Gaining Weight...
Hey everybody. I'm getting close to meeting with my surgeon this coming month and I have seen my dietitian for the last time last week. I won't be seeing her til after surgery. When I weighed in with her I have gain a few pounds since the last time I saw her which was in December. I exercise about 4 times a week. My jeans are getting bigger on me so i'm not sure if i'm gaining weight or muscle. I'm just anxious about having gained weight and possibly not being able to have surgery. Any advice?
Gaining weight is gaining weight. You may be all gaining muscles..but overall..gain is a gain..
Muscles take less space..but to gain muscles ~ you need to eat more than you burn.
i eat right and exercise. My pants fit me better..I am gaining muscles...but i am not losing or gaining weight.
Just because i am getting smaller does not mean that i am not still 8 lbs above what i need to be...
I am very good in fooling myself...

People always wonder if they are gaining muscle, but it's just a rationalization. It is much, much harder to gain muscle than people think.
It is very, very easy to gain water or fat.
