crap!!

That's what i ate like yesterday and needed to get it off my chest. And seriously the first time i eat crap in like a week and the scale jumps up 3 pounds from yesterday. I know i couldn't of gained 3 pounds based on what i ate but it still shows me doesnt it! Also i'm really going to try to only weigh myself once a week, but i just love my new scale! Anyone else be bad, or am i the only one who fell victim to BBQs galore?

I went away for the weekend to the beach and was completely off my 'normal eating'... we were with my BFs fam so I had to go along with what was going on and we ate out quite a bit... I could feel yesterday that I was bloated and my shorts were tight... came up and the scale shows I am up 3 pounds as well - I know its due to a lot of salt from resturant eating as well as more sugar than normal (drinks and what not) and within a week or so the scale will drop back down. I personally didnt eat any BBQ because we were by the beach it was mostly sea food, fried foods, pizza, burgers etc (bar food).. no BBQ in the little town we stayed in! I didnt even eat that much food and Im sure my body was not happy about not getting its set meal/snacks! Id give yourself 3-5 days or so and the scale should go back down... it could take you longer, just depends on your body. I know for me this will stick around a few days then slowly go away pound by pound... additional salt in my diet always kills me.

The beach sounds super fun, i bet you had a blast! A wild weekend every once in a while won't kill us! It's things like going to the Beach that i absolutely love now that before surgery i would of been so embarassed to be seen by anyone. I hope you had a great weekend and i know the scale will drop once i get back to exercising today and keeping my diet in line : )

I am a big proponent of weight once per week, tops. Personally, I weigh every Monday, as I had my WLS on a Monday...so I always know how many weeks out.  Yesterday was 92 weeks post-op for me. 92 weeks / 112 lbs.  I'd like to hit my goal, 125 lbs., in 100 weeks.  So 13 more lbs. in 8 weeks.  I got my work cut out for me.

I think you can do it :) Go brock!

Thanks.  I just bought a new bicycle, and am watching my diet closely.  So I'm really gonna try during this stretch run. I'm at: 112 lbs. after 92 weeks (1 3/4 years) I'd like to get to: 120 lbs. lost by 100 weeks (7/21/08) 125 lbs (goal) by 2-year-surgiversay (8/21/08)

Reese I am guilty as charged. I ate like I have never eaten before. It hurt my stomach but I still did it. It did taste very good. I went up 3 pounds as well. Oh well! We are allowed to eat like that once in a while, right? ~Diana~

We definitely are allowed in my book! It sounds like there was a 3 pound curse this weekend, you, me and Jennifer!

It happens.  I go through phases.  Sometimes I am uber strict about food - other times I get off track - and right now I'm coasting in the middle.  As long as you're paying attention and trying I wouldn't be too concerned.

You're so right, i am happy and living life right now and i just don't feel like it's something to wrack my brain with at this current time : )
