Trying not to get frustrated here!
Day 1 was super hard. Days 2-5 were a piece of cake. Day 6 was hard again, and now on Day 7, I am trying very hard to not get completely disheartened.
I gained half a pound back (true, it is that time of the month) but it still makes me cranky (poor dh!).
What I am wondering is should I not be weighing every day? Perhaps it would be a nice surprise to only weigh on even days. Or even once a week. But I like that on days that I haven't lost (or backslid) that I can think about what I might have done the day before (too much cheese or nuts, not enough veggies, ate the whole steak instead of saving some for the next day, etc.).
How often do you ladies weigh yourselves?
And I KNOW that the weight loss will slow considerably when I hit Phase 2, but what can I do to not get totally freaked out by the scale?
I put this weight on over 4 years of college (freshman 15, sophomore 15, Jr. 15, Sr. 15). I did gain little bits of weight with both pregnancies, but I actually weigh less now than I did before I got pregnant with my oldest (who is now 5).
Those of you who have been on this awhile, tell me that it does come off, and yes, slowly, and that I need to stick with it. Please!
