      It's not about your weight, it's about how you look, too many variables in weight to satisfy the mind of a... weight watcher, you'll just drive yourself crazy.

      Number one lesson on your weight loss journey. NEVER, weigh yourself on a daily basis--you will only set yourself up for failure. And as has been mentioned by several others--this is a journey not a race. Take one day at a time and don't sweat the small stuff.

      You are my new Best Friend!!!:flowerforyou:
      So many people ask me:
      Them: "What are you doing to lose weight?"
      Me: "Watch what I eat and exercise"
      Them: "Well, how long did it take you?"
      Me: "A few months"
      Them: "Try this or that, you will lose it faster..."

      Ummm... no, not a race!

      I agree with you... 100%! I weigh myself daily and also understand the fluctuations. However, someone as obsessive over it as the OP (to the point of going into panic mode) definitely needs to lay off of it for awhile until she can understand the process. That kind of obsession... especially for an emotional eater... will destroy any progress that was made and be highly detrimental to her success.

      And on that we can agree.

      (Did everyone see what just happened here? Two people with a possible misunderstanding between them just talked it out in an exchange of words on the MFP forum and found common ground and understanding. Weird.)

      If your weight gain is from the beans, it is water retention from the sodium. Drink lots of water, it will flush out.

      Would you prefer;

      "Awww I'm soooooo sorry! It really sucks that you HAVE NO IDEA HOW YOUR BODY WORKS."

      The echo chamber is not much into sharing truth that is sometimes hard to accept.

      I'm never going to post anything on here again. Most of you are mean & unsupportive. I appreciate the ones who were supportive and understood that I was frusturated with the water weight gain.

      that's a bit of an extreme reaction to having a little egg on your face!
      if i reacted like this every time i got laughed at, i'd have not spoken or typed a word in the last 35 years.
      sometimes you gotta be able to laugh at your own silliness. laugh it off and move on.
