a cry for help

Paul, I wish I was like you but I find only one ‘bad’ day can lead to gains. Maybe this is another thing that sucks about being a chick? We sure love to hang onto those fat cells (in order to survive a famine I guess, whereas the males are expendable? :).

Anyway I have no doubt a gain as I had a kids party food blow out of major poportions on Saturday – about 9 pts on sausage rolls plus too many chips. That night I had dinner at Donna’s place, so it wasn’t at the usual toddler friendly 6pm but at the more sophisticated time of 9:30pm…. luckily her small brush with ww has meant the food wasn’t as bad as it used to be in terms of points (alas the woman is the best cook I know and her food is delicous. It was good to see that being lower in fat she is still managing to make it taste fabulous). But – as I have worked out, eating late is really bad for me – it has happened four times this week due to a number of circumstances (mostly around a pressing deadline).

I went into full on damage control on Sunday but a late dinner (pasta, carbs after 8pm not good) due to a wacky schedule probably only made matters worse I suspect.

I am getting really frustrated as it isn’t one major thing but a series of small obstacles that together make a bad picture. Combined with the no time for exercise (and this isn’t just laziness I promise, I have a big presentation at the end of the month for my masters submission and I am shitting myself over it).
I really actually don’t want to go tonight because i fear the scales. Does anyone have a ‘no record’ card? I don’t think I can take another gain tonight but I know that when I feel like this it is the time that you really *have* to go…..

    Hey Inger
    You wont be alone. I am expecting a gain this week due to eating lots of curry on friday night, very rich hot chocolate on Saturday night and eating asian foodstuffs that have no information regarding what that they contain apart from salt.

    I have had the discipline of a wimp and expect to weigh in like a blimp.

    I also expect to gain this week. Noddy, this leaves you as the sole flag bearer of the Fab Four to lose something…

    Hey Inger, if you are shitting yourself re submission, then this can only lead to good things on the weight front. Nice and regular means no deposits in the bowel bank!
