Can't believe it. I've basically gained 9 pounds in a matter of a four days. Surely most of it is water weight. I have to get my life back on track as I have been so disorganized these past two weeks. As soon as I hit a 50 pound loss, I went insane and sabotaged not only my diet but my life as well.
In the beginning (of this sabotage), I bought some clothing for summer as I never, ever buy clothes for myself. I tend to be a real penny pincher, but honey you would NOT have thought it if you saw how much I spent on clothes, shoes, and a new purse. I really bought these clothes to feel better about my new figure (as well as to not wear wool in 80 degree weather) and because I was going on a weekend beach trip with some girlfriends. But, after all that is said and done, now I wish I could give my clothes back!! I'm starting to second guess if everything I bought was just on a whim and if it even looks good on me, or did I just buy it because some things were finally fitting?? (Jury is still out and tags have already been ripped off.)
Now, on to the eating part... I ate like I used to eat on this weekend's beach trip. No regards at all to how many calories or carbs I was intaking and did I mention the ALCOHOL involved? Yep, those daquiris and margaritas do have a bit of those devils in them. How can I say this in a dignified way? Ten girls on a bachelorette weekend at the beach = many decisions on who all is going to help carry the three huge coolers of beer down to the beach. Multiply that by four days. By the way, I can honestly say that was the only exercise involved this past weekend.
I'm usually really good about tracking my food and I hate to have empty days on my calendar, but it looks like it will stay that way because I have no earthly idea everything that I ate these past four days. I tried one day and once I reached over 3000 cals, I just said to heck with it.
Earlier, I alluded that I needed to organize my life. I just realized that in this small timeframe I completely forgot to wish two very important people in my life a happy birthday. Their birthdays were back to back and I feel terrible about not calling them, and now I'm clueless as to how I'm going to explain myself when I do call them. (Truthfully, I left my calendar book at home while I was on the trip and had no idea that it was their birthday.) Combine this with the worry over a family member's declining health and "oh crap, did I pay the pest control people this month?" and "how did all those dishes get in the sink and who is going to clean them up?" kinds of questions (you know, life in general), I feel very overwhelmed. Seeing that I gained 9 pounds didn't help my outlook on life this morning.
BUT, today is a new day.

Oh sweetie, I'm absolutely sure you didn't actually gain 9 entire pounds over a weekend. You might have gained a pound or two, maybe, but it's likely a lot of retention from the booze. Drink lots of water and eat lots of veggies and it'll likely go on its merry way within a week or so. For what it's worth-this happens to me a LOT. Some combination of food/salt/whatever and my weight shoots up in a couple of days and then over the next few weeks it slowly drops back down again, usually going down past my previous low. I know I haven't gained weight, I haven't eaten enough to gain weight most of the time. In any case if science had figured this out by now we'd all be skinny, right?

Thank you, Colly! I assume it was some combination of small weight gain + alcohol + sunburn swelling + TOM. I just felt the need to vent this afternoon. I do feel better after reading your post. It is nice to know that this happens to others! In my shame, I almost didn't record the nine pound gain, but who am I to lie on MY OWN diet log? I'll get it off, just like you did! :)

LOL-by all means, don't lie to your own diet log! You WILL take it off, I honestly have seen very few people that have consistent and steady weight loss, week after week after week. Nearly everyone on here bounces up and down, you can look at nearly any weight graph at random and you'll see it. I used to feel really bad about the bounce, until I realized that it happens to so many people that when it DOESN'T happen, it's noteworthy and unusual.

Colly's definitely right about not lieing on your log. We all go through struggles of ups and downs and I feel it helps us to get where we're wanting to go by looking back at everything, whether it be good or bad. Just refocus on your goals instead of your mistakes and it'll get you back on track.
