Unbelievable results

You may have noticed that I changed the 70 to the left to 71. I don't know how it happened, but I actually gained weight this week.

What is happening to me?

I don't know what is going on, but the scale did say 71 two days in a row. Yes, I am at the end of my TOM and that could contribute to some of it, but a whole kilo? I looked at my calorie count from this week and I went over 1500 only 2 days, Friday and Saturday. Although I did much better this weekend than last, I still struggled with eating more on my off days than during the week.

Another reason I had a horrific week was the heat. We had 4 days of over 40C in a row. Now that is just wrong. I can't handle heat very well. I did go for a walk on Saturday and when I came home thought I was going to die from heat exhaustion.

Not good at all.

I almost declared this week a no-weigh week due to my TOM but have decided to take it as it comes.

So I weigh 71 today. Excuse my language but that number really scares the shit out of me.

I fear I am experiencing a major relapse.

My psychologist spoke to me in great detail about relapses and how normal they are when anyone makes major changes in their life, especially when it comes to weight-loss.

It doesn't make it any easier to accept.

In other news, I almost successfully followed 1 day on the WW no count plan. Almost.

Nowhere to go from here but down? Damn lets hope so.

And finally a queston: Is it just me or do the swirls on this dress make my bum look like the side of a bus?

a family affair

No your dress doesn't make you look the size of a bus! You look fantastic. I hope you find your 1 kilo gain is a minor fluctuation. Hang in there I know gains suck! I'm up from last year by 40 lbs. YIKES, I need to get back to WW also.

I love your dress! You look gorgeous!

Don't get discourage by 1 kilo now. You've come such a long way. Be proud and persevere!

Also, since weekends tend to be more problematic than weekdays, when you are probably more busy, maybe finding a weekend activity or hobby would help you find something to focus on and take your mind away from food or dieting or whatever. I don't know your lifestyle, but that's whay I'd do.

Stay positive!

hey sweety! I just have ot say that I know how hard yesterday's entry would have been for you to write. I am so proud of you and want you to know that you ARE one beautiful, beautiful woman and noone can take that away from you now. You don't need to hide how gorgeous you are anymoreto protect yourself and you don't need to sabotage your efforts to hide your fine self!!!!!!!!!!!! you have swapped the "fat" for a massive community of believers and supporters, myself included, and that wonderful husband of yours has done his part too in healing you. One kilo is perhaps all that emotional baggage that you just shared with us! I'm with Argy - big hugs sweety. Big hugs.

You mentioned before you are on Prozac now. Doesn't that have a side-effect of weight gain in some people?

I think the dress is cute on you. I was surprised when I saw that picture. I don't know what 70 kilo is in pounds but I expected someone a lot bigger than.
Belladora said…
That dress totally flatters you!

Hang in there...weight loss is all about the ups and downs and sometimes our bodies just don't cooperate...but it'll come back off, no worries:)

I think you look fabulous in that dress! It's a really cute dress, too, so that doesn't hurt, but it fits you so well. I wouldn't sweat the 1k if you know you're making the right choices.

That is a fab dress and you look gorgeous!

When I only weighed myself weekly, I used to prefer Fridays which gave me some recovery time from any bad weekend eating. Of course, I now weigh myself everyday... Just because I'm neurotic.
Sooz said…
Yep, it's just you! ;-)
The dress looks terrific. Trust me. If I didnt think so, I wouldn't comment. *wink*

1 kilo can definately be attributed to a bit of water retention honey.

It *is* just you- you look GREAT!!

That dress doesn't make you look fat at all, so you must be doing well. Most people would look enormous in that type of design, let me tell you!

You look great! I don't know how much 71 kilos is, either, do you know what that is in pounds?

Just found your blog, am enjoying it!

I just converted 71 kilos to lbs -- it is supposed to be 154 lbs.

I am 90 kilos (200 lbs.) and 5 feet 11 inches tall. Just sayin'.

You look awesome in that dress! (I would do anything to have a shapely bum that fits my figure like yours does for you) Again you look amazing.

A trip down memory lane

Hello to all of you all of you coming via Michele , thanks for stopping by and I only hope it was worth the trip over. I began reading through the questions on the Slimmer of The Year application today. Of course there are so many things I want to include, but I can't possibly write everything I want to or they will be getting a novel. When I started thinking of how long I have been overweight and the reasons I struggled for so long with food and weight issues a lot of memories came back to me. I've been challanged by my weight for most of my life. Granted some of that time I only thought I was fat when I really wasn't. The point is that I have been fat inside my head for as long as I can remember. One of the most shameful and embarrassing moments was when I was 15 and some of the boys in my class thought it was funny to sing "thunder, thunder, thunder thighs hooooooo!" when they saw me coming to the tune of the cartoon "Thunder Cats." That experie...

Not working

I don't know where to begin. I didn't even want to post. My instinct tells me that because I don't want to, it may be the best thing to do. I haven't weighed myself, but I've had a few very bad days. I went out on Friday night and drank an unknown amount of gin and tonics and then I ate almost a whole bag of kettle chips yesterday. I put on a pair of my size 12 jeans that should fit and are too tight last night. Damnit! I have a lot of cute clothes that I cant go anywhere near because of about 3 kilos. This 3 kilos is doing a lot to depress me right now. I stopped tracking my calories because I don't even know how much alcohol I consumed on Friday night and who wants to know how many calories and fat are in an entire bag of chips? Not only do I feel like shit, but I can't seem to motivate myself either. I know that the way I am feeling is not new and I will work through it, but right now it feels pretty much like a death sentence. It is not that I don...

Double your pleasure, double your fun...

Halfway through I do switch gears and talk about weight-loss once again [begin political rant] Recently I went out with one of my aussie female friends on a night where she was meeting up with a guy she had met on one of the match websites. That night I did happen to partake in a few too many drinks due to the price of one of my favorite bottled beers being only $4 compared to $7 or even $8 in some places. The man she met happened to be very nice, and I enjoyed speaking to him, but he had a friend with him who was with a female the likes of which I refer to as "granola". You know the kind. I don't like to contribute to stereotypes, but I hope the term "granola" is not in the least offensive to any of my readers. I like; it is good with some honey and milk. Anyway to get to the point the man friend and ms. granola appeared to not like me and it became increasingly clear why. With every comment I made about anything they seem to have the exact opposite opinio...
