So I've had a rough weekend. My weight is now 4lbs above my starting weight. I know that some of that is water weight due to eating salty food over the weekend. I was doing so well with my diet for almost two weeks, then Friday hit. I was working full time (I have been working part time since my son was born) because people were gone at work. Things were really stressful at work and then I was exhausted trying to take care of my son and the house and try and workout. I had been keeping my calorie total to 1300-1600 but was feeling extemely hungry most of the time and my weight after 12 days was the same as my staring weight. My 5am workouts had been really hard to make because my son was not sleeping well waking up at 3 and 4 am. On top of all of this, it was my son's two year birthday party on Saturday so needless to say I was stressed trying to put everything together. When my weight was the same, I said "screw it" I was already so stressed out. So then I binged on sugar most of the weekend and am paying for my choices with the scale today. I am good about getting back on the wagon right away and had an awesome workout this morning, I prepped my foods yesterday and am back on track today, but I am worried that now there is no way that I will meet my goal. I am feeling depressed about this, because I was so focused and determined in the beginning. It sometimes seems like the more I hyper focus on my calorie intake and the scale that it backfires on me. I know people say don't focus on the scale so much but my weight in the end is what determines whether or not I win.
Any one out there have an experience like this.
