So, a gain over the weekend. And I don't understand why. I worked out both Saturday and Sunday. Didn't eat well, anything bad for me. I just don't understand. I am starting to get annoyed. I was doing so well. I got down to 153.5, and now I'm up 1.5lbs, and that isn't cool.
I talked to my trainer yesterday and voiced my annoyance. He told me that I shouldn't be worrying about it. That if I weigh 155 and lose inches, and I'm at 12% body fat, then I should be happy. I can't seem to wrap my head around that idea.
I am just getting annoyed by the lack of weight loss. I need to get a tape measure so that way I can see if I am, in fact, losing inches. Because if I'm not losing inches, then I'm just gonna slam my head against the wall and see how many calories that burns.
My stomach still feels large. That's where I gain all of my fat, in my stomach. That is annoying. Because then I look pregnant. And I'm not pregnant.
Five pounds isn't anything to sneeze at. That I understand, but I started off with such a bang, that now a stall and the subsequent gain is really starting to get to me. I think the reason that I did gain some weight back was due to the emphasis on the number. I was obsessed with it. In a way that wasn't healthy, so I went opposite and stopped giving a hoot altogether. I need to find a happy medium. If I don't, I might drive myself insane, again.
Oh well, that's that. Happy Monday.

First google "why the scale lies". It will give you insight in to the many reasons you can have a temporary water weight gain that has nothing to do with fat. It could be something as simple as too much sodium or muscles retaining water from a hard workout. You also wrote you "didn't eat well this weekend", which could also be the gain. Unless you meant you did eat well. When you don't have a lot to lose, tracking what you eat is very important. There are foods that help us lose belly fat and bloat better than others. Google them and start incorporating them in to your diet. Be proactive! The number on the scale is a difficult thing. We gauge our weight loss on that but it' doesn't tell the whole story. You can have two people the same height, weight and body types. One ways 150 pounds and is a size 4. The other ways 140 and is a size 8. So you can weigh more and be a much smaller size from fat loss and exercise. It takes time to change your body composition. You can also be a lesser weight and still carry too much fat. So even though it sucks, keep going. Change up your foods. If your on WW, make sure your getting your lean proteins, lean dairy, fruits and veggies. WHAT you eat can be as important as HOW MUCH. Keep away from too many processed foods. I do WW with a modified Atkins. Find what works for you.

My statement read incorrectly, I didn't eat anything bad for me. I just used punctuation incorrectly, I meant: "Didn't eat, well, anything bad for me."
Meaning, I didn't eat anything bad.
