I'm an inch bigger!! D:

I'm obsessed, I measure and weigh myself every single day. I've been sticking to my diet perfectly, and do very intense weights with aerobics every other day (4 days a week). But tonight after I got home from work, I measured my stomach and I'm an inch bigger! I've never had this before and I'm lightweight freaking out. Any ideas why??

    You're probably bloated. Measure yourself once a week. Everyday is too much. Your body changes through out the day.

    do you usually measure at night? Make sure to measure at the same time as food, water, and time of day can have an effect. You could be bloated, full etc.
  • You measured yourself after eating food?

    Did you measure yourself in the same exact spot? Were you bloated? I weigh myself everyday, because I'm a numbers junkie, but I only take measurements about once a month. Why do you take measurements daily?

    Dude, you have a way bigger problem than inches. This isn't a great mindset - how long do you think you can keep up at this pace? Weighing and measuring can be just fine, but you are approaching it totally obsessively - you're either going to burn out or start some really unhealthy behavior to keep it up.

    Do yourself a favor. Take a breath. Evaluate your goals. Come up with a balanced and less frenetic pace for accomplishing them. Take another breath.
  • Stop measuring yourself everyday! Thats going to stress you out. The best time you measure yourself is in the morning when you have no food in your system and do it once a week or every other week. Take a deep breath. If you are eating healthy and working out you will lose weight..it doesn't happen over night. :)
