too many food funerals

Ok because my centre barely ever weighs us I decided I had better jump on a scale as I start this optifast adventure.  Note I do not own a scale nor do I plan on purchaseing one for at least 6 months.  I do not want to be focusing on the numbers and will wait and get my surprises at my apointments.  Or may sneak over to moms and use her scale.  either way i don't want it in my house yet.  But i digress I did weigh myself and I have gained 10 lbs since the start of this journey so over a year.......... can you say too many food funerals leading up to this LOL.  Well back on track and working on my optifast keep your eye on the prize.!!!!

Hi Robin

Sorry to hear of all the last supper, funeral foods that you have been experiencing, LOL 

Keep your eyes on the prize and it will be soon

Take care and sending hugs your way, you will succeed

10lbs over the course of a year isnt too bad.  Shoot, I could gain 10lbs in a week before surgery!

But...it's good to start focussing on Optifast and the surgery.  Remember...you want to make sure you're in the best shape possible before having surgery.

Good luck to you :) 

Many last suppers before I started on the optifast...I think it was a great way to say good bye to the junk.  In fact I think I got sick of the last suppers, which made the optifast a new beginning.  Just think this time next month it's a whole new beginning.  You'll crave melba toast...I know I did (love the crunch)  Don't worry about the 10 lbs you have a great outlook.  Diane

Totally understand - I will be the same!  But now, that's over - the funerals have been had, and a new life is beginning!!  Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!

Food funerals can be hard, but they are a good thing.  Better than food resurrections  or food purge-atory

Seriously, however - you are doing great.  Also realize that, ifyou aren't weighing yourself often (not that I recommend doing so, by any means), an increase of ten pounds could have been an increase of only 5 pounds for example,  depending on the day you were weighed as there is a natural fluctuation depending on time of day, time of month, etc.  I find the key to not stressing when the scale jumps is to know that it's an upward trend, not a blip that raises flags.

ok that was good loved the food Purge-atory Bahahahaaha resurections lol

Each scale can weigh differently, so it may not be a true weight gain.  Okay, that was the positive spin on the food funerals.  LOL

All the best as you start Optifast.  Keep us posted on how you do with it.

Your smart for not buying a scale.. I really should have smashed mine b4 surgery.. The month b4 optifast I swear i gained like 10-15 lbs.. so 10 in one year is not bad at all.. I had way too many food funerals also.. lol
Good luck with the optifast!

Food funerals - that's a good one!
Sometimes your tastes will change and there will be some food births too.

Cheers!!!
