Weight gain frustration

[5xdisneyfans]

I needed to vent and figure I would reach out here. I am tracking everything I am eating on chronometer. I mean every morsel. I weight and measure everything that goes in my mouth. I hate doing this but really want to shed some weight. I am over weight so it’s not a matter of only having a couple of pounds to lose. I exercise 5 days a week. Friday is my weigh in day and I am up a pound from last week! I have been very strict with everything. Even last night I was a little hungry but only had 35 calories left for the day so I held out and didn’t have anything. Extremely frustrating and having a hard time wanting to stick with it this morning. Realistically I need to lose about 40lbs to even be close to a healthy weight. Thanks for listening.

Weight fluctuates for so many reasons, especially with regular exercise. Keep tracking, keep exercising, and focus on building strength and muscle. If you stay consistent, the scale will eventually have no choice but to move. You’re doing the hard part already. Don’t give up now.

I'll never forget the nutritionist who told me that a 1 pound change in weight was "not clinically significant". She was very firm that what mattered was a trend over time, not a single insignificant finding. You know that you're making good choices. You know that you're exercising. Trust the process and look for the trend. ::hugs::
