WHY?! HOW?!
I don't know how or why I gained 1.6 this week. :-( But I do know that I did. And it sucks.
Here's how I'm rationalizing this, I will use the 5 Stages of Grief to make my thoughts a bit more clear:
1. Denial. What happened? There is no way that I gained 1.6 in ONE WEEK since in theory it takes 3500 extra calories to gain 1 pound, so in theory I would have had to eat an EXTRA 5600 calories for this to have been a REAL GAIN, and that's on top of all the exercise that I did. Not a real gain.
2. Anger. F YOU, scale!!! You are an idiot. F YOU, WW. I followed you to a T and still gained. I hate WW and I hate my scale!!!
3. Bargaining. Okay, fine, so I gained some weight. I promise that I will be a good and perfect WW-er next week, and in return I will lose what I gained this week plus a pound! Right? RIGHT?!
4. Depression. Why me?! Everything was going so well. I was on track to losing 50 pounds in 2010 just last week. Now I'm behind. I suck at WW and at life. What is wrong with me??!!
5. Acceptance. Fine. I gained 1.6 last week. That was LAST WEEK. This is this week, and I will be owning up to the gain on ww.com and fatsecret, I will blog and journal about it, and I will stay true to WW this week and lose at least some of the gain. Gains happen, and they aren't always explainable.
I can only change the present and the future, not the past. So, here's to me, moving on. Hurray.
