Intellectually I know that weekly fluctuations are normal & that a .4 lb gain one week in no way takes away from the 15lbs I've lost over the last 3 months. However, emotionally, it is a completely different story. My brain tells my that this is nothing to worry about, that it could just be the splurge I had last night for dinner. I didn't feel guilty eating it last night, but now I do, even though I shouldn't. I had a couple bad days last week, but mostly good days. And I know I just need to keep doing what I'm doing & it will balance out in the end. With all that said, I am still angry :angry: at myself & feel like crying :cry: over .4 lbs.

    I had a bad weekend and I too, am up .4 lbs.

    You move on. Stay strong. 2 steps forward and one step back, is still a step in the right direction. Just remember this feeling when you are tempted.

    Look at the sodium in that burger. You very likely didn't "gain" any weight at all. Drink lots of water today. You're doing great.
