I am really struggling this week. I was up 1.6 this past Saturday and I really let it get to me. So I have eaten everything in sight since then. I make NO SENSE at all! I have responded as if 1.6 is these huge number. I know I hadn't made god choices and I deserved the gain. All I had to do was get back on track. I am certain I have gained again this week and I am already dreading weigh in on Saturday. I have to get this under control again.
I am doing good with what I am eating today but I feel so hungry. I know I am NOT REALLY hungry but it is hard to push through this to get back on track. It is amazing how quickly the body reverts back to the "bad stuff" and just starts craving it again once it had a taste of it again. RIDCULOUS! Sometimes life really isn't fair.
It is just a rough week for me in my journey. I know I will get back on track and have already done so today. Sometimes we just have to vent about the unfairness/struggles we have. Thank you for letting me vent.

*hugs* Time to pick it back up and push forward

*warm blankie hugs*

Luv,

Keep going! I let those things get to me too and all the reasons like "oh it's water " etc just don't sound good to me. We all know it happens sometimes but still......I hope you will get back on track again....You can do it!!!!!

I weigh myself once every two or three or four weeks because I cannot deal with a weight gain or even staying the same. I quit Weight Watchers because the anxiety over the weekly weigh-in was too much for me. If I lost I was fine, but if I stayed the same or gained, it was AWFUL. I would sit there fighting tears, then sometimes stop for fast food and/or huge ice creams on my way home. When I reach my goal, I will weigh myself daily, but not until then.

I hear you. I had dinner and right after I felt hungry. I was like WTF. granted I am WAY low on calories today I was full from lunch when I ate dinner but seeing as my dinner wasnt that big I ate it. Then right after I was hungry? HMMM. I think it is just a craving for french bread or something since I made it for everyone else but I don't eat carbs myself so didn't have any.

Thank you for the hugs and the words to let me know I am not alone. I ended yesterday pretty well and I have packed my breakfast/lunch today so it looks like I am back on track. I still really want some things that are not good for me but I am going to continue to push through.

you have an AWESOME ATTITUDE!! seeing just where you went off track, and then getting right back on!! kudos!! you can do this...this is your year!!

No, Rainbowsmiles! This is OUR YEAR!
Thank you!!

It's easy to fall off track and so hard to get back on but realizing that we have wonky thinking sometimes is half the battle. I'm glad you chose to come here, vent and then try to get back on track. It's just a hiccup along the way, part of your weight loss story. I know you will have found a way to stay on track because you are an incredible person, thanks for sharing your struggle with us...makes me know we all have them but we can still be successful.

I think a lot of us do that, for what reason I don't know. It has been likened to coming outside to find one of the tires slashed on your car, and then slashing the other three.

So WHY do we do it... I dunno. But you CAN get back on track!!

If your in a binge mood, have a big pile of grapes in front of you. I eat things that I can consume just like the bag of chips, one at a time over and over again. This also addresses some of my need for sweets. Get out and get in a walk it will not only help the calories but it will help your mood.

I love this.

I had a rough few days myself, gotta pick ourselves up. We can do this!

Heather: Thank you for the laugh! That is awesome. Definately makes no sense but we sure do do it.
I did get back on track (and I am still on track). I don't really know how (since I was only on track starting Tuesday night/Wednesday morning) but I actually lost 2.6 at weigh in on Saturday. So I have stayed and track and I am contining to move forward! It is amazing how stupid and alone we can feel at times but Goodnuff you are right...we can still be successful! I am choosing success! Thank you all.
