This is what I posted this evening on the Good Evening thread on the 200+ board after my WI.
Hello all! After I left the meeting, I felt great. I reflected on what a good week I had especially after the drinks surprise that cut into my flex on Saturday and then the pre-TOM raging hunger that I managed to hang on. I earned 37 APs this week and I still have flex left. I did good work and up until this morning everything was looking good on the scale. So Yay me!
After the meeting, I was thinking of Jazzy's plan to WI once a month and thought I should just not look at my booklet because I feel good and leave it til next week which will be a better reflection of my work. But no, I should update my stats. That's the right thing to do. So I checked and now I'm sad. Well, not so much sad as ??? I'm not sure. But this big long prelude is really to tell you that I am up 3.8 lbs and this is the first month that I have a negative outcome for the month. So in October, I managed to gain 0.4 lbs! While OP!
Now, what I really wonder is what would happen to my scale if I just went for it the way I used to - you know, back in the day when I could pack away a big bag of ripple chips with French Onion Dip topped off with a Diet Pepsi and sometimes a nice chocolate bar. And that is after having big meals all day and not saying no to anything. If I did that for a week, it is scary to think how fast the scale would shoot upwards. Really, think about it! *sigh*
Anyhow, just a little reflection. I am sitting here after having my planned supper and I am drinking my decaf mint green tea otherwise pleased with a good week and a little bewildered at my body. Oh well, I am beginning a new week with a fresh Quiktrack and I am looking forward to a really good loss next week.

Seph - while you're reflecting you have to take a look at your before pic and the one of you in your new black jacket, OMG!! You don't even look like the same person, your face has changed so much it's incredible!!
I know that scale is really testing your resolve - and you are fighting back hard, but once again, I have probably said this, focus on the other victories, like that pictures, it's incredible!! If you never lost another lb, you would still live a healthy productive life, so much more than before! You are doing this and the scale is not playing fair, I'm almost of the mind to ignore it for a month, ok I wish I could and maybe once I get back from my trip to England it might be one of my goals! I will have passed at least 6 days of not weighing in, so we'll see!
Either way - you know in your heart you have given it your all, be happy, be proud and as you always say keep on keeping on, your body has it's own rhythm and it will drop the lbs when it's ready!!
Your biggest fan
