Eugh, I've gained

Weigh day yesterday and I've gained 1 lb. It's small in the grand scheme of things but the emotions I felt when I found out were all over the place:
  1. Does this mean it's not working after all?
  2. Is this a slippery slope back to where I was?
  3. Did I eat too much, despite being in my points?
  4. Did I do something wrong/mis-calculate?
I was really upset but I have no choice so I just decided to up my game. I'll have a low week and go ten below my points every day and exercise more. I'll also not have bread as even though I counted it, I had a lot of bread last week. Apparently eating up to your points everyday makes no difference at all, it just means the diet is more do-able but I just need to have a tough week to get back on track otherwise this is going to take forever!

I also went and bought some fancy electric scales to make sure I am measuring everything 100%. I tested them against my old ones and I was 25g out on the last thing I measured so hopefully this will make a difference. 

Also consoling self with the fact that I've still lost an average of 2lbs a week, which was my target anyway.

Have fun and stay skinny (I'm trying!!)

  1. I put a pound on too... however, I put mine down to the fact I've not followed my plan properly... however, I'm back on the wagon now!
