Dissapointment

Well I really let myself down this weekend.

 

I was doing SO good, following the diet to the letter, and then the weekend hit. Started off with a little road trip to see my family on the coast. I did fine that morning, at some turkey for breakfast. For lunch, we took my nephews to the local pizza place and I ate about 1/3 of a taco salad (minus the chips, onions, tomatoes). Took the rest home and got about 4 bites in, and I felt full. I thought I would take one last bite (it was so tastey) and I was in PAIN. Horrible indigestion feeling. I pressed my luck and lost. So the rest of the evening I was too full and mad at myself to eat anything else.

 

Sunday, we all went out to breakfast and I had about half of an egg white and turkey omlet. Ate the other half for lunch, and this time I listened to my full signal and stopped immediately. Then came the big family BBQ which is where I feel like I slipped into old habits. I found myself crusing by the snack table - granted I ate only healthy, soft foods, but I ate slowly enough and spaced out enough, I ate more than I should have.

 

I stepped on the scale this morning, and have gained back 4 pounds. Saturday night I had gone on a 4 mile jog and was considerably sore the next day, plus I had forgotten to take my diuretic BP pill all weekend and am feeling bloated, but still, FOUR POUNDS!

 

I'm back on track today, I know I cannot do this to myself again. Not only did I feel crummy while eating, but I feel horrible today. I work hard to lose every ounce, and my mindless eating overtook a whole week of being good. I get a fill tomorrow, hopefully that will help, but I definitely learned my lesson.

i think it is likely water weight from eating out so much... drink a ton of water in the next 2 days and lower your salt and i bet you lose weight. eating out and having others cook for you (particularly bbq) is so heavy in salt compared to what you normally eat. don't beat yourself up. try more water to help flush your system and report back!

I know this isn't on topic, but last week (had surgery 5/10 and 2 cc fill 6/7) had cramps, water weight gain and a little "mini" period! Hey, I haven't had a period in months and didn't miss it! But last week I was ready to eat too much and all the excitment that can come with that time of the month. However, back on track now and always eating my protein first, then the rest.
