Frustrated, Need to Rant
 

I started last week and Monday was my first weigh in. I gained a pound. I was so good all week long and then I guess I sabotaged myself on Sat. ( I drank a lot) I just didn't think that one day could blow my entire week of hard work. Not to mention that I just assumed that I would lose big the first week. I'm just really frustrated. Had to get it off my chest.

:hug: You didn't undo all your hard work by drinking on Saturday. Unless you drank 3,500 calories worth of alcohol and had not created a deficit earlier in the week.

We tend to think that little things - days - meals - etc - make or break our diets/weight loss efforts. This is simply not true. It's what you do over the long term that counts. That one day of drinking may have been a poor choice but it certainly didn't undo everything.

The most likely scenario is that the alcohol caused you to hold water weight for your weigh-in. Your WI was barely 48 hours afterwards. Hang in there, keep doing good things this week, and I bet the scale will show you some love next WI.

What Suite said :)

:hug: Continue on. If you can move past this, you can move past anything else. :yes:
