Down in the Dumps. . .Up at the Scales
So. . .for the last two weeks, at my WW weigh ins, I have gotten + instead of -. That means GAIN weight instead of lose. Booooooo!!! I am really frustrated because last week I expected it, because I hadn't worked very hard. This week, I did work hard, and gained anyway. I am feeling like I may as well just accept the fact that I will never be a thin person. I'm going to be fat forever. I am so angry and sad that I don't know what to do. What would I tell someone else in my position? All of the cliched things that you say when you want to be supportive. How much would that help? None. Nothing will make me less sad about it right now. I decided today that I am going to walk in a half marathon in January. I am not ready to run one, although I have been running a lot lately. My friend, L., is going to walk it, so I am going to walk with her. I am trying to think about that right now instead of the fact that there is cookie dough in my freezer and I should just go eat every damn bit of it!

That happens to me so often. I think I've been really good, running a lot and eating well, then the scale says otherwise. Sometimes I think my body is just rebelling and saying, "I put this fat here for a reason! It's staying!"
Have you heard about the way to "jump start" your metabolism? I think it was started at Weight Watchers. The theory is that your metabolism is like a fire. If you limit its fuel (food) for too long, the fire slows down. This is why people get stuck and can't lose that last 5 lbs. So to maintain a higher metabolism, it's recommended that if you find you're stuck at a certain weight, to take a slight break from the diet (add some fuel). Slight is key: instead of 1500 calories/day, try 1900 for 1 or 2 days. Not 3000! That's where I run into trouble! Eating a 2-lb bag of M&Ms isn't what they mean!
