Another Tragic Gain

I don't know how happened - but it did, and now I gotta pay for it.

I went to doc yesterday. Since my new diet strategy, I've been feeling pretty good about my body. (Imagine that). Seriously though - I have been working out more consistently and eating pretty healthy - or at least I thought...

According to HIS scale - I weigh more than I have ever weighed in my whole life! (Except, of course, during pregnancy.) I couldn't believe it. I thought for sure it was his scale, because you know the scales at the doc's office are probably more accurate than we'd like to believe always 5 lbs over what they should be! So, I get home, get my scale out...yup, I gained 5 more lbs. on top of the 15 10 I've been struggling to lose forEVer.

So much for my new diet strategy.

So, it's back to WW, back to measuring EVERYthing I even THINK about eating, and back to counting points. Ugh.

To keep myself accountable to you all: I'm going to record my pts. on the sidebar every night. Really, I am.

BUT, the scale goes back to the closet. Till I KNOW I've lost enough to wanna look!

A Note to: Nurse Confront Me When I Least Expect It, and Dr. Send Me Into a State of Wanting to Kill Myself,
How important is it for you all to know how much I weigh? Seriously.

Scales/points/mid-30s weight gains suck monkey sweat.

I hear you! I don't want to have to always worry about what I eat...I hate that feeling, but I guess it's my fate.

I wonder if your weight gain if from muscle since you've been exercising more? That could explain it.

Corinne: Even if I didn't own one, it seems as if the doc would be happy to fill in!

Deb: yeah - mid 30's - just a wonderful time for our metabolisms huh? I was thinking the same thing re: muscle mass, but I would just continue to live in denial knowing the Banana Cream Pie I indulged in a couple weeks ago and the salsa and chips I spoiled my appetite with last Friday might have something to do with it! Thanks for the vote of confidence anyhow:-)

Uch -- the SAME thing happened to me when I went for my annual last week. I'm tellin' ya, THAT's why I don't own a scale. I'm much happier when I don't know. (I knew I was gaining, but SHEESH -- the heaviest in my life too .. aside from prego months.)

I was told it was hormonal. Yay.

Hang in there -- hope you're having a WAAAY better Mom's Day!

MP: I know, I swear to Gawd - next time I'm at the dr's office, I'm not lookin' and I'm going to ask them to not reveal the results.

Hormones - I hate my hormones - I wish I could trade them in for some younger ones...

Hope you had a good Mother's Day too!
