Yikes.

I wonder if there's a world record for amount of weight gained in shortest amount of time.

In about 12 days, I have gone up 15 pounds on the scale.

What.the.hell.

I mean, I'm not surprised that I'm up, I take responsibility that I have been eating horribly, and exercising not at all. While my friends were here, EVERY SINGLE MEAL was a meal out. This just goes to show you how easily it is to slip and fall and totally keep on falling... 15 pounds?!!?

I need a life coach or something. Someone to take on all the crappy things in my life, someone to tell me what to eat, when to eat it, force me to get exercise. I've just become so apathetic.

And to be honest, some of the comments that people leave aren't anything I don't all ready know. Maybe I'm the only one that feels this way, but sometimes I wish people would just say "I'm sorry you've been having a rough time, I hope it gets better soon" instead of being preachy. I'm probably just being sensitive & people aren't REALLY being preachy, but that's what it feels like sometimes. Yeah, I know the formula for weight loss... I know this isn't it... and I know I'm not going to see positive results this way... others telling me that doesn't make it any more clear than it all ready is. I guess maybe misery loves company, you know? Hearing about other people that are struggling is comforting almost. Not that I want others to do badly, but at least then I don't feel like the ONLY one that's a great big failure. Again.

I have become one of those "After such and such, I'll be back on track..." and then I never do. Next thing I know, I'll probably be back up over 300 again. Sure would be nice if life was easier.

I do hope you feel better soon! You have been through a whole lot this year and we can't just sweep those things under the carpet. They have to be acknowledged and dealt with.

I know how you feel, Teale. That has been my pattern for many years...

Thinking of you! I know you'll pick yourself up again.

I've always found that fresh weight is easiest to lose, just give it a few weeks of full commitment and you'll have it gone and back on the losing side of things.

**Hugs** I had a 9.6 pound gain this past week, so I know how you feel. And I've been having trouble keeping on track this week because we have no meeting on Memorial Day and I hate going to meetings that aren't my normal one.

Maybe we can help get each other back on track.

Im sorry to hear that the scale was unkind! but at least you know why, and it isnt "true" pounds, just a lot of water weight and bloating. just eat on plan a few days and youll see that you are back down. and about the comments..I think that is just how some people try to help. we all know that you know what you need to do, and for me, sometimes those reminders help. other times sure, its kind of annoying ot be told something you obviously know, but people are just being kind and want to relate and push you to be your best.

I don't know how much I gained but my pants are soooo tight it's ridiculous!! I've been on a health kick since (right after Nichole and I stopped at Culvers in Michigan for our last taste of American fast food)...

Holy crud! Yikes, indeed! Sorry to hear you're having a hard go with the weight and I do (yes I do) hope it starts turning around for you soon. I can't get under 300. So what am I saying? Umm, let me sit on your shoulders and I'll keep you under the 300 mark ;). Sounds like both you and I need something that just cheers us up! Like cheaper gas prices or better weather. And I hope Sunday goes better for you! (((hugs)))

Ouch. I know how you feel and I know it sucks, big time.
BUT I also know that you have the skills and determination it takes to shake the pounds again... you've done it before, so you can do it again.
Thinking of you!
