Ten F*cking Pounds!!!

[SarahB]

This is the follow-up post to my 3&1/2 days of eating various forms of junk food.

Granted, it includes avast amount of Chinese food which is salty and makes me retain water and there's other reasons I'm probably retaining water, but still. Anyway, it'll come off, but next time you see a woman with a reasonably nice figure, don't say, "I hate her." (Yes, I have actually had people say that to me.) I have to fight for everything when it comes to this and sometimes, it royally sucks. :(

Tonight- broiled fish and broccoli.

1. yes, don't hate me coz i'm beautiful, i'll give a few other good reasons!

2. Drinking troughs of water staves off hunger.

Also, eat lots of litle things all day, staying away from big meals as much as humanly possible.

I lost 15 pounds on WW about 6 years ago, and now I've gained it all back plus ten. My downfall is that I love to eat while on DU. :(

3. Had That Last Night. It Was Yummy!

> Tonight- broiled fish and broccoli.

The fish was fresh, nicely seasoned, and cooked to perfection.
I don't think the sauce added too many calories.

The broccoli was really good too.

5. and didn't I warn you?

but, 10 pounds in that short a time is pretty quick.

11. Tell me about it.

You were saying your wife is one of those women who is always trying to gain weight? Perhaps someone needs to do some type of DNA experiment and cross a few genes or something. :think:

This gets tedious to have to be so vigilant, but I've been through the alternate path of not being as vigilant and I really don't like how I look or feel in that regard. Overall, I'm grateful for my good health. Lots of people have lots worse to deal with in their lives than this, but I felt like whining just ever so slightly. It's been a lousy week and this was just kind of icing on the cake I suppose.

[NewJeffCT]

13. yes

Sorry, didn't see you had replied until now... yes, my wife would love to gain weight. The day after she gave birth to our daughter almost 2 years ago, she was the same weight she was 9 months earlier before she got pregnant.

Next time, buy a punching bag or something similar to take your frustrations out on.

7. Ahhh....you know all of you is and will remain gorgeous!

Don't fret! :hug:

8. A lot of that is probably water retention.

I think it is very difficult to put on ten lbs of fat weight in that short of a period. And, like you said, some of it was Chinese food, which in the US means lots of salt. Water weight is easier to lose, and it comes off quicker. :)

10. Hi Pithlet!

Thanks for the well wishes last night. I'm working on being better! :hug:

[Pithlet]

12. Hi!

I hope you feel better, soon. We're all so happy you're back :hug:

9. Just get you mind back in the right place, those 10 will be gone in a week

major water consumption to start right away.

14. You'll lose it.

The success you have had is inspiration for me. Everyone backslides from time to time. Don't beat yourself up. Take it from someone who used to do that daily.
