I'm going to add you to my "guys" blog roll today...sorry about it taking so long, but I have a hard enough time these days even posting once a day...

I'm going to add you to my "guys" blog roll today…sorry about it taking so long, but I have a hard enough time these days even posting once a day…

Don't worry about the weight gain…as long as you do the right thing 90% of the time, the 10% wrong will be just a blip on the radar…

My wish for you and my fellow fatbloggers, is that we would always see a drop in weight, but we know that isn't going to happen every week. I'm so happy you were honest... for your own self approval.

I knew going into this I would have weeks where I gained weight - I just wasn't prepared for it being so soon. I am really glad that my being open can encourage others. Michelle - It's hard isn't it? I wrote a follow-up to this post on fatbloggers.net where I explore the need for honesty a little more. http://www.fatbloggers.net/2007/08/20/the-importance-of-honesty/ Poundslayer - I don't think I am deserving of your admiration yet, but I'm going to work hard to gain it from you and everyone else. At this point I'm just talking the talk. Jan – thanks for the great reminders. I knew going into this I would have weeks where I gained weight – I just wasn't prepared for it being so soon.

The realization that being honest with yourself about your weight and your food intake is more important than even what you eat. I journal everything and sometimes it is hard to write down what I eat if I am eating wrong. But I force myself to do it. I even had to buy a food scale because I have a tendency to underestimate portions. I have to force myself to look my food intake right in the eye. If I start to hedge, I know that I am the one who will not fit into my underwear. I am the one who has to look at the scale every day. Your weight loss journey won't be a graph which goes steadily downhill. It will be up and down as your body changes and adjusts. But that's ok. Just keep with it and keep eating right and exercising and eventually every up will go down. I guarantee it. Thanks for being so open. It is encouraging to me.
