I am working through my frustration. I went back to my permanent home for a week, stayed on program 100 percent. I didn't even go out to eat once. I stayed away from wine, even though allowed, and was fairly active. I got on the scale there and had lost a pound. However, when I came back to my vacation home and got on the scale I have been using most of the summer, I showed a weight gain, two pounds more than that. To say I was angry would be an understatement. Then I did what I promised myself I would do in cases like this. I had already noticed that my pants were looser, the ones I use often. But they stretch, so I chalked it up to that. However, I LOOKED thinner. So I tried on my non-stretch pants, and they fit beautifully. So I figure that I have lots of liquid fat floating around in my body and it weighs a lot. I then looked back at my weight loss history on different diets. This is par for the course. I don't lose fast. Surprisingly, the early stages of this WW showed a better weight loss than my other diets. However, it is very, very slow now- maybe 2 to 3 pounds a month if I am lucky. So what is the alternative- start eating crap? I am happy with the fact that I am eating such a healthy diet. If I feel deprived, it is because I want to lose the weight faster, not that I can't have something I want. The other day I made pasta for my husband. I could have had it. Instead, I had my boring white meat chicken. I enjoy the sides more than the chicken. I never liked white meat chicken. It doesn't matter how I cook it. So last night I decided to just count the points and have some dark meat chicken. It was much more filling. So I am hanging in without a weight loss in over two weeks. I will keep trying on the pants and use that as a guide. Funny thing is that I am just about the same weight I was two years ago. I just want to get out of this range for good. I am thinking of changing my weigh in day because WW starts the week on your weigh in day, erasing saved points. I want those saved points on a weekend. So I might switch to Tuesdays or even MOndays.
