Vanesa

I gained 1.2 lb this week.
I was happy last week because I was down more than 10 lb. Not anymore. I'm mad and upset. I'm not eating things out of teh program. AT.ALL.
I'm not eating right either. Just don't have teh time or energy to feedmy self. I'm sure DD has nutricious and healthy stuff, adn DH too if his home. But I don't eat what they eat (I don't eat meat). I don't know if my gain it's realated to my period because I don't have AF ever. I know I'm not doing the plan well. I'm hardly eating. Gain 1.2lb?? so no the way I wanted to start the week. I guess instead of seat down here crying I should get up plan a menu and start cooking. But I don't have much stuff around the house, to cook, DH is working now and this evening. I don't knwo when I can go to the store. O gosh I'm so upset.

I am sorry Vanesa. But you know, it's just one week, and today is a new day. Your body will go into starvation mode if you don't eat. Sounds counterintuitive, but you do need to eat to lose. If you starve yourself, your body will start holding on to fat and calories because it thinks it needs to in order to survive.

Go shopping and pick out some tasty but healthy food. I am sure next week will be so much better!

Vanesa, I was totally there last week (also with AF - the b!tch ). I was so down, so I totally know how you feel - especially when you're hungry and feeling deprived, to not see any gain for your sacrefice is so depressing. That said, today is a new day. The slate is wiped clean and it's another opportunity to do right by yourself. And that means eating. Kim is absolutely right that you have to eat to lose, and you have to start making your nutrition as much of a priority as that of your family. You deserve to take care of yourself and to have DH help you do so. And just as an aside, even though he might claim it's so, it wouldn't kill DH and DD to eat vegetarian now and then so you don't have to make two meals.
