Re: Magical Weight Gain...

[(Anonymous)]

Counting every calorie and weighing condiments (!!) is a bit much. I get that people want to maximize their weight loss but being this precise about it will drive you absolutely nuts and getting discouraged won't help at all.

Re: Magical Weight Gain...

It's been over a year.

It honestly isn't that much more work -- I usually weigh everything out while I'm waiting for something to cook so it's not like I waste a lot of time per day.

If I want a snack, I just grab a cup, zero the scale, weigh it out and then log it. Adds maybe ten seconds.

Re: Magical Weight Gain...

The point isn't about it being a lot of work, the point is that it's not necessarily productive to micromanage every calorie. Sure, it helps to keep track of what you're eating, but if you're at the point where you're measuring condiments... that's a little over the top.

Being careful and organized is great, but not if it means a tendency to hyperfocus on what is almost certainly a trivial and temporary weight gain. Almost everyone in this thread is telling you it's just bloating/water weight, annoying and frustrating but perfectly normal. Yes, it happens out of the blue sometimes. Yes, it happens even when you're careful with diet and exercise, because your body isn't really a machine and it doesn't function as predictably as machines usually do.

So please, cut yourself a break. I promise you that you'll be a lot more successful with your weight loss if you don't beat yourself up over ever small setback.
