in Health and Weight Loss
So, I went away for the weekend to Boston for a baseball game and to hangout with friends and I got back and weighed in and I gained 3lbs!!!! Ugh, I am so mad at myself, I did a lot of walking and a lot of stairs but nothing happened I gained weight. I wish I didnt love food so much, it wins every time and I'm never gonna lose and keep off this 10-15lbs for good, it is definitely true it is the hardest part of your weight loss process!!! Any advice for someone who loves food and doesnt like exercise.....aka.....EVERYONE!!!! Ahhhh help!!! Thanks!!

    Unless you ate around 13000 cals above your maintain cals, its probably water weight from sodium of eating the processed foods etc

    Yeah, just do some light walking, and drink a lot of water, I'm sure that extra few pounds will just fall right off. :)

    sorry no easy answers here. you can't talk negative to yourself, it gets into your head and then to your body and then you really "can't" do it you can do anything you really want to do, and where most of us don't want to work out we do want the results. so you learn to at least tolerate it

    I LOVE food too, and i have found I get to eat A LOT of it and learn new reciepes and foods flavors and combinations trying to balance the calories with fat and sodium intake, its fun, and the food is great and i enjoy ever bite of it at 1500-1600 cals a day, i even have a mcdonalds icecream from time to time

    its all about 1) self inventory, be honest with yourself, we all (including me) are guilty of making excuses to justify the areas we are lacking. once you've done that its about dedication and commitment, it might be weeks before you see results or you might get lucky and see them in days but either way stay strong and dedicated.

    The fact that you walk and take stairs tells me that you don't "suck" at exercising. Just focus on reasonable, positive changes and keep going forward :)
