Official Weigh-In~Week Two

Last weigh in 3/8/10: 172.0
Today's weight 10/17/10: 173.8

So, I'm up 1.8 lbs. :(


I'm kind of freaked out that IF isn't going to work for me now but my other thought is that weight is a funny/cruel thing and that it will bounce around. I know sometimes it takes a long time for losses to show up on the scale. That's kind of what I was expecting in the beginning-slow losses and not much to show up on the scale but then I got down to 171.8 and felt like I was making such progress that it's hard to watch it go back up. Hopefully it's just temporary. It seems like that happens to me a lot. I try something and the first week my weight goes down only to rebound and go back up. I'm not sure if it would go back down because I usually freak out and give up. This time I'm going to stick with it and give it a chance because I believe in IF. I'm getting used to my IF schedule and most of the time it's pretty easy. This kind of setback really brings out the fear in me that nothing will ever work but I'm going to try to keep going and be patient. Maybe I should only weigh once a month? I will think about it. I did do a couple things that might have gotten me off track. Last weekend I switched weekend days around. It should have been eat Saturday and fast Sunday but I wanted to be able to eat with my family Sunday and so I switched the days. That means I had two eating days in a row. I also ate during my fasting period one day. Not much, it was like a couple of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. I don't usually do that but it's life, sometimes it's gonna happen. I hope this doesn't mean I have to give up my half and half. I'll wait and see what happens.
