Wednesday Weigh-In: My Battle with Food, Exercise, and Body Image

It was bound to happen. I THINK I wrote about it last week, but I didn’t go back and look.

So, last week I bombed. It happens. Part of it is hormonal. I get that. There is something else that happens too and I can’t figure out how to defeat it. It’s like as soon as I see a significant dip in the scale, I become ravenously hungry. I binge. Every time. That was last week.

As I said, some of it is hormonal. So when I weigh in next week, I will have lost some water weight and “bloat”. BUT I am gonna really have to step up my game to recover and get back on track because

I GAINED 3 POUNDS!

THREE POUNDS!!!

IN ONE WEEK!!!!!

My MERCY! Who DOES that?

Me, that’s who.

Now, normally this is where I would call it quits, throw in the towel and drown my sorrows in some chips and dip. I’m not going to do that this time.

I am going to buckle back down with my eating.

I am going to the gym starting today.

I am going back to a goal of 80 oz of water a day.

I am going to get serious about sleep…go to bed earlier and get up earlier.

I am going to count my points like I’m supposed to instead of guessing.

I know I can do this. People lose weight and get in shape all the time. I have to gain control.

We’ll see how it turns out next week.

I am hoping to lose the 3 I gained and 2-4 more. Probably not gonna happen…but we’ll see.

Till next week!
