Apparently I actually need someone to hold my hand and kick me in the a$$. I'm just about to give up. Now, I do recognize that I did not make the best choices this week, but I do not understand how I gained a lb.
#1 - Off zoloft
#2 - No longer nursing
which means I lowered my points by 10 and I GAINED weight this week? Had a complete meltdown in the car today. Cried on the phone with DH and then again with C. I called her up and said, I just need someone to talk to. Someone I'm not going to bring down (I've got 2 great weight loss buddies, but they are LOSING, and I don't want to depress them with my gains). So I called my first WW buddy, and my BF since high school. We talked a long time and have determined that I must not be following the good health guidelines to a T.
So I've decided. . . to make some goals for the week. I want to check in here every day and actually have y'all hold me accountable.
#1 - ACTUALLY WRITE DOWN ALL I CONSUME (not just log it into the computer).
#2 - DRINK ONLY WATER and COFFEE this week. Limit coffee to once a day (already doing) and when I get thirsty, grab a glass of water.
#3 - Cardio at least 3x and strength at least 2.
I can do this. I'm tired of being fat.
Going for goal - RAM

Awww sweeties!
Kudos to you for nursing this long...that is WONDERFUL!
It is probably just a little hormone flux from that...you'll be down in NO Time!
There is NOTHING worse in the entire world than a WTF gain!! Believe me, we have all had them.
However, take a few things into mind. You have stopped nursing and your body is adjusting. Also, you have changed medications. Although you would *think* that you would have a loss...you have to give your body time to adjust to those changes, girlfriend!!
I want you to do me one favor. Just one. STOP BEATING UP ON ROSE. Stop it. S-T-O-P I-T N-O-W!! I mean that. Or I will come over and PERSONALLY whoop your azz. I will fly to Texas. Don't think I won't...you know better.
YOU CAN DO THIS!! You can you can you can. But you are so freaking hard on yourself, that it is no wonder that you feel this way. We can believe in you all we want but until Rose believes in Rose.....we can't get very far....
Honey...we all struggle with the same issues which is why we are here. I have warn the same shoes you are. Gaining when we should lose.....losing when we know FULL WELL that we should gain. Our bodies are a mystery. But here is the key. If you keep doing what you need to be doing on a consistent basis, it WILL show up on the scale. It will. Over time it will.
So promise me that JUST FOR TODAY.....don't worry about the week....worry about today.....JUST FOR TODAY....you will write down what you eat, get 30 minutes of exercise and you will be NICE TO ROSE!!
I hate that feeling. Just keep thinking about the goal. Keep working towards the goal. You can do it. It doesn't happen overnight and as long as you keep focussing on the goal, it might be easier to get through these little setbacks. Just don't give up! You can do it!
I know you have several buddies. I'm always here. I wish I was at my 10% too already. Doesn't look as yet that that pot belongs to me. But I'm determined to try. It's not over til July anyway. Don't give up. We have set backs. Part of life. At least that's what I keep telling myself.
