Post-big ride weight gain

[Tri Girl]

It is just really frustrating to go and burn 2,500 calories only to find out that I gained weight over the weekend.

It's one reason I've pretty much stopped weighing myself entirely. The numbers mess with my head too much. It kills me to work out hard and then gain weight. If I'm going to gain weight, I want it to be because I pigged out and enjoyed copious amounts of food- not because I rode my bike for hours.

+1,000.

I used to be a restrictive eater and obsessive about weighing myself multiple times a day. In the time since I stopped doing that, I've gained very little weight and a whole of sanity.
