My shock and surprise
Nov 08 2009 23:43

I finally decided journaling might be a good thing to do.  I think it is a better way to express myself than just replying to others' posts.  I have had a slow weight loss since I started on January 1, 2009, at 266 lbs. I've been fine with that most of the time but eventually got fed up and wanted a slightly faster weight loss toward my goal of 160.  So since I started CC on October 14, ( I lost 53 pounds on my own) I've lost 4 pounds and at last weigh in time I was 209.  I was very happy.  The day after I weighed myself again and my weight had gone up to 212 for no reason that I know of.  Because I am now totally inactive because of a leg injury I thought it would be best if I reduced my calorie intake from 1400 to 1200+/- .  5 days out of 7 I did that.  I had one evening when I wilfully and consciously decided I wanted to eat my favourite starches (bread, cereal and a potato) and so the next day I went up another pound to 213.  Imagine how I felt this morning to see my weight sky-rocket to 214, again for no good reason.  So now I'm 5 pounds more than last Monday. I came nowhere to eating an extra 3500 calories at any time this week.  To say I was mad would be an understatement!!!  I was steaming and wanted to murder the scale.  Except for some water retention problems I've suffered from at times during the week I figure I'm either pregnant (not possible at my age) or there is something in the water.  Maybe the swine flue left a little pig in my stomach.  Since I've had my shots that can't be it either!!  I didn't stay mad  for long thank goodness, but I sure hate to have to cope with losing those extra 5 pounds, having not had any fun putting them on.  There is no quitting, because what would be the pleasure in that.  Any comments?  Mary P.S.  Tulip is mad too, because she didn't get her little piece of ham this morning.  First she beat the s..t out of her little bunny and then took a round out of her mattress pad.  Not  satisfied yet, she tore her pee papers to shreds.  I think she felt like a little woman scorned.
