Frustrated
Apr 07, 2015
I can't seem to get out of the 200's. I seem to hover between 208-210. I've been killing myself the last 3 weeks doing Beach Body's "21 Day Fix" workout program and I haven't made any progress. People say that increased exercise causes you to gain weight or maintain weight for a while but it's been over 3 weeks. The inflammation and water retention can't last forever. I mean seriously. I want to be at my goal weight by my 1 year surgiversary but that means I'd have to lose 7-8 per month for 4 months to make that happen. I just don't see it happening. I miss the early days when I was dropping 3 lbs every week and the fat was just melting away. *sigh* I wish the honeymoon period lasted longer. Now I feel like I did back before surgery when I had to and kick and struggle for every pound. The only difference is I don't get as hungry. But even my nutrition has had some slips here and there. I miss FOOD! And I also miss alcohol! I've been doing my best to keep to the plan but it's getting harder and harder to avoid snacks. I still have not had any pizza, bread, pasta, rice, french fries, etc. I have however had fried foods such as chicken wings and fried chicken. Not a lot obviously. Just in moderation. But it's something that I need to stop completely until I get to goal. Then I can have things in moderation. I'm still losing weight. I'm just losing it very slowly. I've only lost about 16 lbs in the last 3 months. Even though there's been weight loss all 3 months, it came off in a yo-yo fashion. I'd go down 3 lbs, fluctuate up 2 lbs. Down 1 lb, fluctuate up 1 lb. It's exhausting! I've lost nothing so far in April. In fact, I've fluctuated up 2 lbs AGAIN!. It's just frustrating me to tears.
Just a rant. Needed to get it off my chest.
