I HATE re-losing weight that I already lost!

[Pretty Lola]

I'm back up to a weight that I thought I'd left behind for good, and it really stinks! And it's so hard to get my motivation back when I'm up those three pounds. I have to RE-lose them because of all that eggnog and party food :mad: Why did I do that to myself! And why does it take so much more work to LOSE three pounds than to GAIN three pounds? It's such an injustice.

I did workout today, but I really didn't feel like doing it and I didn't put a big effort into it. Grrr. I need to get an attitude adjustment PRONTO before three pounds turns into four pounds! I really need to break into the 170's and get my motivation going again!

I know the exact feeling!! But, I doubt you actually gained back three pounds of fat, because to do that you would have had to eat 3500 calories above maintenance for each pound. Your probably holding onto some water- drink a lot of water and hang in there- it will come off!

You only gained two pounds! Don't beat yourself up about it! You could lose that going number 2!
