Gaining weight is scarey!

OK, I am so MAD at myself. I went and weighed: 3lb gained since Monday. WHAT! Maybe it is due to PMS, but I don't want to use an excuse. I have never been so ruled my numbers. I feel like a complete failure. I know it is due to the fact that I can eat salsa again. I have had salsa for 4 meals/snacks this week. OH, I am going to be my old self again and I am so afraid. I have such a bad habit of eating when I am stressed. Right now all I am is stressed: wedding plans, hating my job, a house guest... I am getting anxious just reading what I have written and I want to eat again. I am going home to work out, but it won't suck 3lbs off my rear-end! Does the idea of weight gain (or the reality of it) get anyone else out there extremely upset? I wish I had another outlet for stress. I hate to exercise, so no one suggest I do that. I do it b/c I am forced to out of guilt. HELP!!! Have a great weekend ya'll!

Kelly, I have seen you not so long ago, and you look GREAT!! It IS scary to gain weight, but those 3 lbs. are probably water weight. We ladies are prone to gain and lose a couple lbs. within a few days. As much as we know this happens, it still drives us nuts to see those numbers get bigger! Sometimes it happens when we've been really, really good, but when we think we've been even a little "bad", we beat ourselves up. Salsa isn't evil. It's even kind of healthy. It's not like you're eating donuts or something. LOL Give yourself a break, Girl. You are SO stressed out in every aspect of your life right now. You are not going to go back to your old self. Don't be so hard on yourself. Each day gives a chance for a fresh start, so if you have a day when you don't do so well, just do better tomorrow. That's all you CAN do. You have come so far, and should be SO proud of yourself!! Love and hugs, B

Don't freak.....I do that a lot, and when you gain like 1-5lbs, its always water weight. You just need to drink more water and then you will lose it fast. I weighed 157 and then 159 and then today back down to 157, so that is normal. Cheer Up, but good thing you watch it. I just don't buy the "don't weigh every week" thing, I weigh everyday...I want to keep tabs of my weight!! Be Blessed Deb

i just read your profile. i know the pain of losing both parents. i was extremely close to mine (especially my mother) your post made my heart ache. maybe this is why you are eating. can you talk to someone?
