usemyotheraddy's Journal, 10 February 2010

After carefully re-thinking everything I ate on Sunday, while I was telling myself I did not cheat, that was true technically. However, after remembering to count the 10 glasses of water with lemon, that really added up, the tomatoes in the guacamole, added up, it was just some really tiny things that I overlooked and didn't log...however, they added up to a 5 lb gain. I am still up, and for the last two days, I could not blame water weight, even with the sodium intake, but today, I have serious dimple edema [simple test for water weight], so I am hopeful with a water flush, that some of the recently gained weight will come off...well, as long as I watch what I am eating...too many carbs, and too much sodium...diet soda is loaded...

I went more than 38 days without a gain, or a cheat, so this was frustrating. I was happy to discover that it was over carbing although unintional instead of a mystery gain. In the future, I won't add lemon to my water anymore, and I will stop eating foods I didn't make, so I know the exact content...guessing screwed me over...big time, even me, "Ms. I am so experienced". That's why this site is so amazing...we can all find comfort from someone else's support. Even me, "Ms. I am so experienced"

Don't be down on yourself. If it helps, seeing that little dotted chart on the right that depicts how much you have lost is very motivational for me. Thank you for your hard work.

No kidding. Lighten up on yourself. I just showed up on this site today. Your dissertation on water convinced me to drink my 200 oz/day. And, your comments on Lemon upped my carbs by 2 yesterday also!!! (gotta watch that) Your a great asset, thanks for your words of wisdom.

adrianna - people on here all mean well, some just have a 'tough' style and believe me, one has to be 'tough' to stick it out with a diet long-term. Most of my neighbors, friends and acquaintances won't do a diet of any sort and so many have extreme weight issues. At least the people here are trying and it is not easy to lose weight for any of us and then we have to keep it off for the long run too. No one here means any harm and if you see criticism it usually meant as constructive and not mean-spirited even if it seems so. :)
