I think you and I are in the same boat. Sucks! I weighed in even though I didn't want to and I didn't even lie, like I wanted to, about my gain. ugh. Here's to a better week this coming week. :)
#4 and #9 are my biggest struggles. I used to work out MORE just so I could keep eating what I was eating. Changing that thinking though!
I have a hard time with recording what I eat because it makes me crazy and I become obsessed and it doesn't feel healthy? Any suggestions?
Maybe instead of writing everything you ate for the day, just give yourself a star (I actually put stickers on the calendar) for the days you feel you did well. I also feel like I'm obsessive when I write down everything I eat. If you only had one serving instead of two, give yourself a star. If you passed up dessert (even though it was tempting), give yourself a star. You can't be totally healthy and change your habits overnight, so reward for good behavior, and improvements, no matter how small or large. Just a suggestion.
I love that idea- thanks!
