Post-Valentines Day Weight Gain!

All I can say is EEEEEEKKKK!  Got on the scale this morning and jumped off...it scared the beJesus out of me!  Up 2.5 lbs from yesterday!  Hmmmm....can it be the not drinking all of my water?  or maybe the fact that I made and ate Shrimp cocktail, Filet Mignon with Bernaise sauce, mashed potatos, creamed spinach and let us not forget the WHOLE piece of Chocolate Ganache cake and handfull of M&M's! That was just dinner.  Breakfast was a protein shake and lunch was out but it was 1/2 of a hamburger, no bread with a few pieces of tomato.  Me thinks I went way over-board at dinner....what do y'all think?  I told Steve that he is to eat all the leftover mashed potatos and creamed spinach today before I get home from work.

I am back "on" today and I am hoping that I am retaining a lot of fluids and by being a good bandster, I should be able to slush it away in the next day of so.  I know I did not eat an extra 8500 calories at dinner so I think I should be ok.  I woke up at 2 a.m. so thirsty and drank 1/2 bottle of ice cold water and slept the rest of the night.  That alone tells me my body is hanging on to fluid.

Its funny how just when I thought I really had things under control eating wise, I totally lost it!  Very out of charactor for me of late but at least I have the presence of mind to know that it was a slip and not that I am reverting back to the old me where I would have just kept going with it.  This is why its so important for me to weigh myself every day.  Historically, I have been at my highest weights during periods where I didn't weigh.  The old "what I don't know, can't hurt" saying?  Of course, at some point I would weigh, which would lead to tears, Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, etc....none of that ever worked for me.  I will never go back to being that person.  I can't do it.
