Weekend messups, Weight gains..

OurLuvsFromAbove · 07-16-2008, 05:06 PM

how long does it take everyone to shed the weight they gain after a slip up..
This passed weekend was my birthday weekend, and I must admit I drank and slipped up, but enjoyed it! lol
I will not be slipping up for a longgggg time.. and I have not weigh myself since sat morning before my slipups.. I dont want to weigh again till I know im back down to what I was before.. lol
I am debating if I want to weigh friday morning or maybe wait till monday..

How long does it take everyone else to get back to where they were after a slip up?

it took me about 5 days to get back to normal after my 'accidental intake' of 300+ carbs in the form of what I thought was 'heck there is no sugar in' tonic. That was a month ago (I am not a drinker BTW this is like once every 2 years except this month LOL)

This past Saturday I drank 6 beer between 4pm and midnight, felt like crap until this morning and only went up 2lbs but it is gone now.

Thank goodness that wedding is OVER!!

I'd say it usually takes 4-7 days. When I got to my goal weight in December '04 I slightly modified the "diet." it was my own little version of maint....5 days strict low carb and two days whatever the heck I wanted...and trust me...it was beer, fried chicken, beer, jack in the box tacos...really, really bad. But when Monday came around...back to the grind until Saturday. I literally gained and lost 5 pounds every week until August of '07 (That's the beginning of me coping with stress with mass quanitities of food and beer, thus marks my return to a low carb forum). So, if you do "slip up," don't beat yourself up over it. As we all know, the weight will come off. Obviously I don't advise my 5/2 days system until goal weight is attained, but if you screw up in the mean time...you've only postponed your goal weight by a week. Not really a big deal. As far as the numbers on the scale go...i wouldnt let the result discourage you. Whether you weigh yourself today or in a week; Remember, the scale doesnt determine it's own result, you determine the scales result. With the support of your friends and family, along with this forum, a momentary lapse will not kill you. In the end you will dictate what that scale says. Stay motivated...Stay positive....you'll do great!

I really think the scale does determine it's own result, random number generator....but your points are valid. Scales are just from the devil rofl.
