I’m officially pissed at the scale! Nov 1st so today is when I see how I did last month. Of course today is when I would have a massive gain. And for no reason! Ok so it’s probably the carbs and all the activity (fluid to muscles, swelling etc). The pizza to be exact. I had planned a soup and salad dinner but the place was packed and we didn’t have time to wait an hour. 😭
I still don’t really get the whole slowly drop two pounds then put it right back on over one night. And of course keep doing that with the same few pounds.
I realized the other day that my activity tracker still had my weight set for 139.2 so it couldn’t have been very accurate the last few weeks. However I’m still losing more than I should be based on IN/OUT. Can’t complain there. I know what to do to drop some more but man, I don’t want to be that hungry constantly over the next few weeks! We have games starting this weekend so will probably have to eat out or get concession food. No outside food allowed and it’s kinda obvious when you take a lunch box or are eating a sandwich lol.
Anywho, 130.4 means a 2# loss instead of the 3-3 1/2# loss I was expecting from previous scale numbers, my food choices and my exercise and activities lately. Disappointing. That Halloween candy is looking mighty good at the moment! However hubby forgot to mention that he will be gone, like over night gone. So my meal plans for the rest of this week is fubared. I refuse to have anything until I get that sorted. I’ll endulge in times like this but I know me and if I gorge I will feel bad later and even up going hungry to even out my numbers for the week. That’s super hard to do when others are eating and I’m surrounded by food while having to sit around (watching games). I’m told my tummy growling is distracting 🙄. Time to make a plan and decide what I’ll eat and how much of that candy lol.

I know the numbers can be disappointing with water gain, but you're doing great! Don't let the scale bully you. You got this!

So you think it is the water from carbs, activity and maybe swelling? I do tend to swell the more active I am until about 3 months post surgery. It’s been just over a month lol. Either way I’m still gonna call my scale bad names lol. It’s so much easier mentally to do that than obsess over why I gained and questioning everything. I’m 130.8 at this very moment. So I’m guessing if I don’t eat I’ll have a pound loss. If I do eat dinner then the same or maybe a tiny drop. Day to day doesn’t bother be but I still don’t understand all the ups and downs all the time. Weekly and monthly numbers are what I focus on mostly. Still down 2# but I was hoping for 3-5#.

you can eat less Cal's and not be hungry. just make better decisions. 500 Cal's of pizza will be less satisfying then 300 Cal's of good ol mixed veg. not as much fun to eat though.. nothing you don't know.
last few days with Halloween IV seen so many people "indulge" in awesome tasting food and it's reinforced it in me what my goals are.
I cant have a piece of cake here or their, a slice of pizza occasionally and get the results I want. people say I should relax and eat some chocolate.... those people don't have visible abs lol

I was that way for the first 3 months. I just couldn’t do it anymore. I was always angry. My family sabotaged my diet continually (hubby would make dinner, if log it then he’d say oh yeah, I added this and that to yours, that’s fine right? No, adding 200 calories to my meal is NOT ok lol) and always wanting to eat out. I became resentful. I’m not a veggie person. I can add some in but I love carbs and I love meat. I actually feel sick if I don’t have meat every few days. I’ve learned now that it doesn’t have to be beef like I thought. I can just eat a ton of chicken and be okay. Beef is best though for some reason. I do much better dieting when I can have my treats. Pizza about once a month. Well then the leftovers one meal after that lol. I do better when I can have that snickers or those mints. Normally on Halloween I would’ve been having a piece of candy every time I turned around. Know how much I’ve had this year? Two 3 musketeers minis! That’s it! I’ve had my protein bars and my gobstoppers but haven’t felt the need to raid all the candy. I do plan to splurge but I don’t need to and don’t want to do it right now. I’m waiting for a low calorie day ;).

Also... I’m losing the same now on 1500-1600 per day while eating pizza, the occasionally donut, candy etc that I was losing at 1200-1400 a few months ago. I think my metabolism went to crap when I went from gaining weight quickly to 1200/day with no treats and super restrictive.
And I do make decent choices mostly ;). I’m honest in my log. I don’t count Splenda and the occasional hard mint or gum. I just don’t have enough to matter. Maybe one mint per week and 1-2 pieces of gum per month. I obviously don’t track the tiny bites of the kids food that they feed me. I just take the tiniest bite I possibly can lol. Unless it’s something I know I can log accurately like a bite of chicken or a chip. I have much more variety in my diet now too. Good for my mood, taste buds and vitamins :). I will have to cut back at some point though. Just can’t decide if I want to do it this winter or wait for spring when I’ll be more active. And no, I don’t have abs showing lol. Some days I can see a faint indent between the top and middle ones but that’s it. I’m not sure I want to do the work for abs especially with my lower back and hip issues. And yes, I do have chocolate lol. I have better control when I plan on snacks vs cutting them out completely ;). I admire your self control!

Chicken is great👌
It would be harder for you then me as I only have myself to worry about (even when I was with the ex if she didn't want to eat what I cooked she had to fend for herself, if she cooked something I wouldnt eat it went to the dogs)
My diet is not about self control, self control makes it sound like I feel like I'm missing out. 99% of the time I don't. Most of the time looking at someone eat a meat pie,or a chocolate bar in the morning makes me feel more sad for them then me missing out.
I'll be honest though the bacon and eggs got me this morning. But bacon and eggs is not what I do for breakfast so I stayed strong.
I have no long term goal at the moment, afew short term goals(mt Kinabalu and ninja warrior)
If I did start a bulk cycle my diet would be drastically different from the big boys on here.
Don't be to hard on yourself though mate your progress in the short time I have known you is beyond inspiring. Your a tops chick who has alotvof hurdles but you get over all of them!

Aww thanks! THAT is what I’ve been missing from hubby lol.
What would your bulk look like? Huge bowls of tuna rice and veggies over the normal bowls now? More veggies and fruits?
I’m considering maintaining for now then cutting. Once I get to say 110-120 then I’d bulk to gain muscle. This is just an idea, not my plan ;). As much as I’d love to have a lot of pizza, candy and donuts while bulking/building muscle, I also know that this would start my bad habits up again. I could add in maybe a candy bar per day but that’s it. I couldn’t do like some and eat 3000-5000 kcal. Then again my maintenance is probably 1750ish and theirs is probably 4K lol.

My bulk would like you said probably consist of more of the same, not in larger servings but more servings probably.
Would probably also swap my protein powder out to a bulking powder or meal replacement style powder for increased cals.
Wouldn't see me eat a cake or pizza or any of that gear though. Would do a clean bulk as much as possible. I can power down tuna all day lol

Is that much tuna good for you? I’m only supposed to have one can a week. That’s what they told me when pregnant and again during chemo. I have two at a sitting now lol. Usually just a couple times a month though.

IV been eating 14 cans a week for about 104 weeks now hahaha. Nothings fallen off except the weight.
I really don't believe anything I read when it comes to "this is bad for you" it's all marketing 99% of the time. Any result you want can be bought because any result can be skewed to fit your agenda
Sad reality of life. People who farm chicken meat will buy a result saying fish is no good for you to sell more chicken breast. Then the fish industry will buy a result saying eggs will cause you cancer.
Then there is the war between lamb and pork.....
Truth be told I don't buy into any of it. As long as I don't consume "empty calories" I'm happy with what I eat.
Empty calories are foods that have little nutritional value, chocolate...cake...chips... Softdrinks....
I need bang for buck with all calories. It's not hard and my diet does not suffer you can make really nutritional healthy desserts using weetbix fruit protein and a blender.
