my second day!

[doorsfan333]

I need lots of encouragement. I'm really hoping this diet works for me.. I've recently been really depressed about my weight.. I thought I was comfortable with it but i'm tired of being chubby. I work out 4 days a week and ea right but I can never seem to lose weight but gain it. I eat 4-5 small meals a day too..I think i have a stubborn metabolism and no other diets have worked for me. I end up gaining weight! =( Yesterday I was at 145.. I just weighed myself and I am 141, perhaps because I haven't eaten yet. This morning I was late to class so I've been on an empty stomach for 3 hrs until now! My jaws are sore from chewing so much meat hahah. Oh and I am also on my menstrual cycle which is totally killing me because I'm craving chocolate SOO bad. ahah and I'm bloated which feels like I'm gaining weight =(. Thanks for listening!

Re: my second day!

hi - welcome to our ADBB family

How long have you been on induction?

Many of us find that around 'that time of the month' we feel bloated and crave chocolate, so you are not alone

Re: my second day!

Try not to weigh yourself daily or multiple times a day...you'll become discouraged. Your weight fluctuates by pounds daily. Could you try weighing yourself only once a week at the end of the week? Chin up!

Re: my second day!

That sounds like a good idea.. I'm so addicted to the scale! =( haha thank you

Re: my second day!

Congrats on the 4lbs thats great.

I totally understand the scale addiction, I used to step on it when I woke up, after I ate, and after visiting the restroom. I finally had to put it up, it was controlling my mood, not just telling me how much I had lost.

Re: my second day!

I too have been fluctuating like crazy but its true the scale is only reliable once a day or better yet once a week. I restarted 2 days ago and already I am back down 3 so hang in there and drink TONNES of water!!
