Before I tell you how I did this week I have to apologize for not giving an update last week. It was “that time of the month” (if you know what I mean) and I actually GAINED weight. Ugh! I know it was water weight so I didn’t get too freaked out over it. I figured it was pointless to write a whole post on water weight gain.
This week was so-so. I have to admit that I fell off the plan a couple of times. I am an emotional eater. I tend to turn to food when I’m stressed out or upset about something. I know that is the WRONG thing to do but it’s hard to undo 30+ years of reacting to stressful situations that way. I KNOW it’s wrong to use food that way. Sometimes I’m strong enough to fight off the urge. Other times, like this past week, I’m not. I was hit with one thing after another and found it hard to stick to the Nutrilite diet plan. I am also embarrassed to admit that I didn’t take all my supplements like I was supposed to either.
The result…I GAINED weight. 🙁
As per my scale I gained just shy of 2 pounds. I don’t know if any of that is still water weight or the fact that I didn’t stick with the plan this week. I also didn’t exercise at all.
I know it’s wrong to put my health at risk when I’m feeling stressed, upset or overwhelmed. I really need to work on that.
I feel HORRIBLE about the weight gain. But I’m not going to let it get the best of me. I think I’m going to coast through the weekend then start back on the plan Monday morning and let this past week just be a faded memory. With any luck the weight gain was mostly water so by this time next week I would have lost the weight – if not more (more would be nice).
I wish I had better news to report. Next week I sure hope I have much better things to write about in regards to the Nutrilite plan and weight loss.

Hang in there girl, and don’t let the “so-so” week get ya down. The important thing is that you’re trying. You never know, maybe your emotional health would suffer more than your physical health if you DIDN’T indulge those emotional craving from time to time. Works for me, lol! : )
