Thursday Weigh In 3/8

How did it go?

Up 3.4

I have not sabotage myself on a Wednesday the day before my WI in a long time. Last week was a big loss and now almost gained back all my loss.

The continuing scale going up and down is getting old for me. The long term loss of continuing the scale down needs to get with keeping the scale once it low. I need to figure out why I bounce up after I get a good loss.

Onward and DOWNWARD

Are you sure you aren't intentionally sabotaging yourself? Sometimes, when we get closer to goal, I think it scares us a bit. Also as someone (maybe Shendler?) pointed out years ago -- treat every day the same. Too many people undereat the day before (and the day of) weigh-in to ensure a good weigh-in. Then one week, for whatever reason, they eat as they normally would the day before and it shows up on the scale as an "unexpected" gain. Not saying that's what you do, but it's something to think about.

Either way, it's time to get back on track and figure out what's causing this. Whatever you do, don't overdo it trying to lose all that in one week.

So @Jimb376mfp , are you wondering 'why I bounce up after ... a good loss' or why you overeat after a big loss? I only ask because you mentioned sabotaging yourself Wed. The answer will be most helpful if you are answering the right question. And i have questions of my in ...

Like, don't you wonder, why the big loss all of the sudden?

And then there's my situation, up 0.2 after a good loss last week. I did not sabotage myself last week. I'm guessing the small gain is balancing out last week. Thursday may have been an especially low day on my rollercoaster ride of weight loss.

But what really perplexes me is ... why after eating a piece of Costco pizza Thursday after WI, with plans to eat low point the rest of the day, did I proceeded to eat cheese puffs and cookies. Tracked and within weeklies, but still ... Definitely not worth it! So annoyed! I want a do-over!

Thanks for the thoughts, I am trying to Reset my mind right. I know I am not “off the rails” and I know that weight loss is not linear, I am not losing weight after week after week as I get closer and closer to my GW.

The fluctuation of the number on a Scale depends on how the Thursday WI racks up to a time capture at one thirty seconds.

I gained 3.4 yesterday so now I need to realize that the amount of fluid will leave some of that weight. The details of what I’m eating will look closer and know what I’m looking at what it is to see if I am doing something wrong.

Knowing that “caring” keeps me aware and knowing that I will continue to keep on trying.

You're welcome for 'the thoughts'. I'm not sure they are very helpful though. I feel like it was more ramblings LOL. The unpredictability of it all is making me a little crazy!
