Stupid freak out

[rebecca61885 35]

So I gained a pound and it's stayed for a couple days. I'm aware I'm silly and have lost my mind caring over one silly pound. Keep saying that my scale may have misread when it said I lost it to begin with... I don't know. I haven't been eating a ton of food or anything so someone just tell me that it's no big deal and it has happened to others and that I will go back down again. I'm only 4 months out so I can't be done right?!?

Deep cleansing breath! You are probably just experiencing a stall which happens from time to time. Sometimes our bodies have a mind of their own. Examine what you've been doing food-wise and are you getting enough Water? Dehydration will stop your weight loss as will insufficient calories over the long term (starvation mode) or perhaps you've changed your exercise routine which can cause a stall or temporary gain. At 4 months out you are really in the beginning stage so chill baby!

Water weight! Do not stress about this at all. Drink MORE Water, take a walk, simply eat clean and check the scale in the morning (if you must!). You'll be down!

A pound of fat is approximately 3500 calories....you didn't gain that! It's just your body holding on to some Water - many things can affect that...Maybe you worked out particularly hard yesterday or the day before - your muscles need Water to recover. Maybe yesterday you consumed a lot of Protein - your body will hold on to water so you can process it. Maybe you ate a lot of salt. Who knows, it just happens.

Don't stress over it!

I am 4 weeks out of surgery and all together I have lost 68 pounds, I went to a doctors office and weighed and I had gained a pound. I looking it over I have not been getting all my Protein in or drinking enough liquids. So today is a new day and I went to the pool and worked out and I will eat more protein and drink more today. My daughter baked blueberry muffins this morning and it was hard to smell them and not want just a little, Thank God she told me no, made me made mad but I got over it.lol

Thanks for all of your advice! I took it.. Mostly thinking I wasn't getting enough liquids. I had a detox day and went back to the basics only. Anyways I lost 2 pounds so your advice got me out of the rut.
