So Frustrating!

rmeenen

So today was weigh in day and I am up a pound. This makes me really frustrated because I know yesterday (I weigh everyday but only officially record on Fridays) I was down 2 pounds!! I am wondering if the gain is from stress? I have been out of school for a year and this week I was called in at the last minute (4:45 Wednesday afternoon and my interview was at noon Thursday) to interview for a position that I really wanted. What I ate yesterday was normal and I had the same water intake but the times were all out of whack because I worked 8-5 yesterday while going to this interview over my lunch break. I'm just wondering if the stress and nerves of everything really took a toll on my body and caused this or if its just a normal fluctuation from eating at weird times yesterday or a combination of both?

That happens to me allllll the time.. I weigh myself daily but record once a week. For example, yesterday for my weigh in I was only down .6 lbs from previous week. This morning, I lost almost a full pound more.(why didn't you fall off yesterday pound? :ohwell: ) ,.. but the difference is I didn't get to workout yesterday and I was able to sleep in a little more today. I just live with the flucations and record same day for consistency. Maybe next week will be a great week since it will normalize out over the next several days..

It could be stress, it could be water or fluid from foods, it could be a number of things....I only weigh in one time a week now...on wednesdays, because I learned that on mondays i'd never see a change because of the weekends eating being a little different and heavier than my work week eating....you'd be surprised which foods carry and hold water for hours upon days sometimes....

why do you weigh yourself everyday?

Those are the ups and downs of dieting...I weigh in every 4 weeks...makes it a lost easier for me...I am in this for the long haul. I check weight almost every day but only count the 4 week weigh in as serious weight status. Salt in take, water retention, activity level, bodies natural way of adjusting to weight lose...many factors add in to a fluctuation. Odds are you will be down 2 lbs in a couple days...hang in there!!!! Oh, and as to why she weighs herself every day...because she is a woman...it is the nature of us creatures to do that!!!

:laugh: so true.. if I am down, I do the happy dance.. if i am up.. I throw a hissy fit and say "this isn't working. I give up" .. and then the moment passes and it's all good for the rest for of the day.. we are indeed sick puppies...

Funny thats exactly what I said one my blog page today too.What does Stress weigh?? lol but really it affects us tremendously so how to get rid of it? I am so frustrated. I have always eaten well way before any diet or fad came out, I rarely overeat and even with all the exercixe I am doing NOTHING!!! I have very thin legs & arms but a large middle. It just will not go away. So I understand.
BTW Good Luck, I will think only good thoughts for you in your endevor to locate a job!!!All my best, A
