but it's good for your health

Finally got back on the scale after eating whatever I wanted from 8/4-8/7. I went shopping on Thursday (8/23) because I am running out of work clothes and I am a size 0/2 which I have never been in my life That made me very very happy as I hadn't went shopping in a while. I went to banana republic and I know they do vanity sizing but still I never wore those sizes there before. I was a 4 the last time I bought anything there. most of my life I was a size 6/8 so this is uncharted territory that I am pretty sure I owe to weight lifting and decreasing my carbs a lot.

But then today one of the house keeping ladies asked me what size I wear (because we are both short and she has a pair of shorts she wants to give me) and I said 2 and she seemed confused (wearing new size 2 pants from banana republic today) and she said she wears a 9/10. it made me feel like she didn't believe I was a size 2 as I don't look it (most people have been telling me I look skinny) and that exchange combined with the 3 lb weight gain and feeling a little fat today has me feeling unhappy with my body. I already was struggling with seeing myself as smaller and still felt fat. I know she meant no harm (she is an older lady) and sizing has changed over the years.

Matinee, don't let it get you down - I think just as it's hard for you to change your perception of yourself (and realize that you are a lot slimmer than you imagine yourself to be) I think it takes time for the people around us to adjust their perceptions. In my case, I think some of my friends and loved ones still imagine I am still 135 and never gained those 20 lbs! Very sweet on their part but sometimes that makes it hard for me to stay on track and remind myself that I need to lose those lbs.

Thanks for that!

8/11 136 ARGH!!! This happens every, single, time, I exercise! My eating gets out of control!

Relax. You did not consume an extra 14,000 calories (what it would take to gain 4 lbs) in 3 days. Exercise stresses your muscles, causing microtears, and part of the healing process involves your muscles pulling water in. You might also have eaten some additional carbs which would be stored in your liver and muscles as glycogen. The bump is temporary.

Thanks ERD, you are right on all counts. My muscles have been singing to me. I'll continue to exercise, but hold off on pP90X. I'm going to fight like crazy to not give in to the carbs!
