Check-in: 320.5 (-15.3)

Starting weight: 335.8
This week’s average: 320.5
Change this month: +8.8
Overall change: -15.3
Next milestone: 20 pounds gone (again)

Here’s how the damage ended up. I can’t really write anything more than this today, except to acknowledge this: One of my daily weigh-ins at the end of March was 309. This weekend, I maxed out at 322. The “average weight” game is supposed to ease the blow of that kind of fluctuation somewhat (and, as you can see, it does — to the tune of 4-5 pounds, in this case) but still. These are realities and it is time for me to face them.

    sorry things have been so hard (and sorry I can’t think of any word less understated than ‘hard’) and I hope things get better for you.

    I’m sorry you had such a rotten month & wish I could honestly say “this too shall pass”.

    In spite of all the troubles, I know you’re reprogramming yourself to deal with these things in a manner other than eating (me too).

    I wish you all the best as you continue on your journey to better health.

    ((hugs))

    It takes some time to change how we respond to stress. And when you take a LOT of stress (and any one of those 10-11 things you have had going on this month is a lot, let alone all of them), you’re putting on a lot of pressure.

    You’re still figuring out what works, what doesn’t work and a gain means there are a few bugs to work out.

    I’m just sorry you have had a cruddy April. But May is here and maybe things will be less unsettled for you. I hope life is better for you.

    **hugs**
