I gained not 1, not 2, but 3.8 pounds. I guess that's just about 4 pounds, darnit.
I'm hot, and you'd think I'd be uninterested in eating. Not so. I think since my father-in-law went back to Morocco, it's like a bad eating free for all. We kind of had to eat better when he was here, plus I was ashamed to eat junk in front of him, lest he think me some horribly unhealthy person. My husband got about -0- sleep over the weekend in NYC (taking his dad back, meeting up with some Moroccan friends), and was beat, so he went to bed right after work on Monday. Me? I had COOKIES and milk for dinner. Lovely. The only good thing was on Saturday night it was so infernally hot in the apartment in Queens (Moroccan friends), that I swore I must have sweated off at least a pound. The scale, or course, tells me something else.
I keep saying I've gotta get back on track, but I really must. This weekend is "major overhaul" weekend in the condo, so we're going to get the place in shape, and then stock the fridge with foods that are healthy. I cannot be out of shape. I want to have kids, and do not want to be huffing and puffing just to keep up with them. I huff and puff now, but not that badly. But if I don't rein it in, it will only get worse.
Wish me luck.

It's Ok
Barb, don't be so hard on yourself! Maybe with all that heat &/or hormones you are retaining a little water weight? You never know. I know you can find the strength to get back on track... I wish I knew what to say, but I can honestly tell you that I am here rooting for you in your corner!
Thanks Kim!! Your kind words mean a lot. Maybe it is the heat, but man-o-day, I have just been hungry for stuff I shouldn't be eating. I just think I need to rethink my eating habits (again), and get back on track and force myself to stick with it.
I had the same thoughts you were having a few weeks ago.....Do I really have to give up this? That? But I LOVE it!! I feel better when I eat better, but my taste buds try and tell me to eat the bad stuff.
The heat has been making me want to eat more also. Also, don't give up your food, just eat in moderation. Most people say one should give up posta to lsoe weight. I think that is silly... Plus if you give up your favorite things, it will make it easier to bing on them later.
You can do it, you can get back on track, and you will do great at it!! Remember, tomorrow starts a new day.
