As I'm sure you have all noticed my weight is crazy latley! It's due to alot of different factors but mostly my own. I've never been good at dealing with extreme stressful situations without food. I know that's sounds so weird but I feel this group if any can understand what I mean when I say that. It's an issue I struggle with and am trying to learn to deal with in a more healthy way, but I don't know how and I always shut down when I get like this. I don't wanna do that anymore. I wanna turn this around! Thanks for all the support you guys give it really means alot! I did consider quitting the group so I didn't let you guys down and I was embarrassed, but that's what I always did in the past so I'm just gonna face it and change it! Thanks guys.2 -

@satchel2008 Well, quitting isn't going to help your situation, that's for sure. And if it makes you feel any better, I am in a similar boat this week. Last week I stuck to my plan like glue, lost 6 lbs, this week, couldn't do it for anything and damn near gained them all back (most of it is water weight from eating things that I KNOW don't agree with me) but yeah, it is a normal part of the process. You will have ups and downs but really some of the best things you can do for yourself are: forgive yourself, you are after all only human, really think about why it happened--are you trying to eat your feelings, push stress down, etc and can you deal with that in a different way, maybe go for a short 20 min walk or something (that was a tool I used a while back), but you really did touch on the important part, you identified what you normally do and how that hasn't helped you in the past. Now, you really just need to figure out what WILL help you moving forward. I have really been trying to address a lot of similar things lately. I go through a week or 2 where I do so great and get close to a goal, then I take a step back and mess it all up, it's like mentally I am self-sabotaging it and I need to figure out why, so I have been journaling, trying to figure out why I am doing what I am doing, like am I feeling a certain way when something hits me, etc. Maybe something like that can help you. And as always, we are always here to help offer suggestions, we all face issues, it's not an easy journey!3 -

@KT4everFree I really can't recommend eating back those calories. One big reason why I don't is that they're estimates and are generally very over estimated and if you eat them back, you will likely over eat because of the over estimation. And I look at it as a bonus, anything you burn over what you planned to is just less fat on your body...which is really the goal anyway.
I have written this response and re-written it 3 times now, trying not to give too much information on a somewhat simple question.
The bottom line is that for the first 2.75 years of my journey I did not pay any attention to those exercise calories, but now I am looking at them a bit differently because of my current situation so for most people what I am currently worried about won't apply since I am a competitive weightlifter and fuel for my body matters and my weight also matters.0 -

@RetroJoe28 As I am sure you already know, this is normal, you wont lose every single week and some weeks you will see a big drop on the scale. The trick is to not get discouraged and make adjustments when you need to, like making better snack choices

@caloricus Nice loss! Diet is really the primary factor in weight loss and exercise can of course help, but even when low energy, sticking to your diet will get you where you want to go! Nice job!
