Weight Loss Forum / WeightWatchers / October 2006Struggling - but staying positive
Had another gain last week :(...........0.8 lbs which means I've gone up 1.4 lbs over the last 2 weeks. I'm disappointed because I really worked my a.s off this week at the gym trying to stave off my over-indulgence at the wedding last week.....On Tuesday, it looked like I was going to have success at Friday morning's WI, but when I woke up on Wednesday, I was up 1 3/4 lbs!, Then I Thursday, I was up another 1/4 lbs.........yet I hadn't done anything wrong. This week, I've decided to go back to FLEX. I feel more in control on FLEX, but I've had 2 major challenges already this week. It was my little son's 6 year old Birthday on Friday and I had a small piece of cake (2 1/2" x 2 1/2") and he wanted to go to Boston Pizza where there was nothing on the menu under 100 grams of fat!....only kidding.......I downloaded the nutritional info from their website and make the best possible to choice to stay within my allowed 31 FLEX points....but I still went over on my day by 16 points..... That left me only 19 of my 35 weekly points. Last night was a major challenge for me. Some of you will remember that back in April, I lost my best friend to cancer? Well, it was his son's wedding last night. YES, it was tough on the emotional level of things, but all in all everyone had a good time. I tried to plan as best as I could. They had an antipasto bar and then pasta, veal marsala, breaded chicken in a white lemon sauce, and seafood.......dessert was a vanilla ice cream dark and white covered chocolate heart with fresh berries. Then they brought out a midnight buffet with all kinds of sweets, fruit and porchetta (stuffed roasted pig). The good news is that I only had fruit from the midnight buffet. I'm taking a huge NSV for that! The other good news is that I stayed away from the bread and butter all night as well. The bad news, is that I didn't pass up any of the main courses. when it was all said and done, I had calculated my points as 42. I had 19 remaining weekly points and 17 remaining on my daily points...................so I guess I went over by 6 points :( We had a good time, and I really didn't over indulge. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving here in Canada and lucky for me, we only stick to white meat Turkey, Fat free gravy, corn, carrots, mushrooms and mashed potatoes made with fat free milk. We're not into pumpkin pie or any fancy desserts and I learned a long time ago to avoid the crescent rolls and buns and only eat a bit of stuffing made with weight-watchers or light bread, onions and sage........ I'm going to try to work my a.s off again all week at the gym, so hopefully my this Friday's WI, I will reduce the possible damage caused this week....... I'm tracking absolutely everything this week.........I hope it will pay off by the end of the week. Sorry for the long post.............

Maybe you did lose fat, but gained muscle. Muscle is heavier than fat. My prediction is that next week you will see a big loss! > This week, I've decided to go back to FLEX.

Tomorrow is > Thanksgiving here in Canada and lucky for me, we only stick to white meat [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > bit of stuffing made with weight-watchers or light bread, onions and > sage........ Ah, yes, our Canadian Thanksgiving. I am cooking here today for my husband's family...turkey, mashed potatoes, yams, brussells sprouts, carrots, stuffing, salad, gravy, apple and pumpkin pie. I don't really care for turkey, mashed potatoes or stuffing, so never really eat much of those items, if any at all. Mostly I stick to salad and vegies, but have to save points for pumpkin pie....one of my favorites. I did make it with fat free evaporated milk instead of the usual cream and full fat milk. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving dinner at my parents house with my brothers and sister and all the kids - works out to be about 20 of us when we get together - should be lots of fun...mind you the kids always make it that way! > I'm going to try to work my a.s off again all week at the gym, so > hopefully [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Sorry for the long post............. No problem....Happy Thanksgiving and good luck at the gym this week! Brenda > Eddie > Weight June05-359.0lbs > Current Weight-284.8lbs > Loss to date=74.2lbs > Goal Weight-180.0lbs Thanks for your comments Brenda :) I thought about the muscle being part of it, but it's been 9 months at the gym and it usually takes a good year to build muscle I think.......... Happy Thanksgiving to you as well..........boy oh boy......thank God you don't like Turkey! 2 meals! ouch! Usually we do my wife's family on Sunday and my family on Monday but this year my sister went to her daughter's in Ottawa, so that eliminated one meal for me! I actually had a really good day today and only consumed 23 of my 31 points due to being busy and missing lunch...........it wasn't intentional, but why eat if I'm not hungry? Maybe it will help balance off the extra 6 I ate yesterday?

For those that have know me for over a year, my story is full of some MAJOR NSV's........I couldn't even stand in line for my weigh-in during my first 30 lbs loss........it's been a wonderful journey and going back to where I was will NEVER, EVER happen again! Quitting is not an option and things can only continue to get better on so many levels for me.

Just a thought. - Ralph > Had another gain last week :(...........0.8 lbs which means I've gone up 1.4 > lbs over the last 2 weeks. [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > but when I woke up on Wednesday, I was up 1 3/4 lbs!, Then I Thursday, I was > up another 1/4 lbs.........yet I hadn't done anything wrong. That's an excellent point Mongo. I have been dealing with a lot lately and the temptations are all over the place. Yes, I've succumbed to a few and have eaten more than I should, but it's nothing like the damage that I would have done in the past. You are now conscious of what you're doing and working on ways to compensate and control it rather than going all in. Even with the slight gain, you scored a NSV. Yesterday we went to an NFL game and had the annual tailgate party. I had a Virgin Mary and lots of raw veggies, but I also had a pecan bar and a whole wheat zucchini muffin (that I baked) and some taco dip. I skipped eating any lunch in the stadium. For dinner that night we went to a Mexican restaurant and I skipped the chips and ordered a light dish (grilled chicken in red sauce with some rice and beans and a little guac - no tortillas or cheese). In the past I would have probably had alcohol, lots of chips and dip, crackers and cheese, junk food during the game and some kind of Mexican dish smothered in cheese, sour cream, and guac. Today I took all of the leftover muffins to work and gave them away. It's a lifestyle change. You enjoy yourself but know there are limits.

YES....you're absolutely right VB!.......learning to live within my limits is a challenge, but I'm getting better at it as each day passes..........good for you in exercising control over your situation as well........I know it's tough, but I think you handled it very well!!!

I have been dealing with a lot lately and the temptations are all over the place. Yes, I've succumbed to a few and have eaten more than I should, but it's nothing like the damage that I would have done in the past.

Very well said..."You enjoy yourself but know there are limits"...That is really WW in a nutshell...GG > That's an excellent point Mongo. > [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] >>> was >>> up another 1/4 lbs.........yet I hadn't done anything wrong. if you really need a reality check... figure out the rate at which you had been gaining before this lifestyle change, go to your highest weight, and figure the time passage and gains that would have occurred if you hadn't changed your eating, if you do this you will be smack in the reality that any small set back is just not a big deal compared to where you could have been, Lee > That's an excellent point Mongo. > [quoted text clipped - 38 lines] > >> was > >> up another 1/4 lbs.........yet I hadn't done anything wrong. very true Ralph!!! Very true!
