I'm hoping you need me and this forum, too.

It is so hard some days. Sometimes it's not just the food thing....most of the time I feel pretty set in a routine of what to eat and so it is not such a big decision thing. But being patient with my progress is very tough.

I did figure out one interesting phenomenon with my body. Evidently, the scale jumps up when I hit mid-cycle/ovulation. Of course this is not what it used to do when I was younger...it used to be bloat right before my period. But now it doesn't do that. I have been tracking things and it is absolutely that. I mean this month I was particularly careful of what I ate at this mid-way point and bamm, there went the scale...day 13 up a little...day 14 it hit a 3-lb. gain, day 15, back down a lb and a half. So perhaps tomorrow back to normal. I have eaten exactly the same thing and same number of calories all week to test it out. The good thing is that I was very detatched and clinical about the whole scale going up thing since I was treating it like a science experiment! So if I can keep from getting upset about this predictable spike on the scale every mid-cycle maybe I can avoid emotional eating that stems from feeling like, "oh what's the use, my body is illogical". This has typically been the tough stuff for me since I get my hopes up when I am being really "good" that I will see progress on the scale....then when the opposite happens I would get upset. Now, with being able to know that this will happen and that basically it is irrelevant to how well I am doing, and that it is predictable and all, well, maybe I can stay level and keep up the fight.

Hugs and encouragement to all!
missing you,
Dreemy
