gaffers

Hey all,

Well i know how disappointed everyone feels when they see a gain.  I have been up and down like a yo yo over the past 2 months so I definately have been there.  Last night though i havent been bad this week i gained 1.5lbs and i was crushed.  Then i sat and tried to work out why, i havent drunk anywhere near as much water as i did when i was working, i havent dont any real exercise and part of it is due to my contraceptive pill.

Excuses? I thought so to i went back and looked over the evidence, for the past 2 months i have been taking the pill (i am like super paranoid about getting pregnant).  In that time i have gone up and down each week.  When i used to be on the pill i put on a load of weight because i never felt like i was full so i am considering stopping taking it again at the end of this month.  However i am going to make an appointment with the docs today because i really dont want to get caught pregnant.  My bf has a 5 month old daughter and seeing him with her makes me kinda broody but i know im not ready to handle the responsibility of children.  We’ll see if the change in pill makes any difference whatsoever…thats the only thing i am really doing differently.

I think gains make us stronger in our new lifestyles.  We can’t all be superhuman, the weight loss does have to slow down and when we do gain we know that we will try even harder next week to ensure that we lose.  Sometimes the gain is the kick up the arse we need to get back on track….

Anyways best get calling the doctor….Have a great day and keep smiling all of you!
