Blah! Now I know why I felt so crummy!

I was feeling SO CRAPPY last night... actually I still am- but at least I get it now! Saturday morning- after going out the night before and only drinking ice water all night... I honest to God... SAW 192 on my scale!!!!  I REALLY TRULY SAW 192!!!!! Then the shower yesterday- and yeah, you guys are right- I really didn't eat THAT much- but the sugar does tend to make me feel icky- AND I think it causes water retention.  I drank the right amount of water yesterday- but I didn't get up ONCE during the night to "P".   Normally- I would be up 3-4 times gooing "P"!! Also, I started TOM this a.m. So- there ya go!  And the crappy thing about it all.....  I ate stupid yesterday- that's okay- i forgive me :)  I drank ALL my water- THAT'S GREAT - pat on the back :)  But the real kick in the butt was that not only did I spent about two HOUR****ting the potty last night from the icky my intestines got after eating what I'm not use to eating....  BUT- I was up FOUR POUNDS this morning.  So after seeing 192 on Sat. morning... I saw 196 this morning :(   

You are doing great. Step away from the scale during TOM. I repeat, step away from the scale...

Thanks! Yep... I'm doing JUST THAT :)  No more scale for a few days. Today is my WI day but I'm just NOT going to do that to myself.  I'm going to work at just drinking my water, eating right and I'll get on it maybe this coming Wednesday. Then I'll log my weight. It's just not really accurate today anyway. I'm giving myself that :)

It's easy to forget about how your cycle can influence your behavior and the numbers.  I let mine totally get to me last round.  And then boom, when it was done, 4 lbs back off.  It's all good.

Your doing so good, I wouldn't let it get to you.  Just like Jersey said, next week POOF! your gonna be thinner.  Your doing great.

I also think we need to stop equating the scale with thinness.  If what I've been going through has taught me antyhing, the scale doesn't matter.  I'm 5'6, started at 320 size 24 top, 26 bottom.  I'm <296 now, but my size 18 top is too big and am into a 22 bottom (plus size JLo booty).  I never thought that weighing this I could fit into 16-18s.  maybe in another 50 lbs.  Shows you the importance of muscle.  And muscle does weigh a lot.   So who cares what the scale says?  It's all in how you LIVE.  Eat healthy, be active, ignore the scale.
