Since I have joined support groups on MFP, I have also added people I don't know to my home list - they are just people in the support group. Normally I wouldn't do that, but I am trying new things to stay on track.
One lady "JustRollMe" comments EVERY DAY! She has logged in 240 days in a row. I don't know her story but this is what she wrote this week -
"For the very first time since June 7, which is the day I began counting calories and striving for health, my weekly weigh-in is a gain. Logically, I know it isn't physically possible to be anything other than water weight, because my logging is tight, etc. and the gain is .6, but still, I'd be lying if I said I'm not disappointed. But, I also know to keep my chin up."
All I kept thinking was that I could NOT believe that someone had seven months without one bad week! IMPOSSIBLE!! So instead of feeling bad for her, I just felt bad for me! REALLY? She is pouting about ONE WEEK?!?!?!?
Then I did come around to the fact that I am so heartless. I struggle with the numbers on the scale almost every day! I am demoralised by water weight. And if she is losing that much weight surely she must truly have a lot of weight to lose and be in a difficult situation. So, I looked her up and she has lost 63.2 pounds!!! And, obviously she has more to lose.
She has been so supportive of me and I will now be SUPER supportive of her - whoever she is!
