SLEEP EATING

Journey down the road of weigh loss with me or better know as lack of it!! I know this is probably not something you want to read but I am hoping that by sharing I will get some helpful insight some how and some where from somebody. I can not seem to lose my baby fat for the life of me, in fact it's almost scary so let me share. Ive been doing really good with the exercise and health eating, avoiding sugar and chocolate (I won't even go into how grumpy I've been). So last night I decided while getting ready for bed to weight myself. I know this is a stupid idea but I don't think to clearly at night time. To my surprise I weighed exactly the same as I did when I woke up that morning. Yea Yea the heavens are smiling down on me and my thought process was that I must have lost at least 3 lbs because it was midnight. I went to bed with a smile on my face and thought it was the beginning of something beautiful. When the alarm went off I quickly got out of bed and stepped o to my over used scale and to my horror my scale read that I had gained 2.5 lbs. Are you kidding me??? Are you kidding me?!?!? Then I came to the conclusion. I sleep eat. Some people sleep walk and I eat in my sleep. All of those wonderful yummy things I neglected myself throughout the day become demolished in my mouth in the night. And the most cruel thing about it is I don't get to remember a thing. Is there anyone out there who can help with this diagnosis?

Lisa....When did you have the baby? Three months, I swear you have to be patient. Your hormones are still so messed up and still need to protect those Womanly organs. I am telling you, there is a reason why they say it takes nine/ten months to put it on and a year to take off....it is true. Give yourself sometime. I can only say this because it has taken me well over a year to get within five pounds of my beginning weight and I too work my butt off, but it never goes away, just a lot of aches and pains. Good luck and stop being so hard on yourself. The less you think about it the better you will be. Anyhow,I am sure you look fab!

Sleep eating. Yes! That's it. I knew something fishy was going on around here. I think I'm doing that too. Good luck. You'll do it, and the pics I've seen of you are beautiful!

Lisa you looked so good when I saw you London is just a couple months old. Maybe you are putting on more muscle and that weighs more!!!We need to have a Celtics Party Ryan would love to watch it with another guy.

sleep eating...i think you may be on to something!

don't forget to treat yourself with a small portion of what you crave now and then. it keeps you from completely blowing it in moments of desperation. living totally deprived is not living! and yes this was actually a "trainer tip" on the biggest loser!

To my sweet friends who care enough to respond. I guess I am being a little hard but I just thought it was something that would only happen to me. Don't get me wrong, I am not expecting Sports Illustrated to give me a call for a chance for the cover tomorrow but I am ready to go back to single digit pant size. And as for cheating a bit, I do cheat but my chocolate intake has gone from half a pound a day to a few chocolate chips. I can't go cold turkey or I might kill someone!! Thanks again for the support!!!

You are so funny! I love it! Throw your scale away!! Don't even look at! Go by how your clothes feel, and how you feel. :) Easier said then done right? :)
