To the very few that read this, please read this post to get inside my head.
This past weekend camping trip was so much fun...it really was, but it's nothing like getting off track that makes me feel worst the most. I planned my meals for every day that weekend. I thought I did so good. Come to weigh in on Monday morning with a gain was just a blow to my overall confidence about my diet.
So what am I doing right this minute? I am re-watching Shanti's old videos because she is amazingly inspirational to me. I remember when her and I first started talking when she first joined YouTube. She's lost all her weight and got to goal, well her first goal. She did all of that by counting calories and exercising. She makes it look so easy.
It's hard when I see a gain on the scale after what I thought was a victorious weekend, food wise. If I'd have known I would have gained, then I should have actually eaten what I was craving. It's hard to not give in to temptation, it's hard to stay on track, and it's hard to do that while you are the only one dieting.
This blog is all over the place because that's where my head is at tonight.
I've been on Weight Watchers for almost 8 weeks now and look at my stats:
W1: 189 (-3.0)
W2: 186 (-3.0)
W3: 186 (maintained)
W4: 185.5 (-0.5)
W5: 186 (+0.5) (need to start losing here)
W6: 186 (maintained)
W7: 187 (+1.0) ugh..stupid camping lol
Wow.......I mean I'm happy that I've lost 5 lbs and have been able to keep it off, but this is clearly not working. I feel like I'm eating to maintain when in my head, I want to eat to LOSE!! It's not showing!
Where am I going from here? Not sure. I'm still going to post weigh ins on my page, but really what's the point?
Let's see if I can turn this week around? I might actually listen to Shanti's advice like I did last summer.....at least last summer I saw changes......

You can't let it get to you like this! And yeah, so Shanti is inspirational, but keep in mind it has taken her over a year and a half, and she lost on average a quarter of a pound a week! And she had gains, and she had maintains, and it wasn't easy for her, no matter how it may sound when she talks about it in her videos! Just take it slow, get back on it, don't beat yourself up for gaining weight on your camping trip. You had to have gotten dehydrated, so your body is probably holding onto water now in order to make up for it, not to mention healing your skin from that awful sunburn. So just relax, take a breath, and you'll be fine! Don't give up!
thanks Laura :)
