Today I went to my WW meeting and guess what???? So did you guess??? Well, I was up... ahhhhhhhh.... but only .4 not that bad the thing is I have never been up during this process always, always down... so how do I look at this ????? Should I wallow ? Should I blame something or someone? Should I be pissed at myself? I dont think so... What I did is reflect on last week. I honestly looked at what I did different... I asked myself... did you eat bad food? No..
Did you not exercise? No... Did you drink all your water? I think so... So I asked myself what happened? I came up with this: I found that I was grabbing snacks.. at work.. you know a handful here and there.. not a big deal BUT they are salty and salty snacks retain water.. ok I can take care of that.. my plan.. Tell the kids if you see Miss Linda eating your snacks tell her NO!! They will love it... I also have been weight lifting for about the last 4 weeks and that change can make your metablolism do wierd things till it realizes hmmm this is going to keep going on.. so with that my plan this week is to be MORE aware of all that goes in my mouth.... I am going to practice the plan H.A.L.T. which means... before I eat I will ask myself this:
H- Hungry? A-Angry? L-Lonely? T-Tired? if the answer is yes I am really hungry then I will eat something healthy if I answer yes to any of the others then I need to drink a BIG glass of water... I will also eat lots more fresh fruit and veges.... just get back on track... so with that I am thinking positive and NOT negative. I have decided to learn from this and move on and kick some BIG LBS next week.. so I will let you know how it goes... till next time.

You do know that being up .4 means a whole lot of nothing, except that you might have just had poop in your system still that just needed to come out right? No really, it can weigh up to 2 pounds in some people, so it is all realative. Anything less then a pound should be considered as if you stayed the same, just so that you can keep yourself in check and NOT obsess over anything...just my two cents! I have had to learn myself that even in "weight loss mode" that being up less then a pound has to mean staying the same unless it is for several weeks in a row that results in a 2-3 pound gain. So "kicking it into high gear" over a .4 gain, in my humble opinion sounds like you could be heading down a path or opening a can of worms that I KNOW you don't want to, so don't go there...which then this also has to be said, DON"T comment on my opinion on it, b/c you want honesty from those who care about you, really chew on it before you accept it or dismiss it.
I am NOT going let the kids tell you that you can't eat something by the way...REASON: I don't want them, especially the girls to think that someone else has control over your eating or that someone else has the right to tell you what you should or should not eat, that is not a healthy way to look at food for them to learn, nor for yourself.
I was hoping when I started to read this that your "lesson" was going to go down the path of..."okay, I am not going to obsess", not "I am going to kick it into weight loss gear for next week"...b/c for you, that is where I would see growth, not on the scale and I think that we both know that is what makes this about a lifestyle and not a diet...it becomes a "diet" when you start to think that way!
Just me two cents!
Love ya!

Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired... are typical triggers to watch for. Not only will being aware of these feelings help you identify if you are eating because of them, but it will help you identify when you are having them and then you can look deeper into why you are having them. Getting to the root of these feelings will be very beneficial.
