Why is it that, in one week, I can so easily gain three bloody kilos but really try and only lose an average of 500 grams, in one week.

Drat these cursed bodies.

You've got a point there Bobby. Why is it so incredibly easy to put a lot of weight on in a week and so flipping difficult to lose a tiny amount in the same period. Sorry, no answers!

Thanks, wildmissus. It's more a rhetorical whine than a question. hahaha

Good point! I've never thought of it that way... you're dead right... it's TOTALLY unfair.....

Yeh Bobbiei know it is disspiriting to see that on the scales but...
Its usually only water x

You're right, CandiceMarie. Who would have thought that water could be so depressing.

I have no answer either, sadly. But your last couple of posts made me wonder, Bob - your location is WA, but as you say "peckish" and "bloody", are you actually a Brit? Just curious - it seems like not only are the Americans on here a very small minority, but lots are actually expats, or related to one...

No, not a Brit, just a bit of an anglophile, I suppose.

I could blame it on watching Monty Python's Flying Circus every week whilst growing up. That's as good of an excuse as any, innit.

I also prefer metric but that's from my biology degree.

That is one of the great mysteries of the universe Bobby. Answer that and you're in line for a Nobel Prize!

Not only that but it takes weeks to get fit and it can be lost in a couple of inactive weeks. We just have to battle on. what does the song say, get yourself up, brush yourself down and start all over again

I loved Fawlty Towers, too, in my youth. Can one still watch those shows online or something?

Here's a quote I picked up somewhere along my journey about sabotaging thoughts and about "unfair" specifically. It probably came from a Beck Diet forum I found and might be from one of the actual Beck diet books. Not sure, but it was a good one that I saved for my Beck Cards. This kind of diet "programming" (CBT) works well enough that I immediately thought of my card when I saw this post and keep quoting it everytime I see this thread keep popping up. Hope it helps.

UNFAIR??
Sometimes life is unfair. I have a choice. Let unfair thoughts overwhelm me or accept that I have to do whatever it takes. This is what succesful losers and maintainers do.

At least no one gave me the same advice I sometimes give...dial 1-800-WAAAAHHH

I prefer my whine with a bit of cheese.
