grrr bread hates me...well, my body hates bread and bread-like items. And I had a sandwich at a graduation party Saturday, pizza that night, and a hamburger bun Sunday. grrr, why do I continue to do this to myself? All it does is eliminate the week's loss. So, rather than using this morning's weight of 145.2 which includes a lot of water weight, I'm using Friday's weight of 142.4.

@nikkit321, if it makes you feel any better, bread LOVES me too - so much that one measly bagel will overstay it's welcome for 3-4 days. How can one food item that weighs a couple ounces in hand turn into a couple pounds in my stomach? I try not to give in to it's spell, but alas, I am only successful occasionally.

Ladies~
I am with you both. Why does something so yummy have to hate me so much?
Rude bread. Just rude.

So glad to meet you both! I think it's why it frustrates me with the standard MFP attitude that every calorie is equal. No, it's not. Not even close. I do have a question for both of you though. For me, those extra pounds stay 4-5 days, I just get back to where I was prior to The Incident and then the week is over. So those extra pounds don't just say several days, it actually negates any loss for the week. Is that what you find? Also, if I have bread, then have it again while still carrying the water, I get even more water piled on. Does this happen to you?

Perhaps we need our own support group. I think it'd be easier if I was actually allergic because then it'd be easier to want to avoid it.
