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.
Shannin said…
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...

Weigh-in March 5th

I weighed in at 68.1, and was amazed to discover that I lost 800 grams this week. I've only got just over 5 kilos left to lose before I reach my goal. Like WOW. I mean wow. I am pinching myself. Can you believe this? A weight loss 2 weeks in a row?!?! I mean jeez, imagine what I could do if I got my butt up off the couch and started exercising. I think I owe it all to the Wendie Plan, which by the way I told all my fellow weight watcher' members about today. I tried to tell them anyway, but I couldn't say a whole lot because our leader likes to hog all the air time. It is weird. I've never felt so shut down in a place where we should all be sharing our ideas with each other. Isn't it a support group, not a one-woman-show? Plus she is boring and only talks about the same thing over and over again. I've heard enough about low GI foods, exercising, how her daughter is a dancer, and how good it is to eat protein for breakfast. I would try out a different ...

Butterflies

As some of you may know I love butterflies. I've always liked them, but the fact that the butterfly was once a caterpillar is the most amazing things about them. Right now I feel like a butterfly that has finally been freed from its cocoon. This weekend I gave away another huge load of clothes that don't fit me anymore and I have several bags just waiting to be dropped off at the donation centre. It feels incredible to put on a pair of jeans that once fit snug and now be able to pull them off without unbuttoning them. I've been lucky over the past week in my search for smaller, fashionable clothes at my local Goodwill and Salvation Army. I've found some really good deals and even have a few designer brands, and all are size Au-10, most have even already been altered for someone as short as me, which is an added bonus. Sometimes I have to pinch myself because I think there is no way I fit into a size 10 anything, let alone pants. It is surreal. I have been thinkin...
