Daily Maintenance Weigh In - Friday 10/19
Today's weight 139.2
Got a medium hike planned for tomorrow, nothing for Sunday. Too chilly for a bike ride, so we'll see. Tomorrow is my daughter's first homecoming dance. She's a junior but was only allowed to start dating last spring so this is the first time she has had a date and wanted to go to the dance. she is beyond excited (to the point of 'will you shut up about homecoming already') but ya gotta love it.
How goes with you guys?

Bummed, up 1.6 lbs from yesterday, and yesterday was up 1.4 lbs from the day before.
I was thrilled last night to find I could finally do my three mile walk again only to find that the scale is going up. I know it must be fluid retention in my abdomen, but I still do not like this trend.
That's really cool about your daughter - are you and hubby gonna do the whole parent picture thing when the young man comes to pick her up?

I remember Mikey Mike said it took him a long time to stop the weight fluctuations due to fluid post-op. You'll be OK. You did NOT gain 3 pounds in two days, and I know you know that.

I can understand how that could be an emotional trigger for you. I have brainstormed a bunch of other options to soothe myself when I feel triggered to emotional eating. Maybe try to plan some in advance for your next visit, since you are aware you might be triggered?
Anyway {{hugs}}

I couldn't of prepared for my rage when I found out he smashed 2 IPADs in 2 weeks, I am still mad, but I realized that he can't come back home ever because he drives me crazy and its not good for me or for him. I hope he can realize all the potential he has. He wants a career in the marines, so I guess he'll be alright in the end. Boo

I hope that your daughter enjoys this special occassion.
Bingeing behaviour and triggers. Oh, how I understand that one! Goodness. Even the thought of one place makes me want to run to the ice-cream store.
Have a good day everyone.
Up from where I like to be, but still in my range, so all is well.
I, too, am struggling with cravings and having done a little off plan eating this week. I know that one trigger is stress and irritation with work situations (not the kids, but the administration BS). Another is I get home in the late afternoon and early evening and want to graze until bedtime. This is unusual behavior for me and I am trying to figure out what's going on. I'm thinking I'm a little out of sorts because my routine was interrupted two/three weeks ago. Anyhow, I'm on it and aware which for me is a huge part of the battle. Will do a more thorough post on the VSG board.
