Looking at my weight chart is just depressing. I was doing so well! Then the holidays hit, and I started birth control. Dear g-d in heaven. The doctor said there was water retention due to the estrogen. But.. OMG. This is not okay. I'm trying to remain calm about it. I'm six feet tall, I'm pretty sure no one has even noticed the weight gain (About 20 pounds in a month's time!). I comfort myself that it could be baby weight instead.

This is my new zero. I need to stop looking back and despairing at all the ground I've lost. I just need to knuckle down again, calm down, and get to work.

Remember people, be kind to yourselves.
