I've been debating for DAYS as to whether or not I was going to record my weight if the scale showed a gain today. I knew it wasn't a good week and I figured there would be some gain...while I hate to see my little graph show anything but downward trends, I decided that not recording it would be denying that it happened. If I deny that it happened, I don't have to face the truth and do anything about it...I could just keep going for weeks without recording and where would that get me? I EVEN considered just posting the same weight showing no gain or loss even if I did gain...the games we play with ourselves...
Anyway, I knew that the only right thing to do (for me, at least) was to face the music, post the gain, and then move forward. Besides, I don't think I could handle looking at FatSecret's red "Weigh In Now" sign for a week! ;)
I haven't hit "submit" yet but I am wondering what FS is going to say about a gain..."At this rate you will NEVER reach your goal." I'm sure it won't say that, but it probably should. :)

I understand that! I don't enter gains if it's just fluctuation but I do if it's real- like I knew I screwed up. I think honesty is best because that's what this is all about right? Being accountable to ourselves. Nobody is perfect and an imperfect line on your graph is just a reflection of that. You know what you have to do to change it :)

It is hard, but think about how good it will feel to see it go back down again!

Exactly what k8yk says, it's all about being honest and accountable. Being dishonest about what I ate and what I weighed is how I got so bad in the first place :P

Sometimes, we just have to face the music and you should know that you are only accountable to yourself...who also happens to be your own worst critic! Being honest and taking accountability is part of the journey. Besides, you really can't fool yourself anyway! Accept that it was a bad week and get back on track. You know what has to change and you know that you have the tools to make it happen. You can do this! You know you can do this! YOU ARE WORTH IT.

I was in the same boat a few weeks back. I kept creeping up and I didn't want to post the weight. I finally did it and I started going back down. lol I use to skip meetings when I know the scale wasn't going to be my friend. Now, I just realize I have to take the good with the bad. If I know I had a bad week and scale is going to show it, I have to look at the consequences and just keep moving forward.

You have to admit it. This is all about truth and hiding from it just sabatoges your efforts. Trust me you will be thinking about it, you're already fretting over it. I posted my gains not once but twice in three months. Just do it and get it overwith. You'll feel better.
