get back to my prepregnancy weight, since my son was born in 2000, so I've clearly been carrying these extra pounds for far too long (read all 52 entries…)
March was discouraging 8 months ago

I’m really starting to wonder if it’s possible for me to lose more weight. When I started to actually focus on this goal, I lost about half the weight I wanted to lose, then hit a wall. It’s probably been about a year now (?) that I’ve stayed at essentially the same weight. I lose and gain the same 3 pounds over and over and over and over.

I am exercising, and I don’t think my food/drink intake is that bad. But clearly, I must somehow be taking in more calories than I think I am. The thing is, though, I already feel like I’m very careful and aware of what I eat. So I’m really questioning whether I can, or am willing to, change my eating habits significantly enough to cause more weight loss.

Maybe I am just going to always be chubby.

I continued to weigh myself daily in March, and the news isn’t devastating. I went up less than a pound, but for the first time the monthly average included post-breakfast weights. Before I’d discarded those when finding my average weight, but I decided not to bother to do that anymore. Also, I note the highest weight of the month, and March’s highest was exactly the same as February’s highest. So that was reassuring.

However, the end of the month’s weights were consistently above the average weight from last month. That’s what was discouraging.

Off to weigh myself for the first time in April now.

I'm so pathetic

I keep taking pregnancy tests. Because surely there’s some reason I keep gaining weight.

and surely it’s not all those cookies I eat. they wouldn’t betray a good friend like that…

being pregnant would be a good thing? :)

no no no no.

but blaming something out of my control for weight gain? kind of nice.
