Cowgirlspurr's Journal, 18 September 2008

That is definately a possibilty. KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING! Do not get frustrated. Your body will adjust. It took a long time to get here it will take a long time to get back. When we are heavy, hydration can make as much as a 5 to 6 puond difference daily. Drink a ton of water and stay away from salty foods the day before way in. I know you are going to make this happen this time! 

That would be "weigh" in. My fingers get away from me sometimes :) 

You could have buit up muscle, leaner but denser than fat... measure yourself - you may not have lost lbs but I bet you feel better in your clothes! 

Are you tracking what you eat? I know not here but somewhere else? I have foudn recording has helped me TREMENDOUSLY even though I was always reluctant before... 

I have to say, YES, you have to journal to let yourself really SEE what it is that you are eating. If you don't have it in black and white, it is extremely difficult to remember every little bite, and unfortunately they all add up, rather quickly, lol. (Personal experience!) That being said, you have had a rather stressful day yesterday, so that is a major factor. Don't look back, dust off, chin up, drink your water and somewhere, write down everything you eat and drink. thedailyplate.com is a great place to easily log food/intake. I would also evaluate your salt consumption in the past day, that is usually a major culprit for a gain. YOU can DO THIS!! :) 

Thanks everyone. I need to hear your kind words today. I am soo stressed it is unreal. (see Journal) But I know walking is good for me and i m going to stick with it!!! Have beeen eating healthier and less. watching the portions. Talk to you all soon, Hugs, Denice 

Keep at it, it could be your body adjusting, maybe water weight. If your diet is good and you are walking it can't be fat. Hang in there ((hugs)) (O: 

agree with ebrowner88 took a lot of time to put it on so dont rush your body will adjust in time, Im feeling bit like you today but for us in Ireland (its 23 mins past midnight) its now a new day and a new start.
