I used to myself that I only need to go for 20 minutes, to make it "no big deal. " once there I always stayed for at least an hour.

I notice that when I get right back on plan following 1-2 "setback" days, the weight seems to melt off. It's like I gave my body permission to let the weight go. It's not a sprint, it's a marathon, hang in there for the entire race and you will get the results you want!

Could be less sleep or water retention. Did you eat an extra 17,500 calories this week? I assume the answer is no. I personally have strange 3-5 pound gains every few weeks, but it always goes away within a few days. Hang in there.

Always during emotional events. 5 pregnancies, divorce, job change, financial trauma. Food has always been my drug of choice. Gained and lost 30-50 pounds 6 times since age 18. (never ever reached "goal" ...always a bit of self-sabotage i think...)Here we go again.....Spent too much time over-analyzing why I was…
