    minor panic

    first of all...THANKS to all of you who are supporting me MAJORLY in my challenge to "look hot in my wedding dress." my date is LOOMING. now less than 4 weeks to go. last monday when i posted i was at 156, 1 pound from goal. i am sticking so faithfully to this plan. i am DETERMINED. i am really working the exercise.....i was SURE i'd hit goal by the weekend. well....today i am UP to 158. no TOM, no bad food choices or too much food, i have been the atkins role model kid. i am supposed to be going in the OTHER direction.

    my dress arrives tomorrow. if it does not fit then i am in deep trouble. i can always have it taken in, but not OUT! i am really feeling the panic if NOT having control over what is happening to my body. YES this is my plan for a lifestyle change but all you gals who have been in my shoes KNOW....it is SERIOUS crunch time. i just don't know what else to do. started my first day of vacation today with a crying jag. i NEVER do that. sheesh. it's not like i can even tighten the belt and pull myself up by the bootstraps and restart anything....i am already doing all i can do...THAT is FRUSTRATING. all i can think is "what if?".....i KEEP heading back up the scale?

    thanks for letting me vent and thanks again for all your support,,,i will make that slide into home base! just sure hope sooner rather than later.

      Well said, Emma!

      MS - you know how this goes, girl! That dress has no idea how much you weigh. Do you feel bigger? My guess is no, because you have truly been the Atkins poster child. Stop stressing over the scale number - you're freaking yourself out and you don't need that head game right now.

      Keep up the awesome work that you have been doing all along.

          Don't worry this happens to me too. Like everyone else said remember muscle weighs more than fat, it could be water retention from your TOM or just re-evaluate everything you've been eating for hidden carbs/cheats. Good luck and let us know how the dress fits! I am sure it will fit fine! Congratulate your self on how far you have come, be proud, what a great accomplishment 37 lbs!

            You know that reminds me about the story of Marilyn Bell swimming across Lake Ontario, she swam 20 hours and 55 minutes. At the end of her swim she was 5 pounds heavier then when she started.

            I could not believe it. I used to do a lot of swimming myself and was a member of the swim club at university. Swimming is very exhaustive in the long run. Yet there it was, she gained weight. Of course the weight was temporary (sort of like TOM) perhaps caused by her stenuous effort, it happens to me sometimes too, but ususally I gain only half a pound after a day when I have used up 1500 calories in dieting and exercise. Later, however, the true weight shows.

              Did you keep measurements of yourself? Especially if your goal was to fit into a wedding dress, it would be the inches lost that matter not the pounds lost.

                  Definitly take your measurements. You have been doing Burn IT UP, so you ARE gaining LOTS of muscle - not fat - and slimming down. Your measurements will prove it.

                    DON'T PANIC!

                    Just relax, take a deep breath, decide the scales are possessed by something trying to ruin your day and decide you're not going to let it.

                    You've done everything you can, and I'm convinced the DRESS WILL FIT!.
                    In fact, it will probably need to be taken in. That slim in six really works so go take a relaxing bath and then face up to the squat ****.

                    Sounds like pre-wedding stress is getting to you, so relax and remember how happy you're going to be.

                    We're rooting for you, and it will be fine.

                      If you want - a nice sauna or a sea weed wrap will bring you down in body size for the day too.
