Hey Marjie,

I am going through this at 2 years out. I gained back 20lbs. I know

exactly what caused my regain, slacking off on going to the gym and

reintroducing myself to carbs. Argh

The numbers don't scare me TOO much but the fact that my size 6 jeans

that were perfect have no hope of zipping and my 8's that were baggy are

too tight freaked me right the hell out.

I also gained in my lower half and almost nothing anywhere else. I have

an overall tiny bit of a new layer, but it all came on in my belly and

butt, hence the jeans not fitting raar.

I freaked and whined and stressed myself out beyond belief for a couple

of weeks and now am trying the philosophy of " just chill " . I crammed my

scale in the bathroom cabinet and hop on it once a week instead of every

day. I'm back at the gym working out and lifting again and it feels

great, I'm also avoiding refined carbs and " extras " that I just don't

need. It's weird that after a couple of days of avoiding carbs and

keeping my munchies manageable by crunching veggies, my carb cravings

are going away... *crosses fingers* My interim goal is to get back into

my " baggy " jeans and go from there... I do kind of like my rounder

hiney... I don't HAVE to get back into the 6's :)

When I was heavy I used to get so mad at my thin girlfriends who would

complain about gaining 5lbs but now I think I understand. Not only is

it felt in the clothes you wear, but the way you feel. The sheer panic

I felt when the scale started climbing up and my clothes got tighter was

horrible. Yes of COURSE I am grateful not to be over 300 lbs anymore...

I LOVE all the new things I can do, but I will always be afraid of the

numbers going up and not stopping.

I get dirty looks for griping about this recent gain, but you know what?

It's my bod and I am allowed to freak for a short period of time. You

can keep giving me dirty looks if I continue to freak and lose sight of

everything I have accomplished!

I say, we can take pride in the fact that we are working it this time

and not letting it go. We can make it back to a place where we feel

good by getting back to the basics and try not to drive ourselves nuts

:)

Frustration

Hi everyone,

My weight started climbing and I am now no

longer a size 10 - I am now a 12 or more often a 14 (on the bottom - my

medium tops are fine). --

Anyone else have this going on? How are you dealing with it?
