Back On Track Together

So I went out to eat yesterday and planned ahead and did fine. I had 814 calories for the day whi*****lude 78 grams protein and 23 grams of carbs. So today I weighed in as I have been keeping my carbs under 20 to lose the regain and I gained a pound since yesterday. I am not one to bounce up and down. when I am losing I am either losing or staying the same. My point is not just to complain, but to figure out what I did wrong. My food is clean I didn't eat anything I wasn't suppose to. The restaurant always accommodates my numerous requests with how to cook the food. Is my weight so fragile that I can't go 5 grams over in carbs without a gain? Just feeling really frustrated, but I will get over it.
Sorry positing so late, but just got home. Some snow again in NY, but not too much. Did a lot of walking yesterday and am kinda of stiff today. That tells me I have not been moving enough. Woke up feeling uneasy. Don't know why, but was committed to not eating to make the discomfort go away. Watch out for an early lunch/dinner due to the weather.
B-omelete with peppers
L/D- Sea bass with broccoli always have enough for two meals.
S- I am still full from dinner. I had a cup of tea for dessert and think it was too soon after I ate maybe 20 minutes. Still feeling full restriction 2 hours later.
Hope everyone is having a healthy day.
I've had my breakfast and lunch even though lunch came early. i still want to eat but keep telling myself there is no excuse to do it. I'm full and do not need food. I was actually feeling hungry and it wasn't need for liquids because I had been sipping on water So I ate my egg and ricotta (which is very good by the way with some pepper) I ate the entire egg. Because I was hungry, I ate to quickly and finished the whole egg, Now I'm stuffed full. When I mix the egg with ricotta I shouldn't be able to eat the entire egg and probably should have stopped half way through. My head is still hungry but my tummy is not. I'm going to be struggling until I can start drinking the water again. I usually drink between a half hour and an hour after I eat. Is that to soon? My NUT said 20 min but I usually get sick if I drink that quickly but get thirsty about a half hour after eating. (unless I over eat then it's usually more than an hour) I am bummed I ate at 11 am when I usually don't do lunch until about 2:30. UGH. I'm not sure why I still want to eat, I'm not sure what's going on with my body. I need to stay focused. I can't screw up this day. I need to get more on track and I need to prove to myself that I'm stronger than the hold food has on me. Help guys, I want to eat and I can't possibly still be hungry!!!
Today I am having a tiny tummy day so it shouldn't be hard to only get a few hundred calories. I'm determined to stick to my eating goals for today; however, I'm far from getting in my protien for the day. Ugh I'm doing good with my water today. I drank 2-3 cups before I even started my coffee and the more water I drink the less I want my coffee. It tastes funny to me when I'm drinking water and I just don't want it. I'm going to have some salad for lunch with chunks of ham in it and walnut raspberry vinegrette Yum. Dinner I'm going to have 2 oz of Ham if I can handle it but Not going to stuff myself just to get the 2 oz is. I will have cocoa wheats with sugar free vanilla syrup to sweeten it. Man do I love that stuff and it fills me up so good. I stay full for the rest of the night. I may add an egg in there but I'm not sure. Or maybe a cup of skim milk. I don't know. I have to work on mindless eating so today I'm going to try to focus on that too. I am almost two years out and still do not get hungry with the exception of when I eat toast so I have no reason to eat besides what I have planned out. Boredom eating is killing my plan. SO I'm going to promise myself that I will only eat what's on my plan for the day. That's it not a thing more.
Hugs everyone Hope you are all staying warm.
Have a happy healthy day.
I'm so scared not to weigh myself for fear of gaining but I will try not to weigh for a week and see how it feels and how I do because you nailed it. That scale and I have a love hate relationship. I love to weigh but hate the numbers. It's like I expect to wake up one morning and be down 10 lbs lol. When I lost weight on my own I didn't have a scale and would go to my moms once a week to weigh. I found that it worked better because I would actually see loss instead of this crap of ups and downs and never remembering my starting weight for the week.
I've been working on getting my water in and so far so good. I'm getting about 4 cups or more a day in these days. Thank goodness. Before I really start waking up in the morning I drink about 2 cups of water then at night I drink another 2 cups. It's better than nothing I suppose but want to get back in the habit. The funny thing is that when I start my day off with water the coffee just doesn't taste as good to me and I crave the water. As a matter of fact I'm working on my 3rd cup this morning and it's only 8 am. Now keep in mind I've been awake since 4:30 but still!!! The coffee just doesn't taste the same.
I am having a small tummy day so I'm going to focus on not eating out of boredom. I have to figure something out I can do with my time when I'm bored so I'm not obsessing over food. I really need to start sewing or painting... something!!! I'm going to have a zillion paintings done by the time this winter is over lol.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful day. Hugs

When I got back on track after a length of time, I felt overwhelmed. I broke it down into small chunks. One of mine was grazing. After a few failed attempts, I decided not to graze for four days a week. After I handled four days a week, I added a fifth day and progressed to the entire seven days.
What about if you got back on track in a staggered way as in moderation on a few days and then back on track the other days? Would that work for you?
Could you not weigh for a period of times. The numbers made me bonkers. It might be easier if you didn't know the numbers. Just my $.02.
