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.
