I decided to have some alcohol two weeks ago on a weekend. I didn't go past my maintenance calories, but alcohol DOES make me bloat.
So, of course, the next day I am like a baloon and I magically gained 10lbs on the scale. No sweat, I keep on my plan and it usually comes off in a few days if I guzzle extra water on top of it.
Well, NO. It's been two weeks and I did shed 4lbs but there is still 6lbs extra. I am going back and forth between 210,211 and 212 -but mostly 212. What the heck??
I am trying so hard to get to wonderland that this is heartbreaking.
I took my measurements twice since then (once a week) and I lost a bunch of inches on week one and lost some on my arm but went up a couple on other places on week two.
I KNOW.. know! There is no way this can be fat. I've been sticking on my plan like glue and going to the gym 3-4 times a week.
Can someone please give me some reassurance? Has anyone gone through this before?
I've had water weight fall off plenty of times before but it's just not happening and I am scared more than you can imagine.
