I feel like I'm caught in a loop. I lose a little weight, a pound here, a half pound there, then one morning (this morning for instance), I get on the scale and I've gained 2.5 pounds. Now, I know about CICO, so obviously I'm eating too much, but I also know that I did not overeat yesterday. So, I'm already finding myself feeling rather depressed by being isolated for a year and a half now, with no end in sight. And that high jump in weight doesn't make me feel any better, so what I tend to do is self-sabotage, which, of course, creates a real cause for the weight gain and feeds the cycle. I'm not really asking for advice, I know what I need to do, I'm just whining. I'm hoping that by airing my feelings I will feel a little better. And, if I seriously put my mind to it, perhaps this time I'll break the cycle. Because I know so many of you deal with real issues every day and you still manage to stay on plan. And all of you inspire me to try a little harder and do a little better. 💜💛💚

I get it. It happens to me too. I read up on homestatis. The body wants to stay the same. We even self-sabotage by doing something that may take days to show up on the scale or it may show up overnight just due to too many carbs. Glycogen retains water 3:1.

So much of weight loss reflects our moods. It's hard to lose weight when you're feeling discouraged and hard to feel encouraged when you're not losing. It'll come around for you. You've done so well - you'll get back on track. Sending a hug. :-)

I know how that is. just keep positive. I am sure everyone can relate to the weight gain over night. just remember the scale is just a number, if you are doing everything right, just keep it up..

PS - What happened to the girl flirting with the piano man? Pretty sure she's not about that self sabotage life...

I understand how you feel..and that’s just it-same with me. Emotional eaters are about what makes you feel good, and for me it’s the cravings that I know are not good choices, but at the moment satisfy me. Then, I’m on the scales a week later & no surprise…my craving for weight loss starts over!!!!
Just don’t dwell on it, start again.
Remember that no matter how many times you fall down…it’s the getting back up that makes you stronger!!!

Stop eating so much. And stop looking for people to comfort you about you behaviors. Its simple. Be honest with yourself and face your gluttony in the eye.

Understanding your frustration. I think almost all of us can relate to what you said. It's definitely a battle, but I believe consistency will see you through.

Every day is a challenge, and when you're isolated it's easier to let it slide. Stay strong and well my friend. We're here for you.

Please don't weigh yourself everyday. Just stick to your plan and your body will begin to shrink. It takes a while. The skin is stretched-out from gaining weight, so it also has to retract and be tightened-up by doing stretches, pilates, floorwork/abs/squats/flexing. The loose skin also weighs one down if not tightened-up. It will just hang there, deflated. The older we get, the harder it gets to tighten-up and lose weight. Just live the life of your chosen diet/exercise regimen and everything will fall into place in due time...patience. =)

It's so annoying isn't it? Ive been going up and down the same 1.5lb for the past 3 weeks. It's super annoying because I only have 5lb left to lose by October 1st which sounds so easy but if this cycle doesn't change then I won't get to goal. Should I eat more, exercise less? Very discouraging!

You ain't the only one. Sometimes I could be doing really well. And others it'll take a 360 left turn. I could go up 5, 6lbs or more.

You are a warrior. You've got this. No doubt. I relate to that frustration.. (((Hugs)))

Let's focus. I am in the same boat and I am changing things up, going organic high veggie low fat for a change. Gotta drink a lot more water! Maybe you have inflammation that is causing you to retain water? Good luck to us both!
