September/October weight loss challenge

[GLC1968]

I was going to post that I didn't weigh this morning, but I did. I also am about to post in the 'what did you eat today' thread that I ate almost an entire large pizza by myself last night. My first binge in years. I think I was punishing myself for something but I haven't quite figured it out yet.

Anyway, I'm up today. 170.9. Two pounds exactly. And two days ago I was thinking that I was feeling slimmer and that I'd probably see a drop this week.

. . . been there. Why do we sabatoge ourselves?

If only I knew! I tend to sabotage myself as I get closer to my goal but doing it when I've barely started my new program is just weird. I do hope to figure it out though because it was too painful to let it happen again!

I just keyed it all in and I do feel better about it. My weight gain is obviously related to water (something that always happens after I eat pizza even if it's just one slice), and seeing the numbers in black and white has made me relax a bit. I was over my daily burn by 1300 calories yesterday. That's not even a half pound's worth. Certainly not enough of a reason to 'throw in the towel' as I've done in the past. I probably erased my entire weekly deficit (it wasn't a very good week exercise-wise either), but I certainly didn't eat enough to gain real weight this week.

Ok, I feel better. Putting it past me now. Moving on...

171.0 moving in the wrong direction. 8 years ago when I quit smoking my weight shot up, since then I have lost weight right to this 170-172 and can not seem to cross over into the 160's. To prove this to myself I ate cake for dinner last night and after weighing in today I had Chipoltle for lunch: the entire chicken burrito, chips, guacamole and a margarita.
I'm now thinking of doing something really strict: a cleanse, sllimfast, the cookie diet. I don't know which yet or even if yet but I have to, have to get over this hump.
