Gaining weight again :(
Despite the feeling that I have had the last month or so that I had lost control of my eating I didn't gain much weight. Until last week: This morning I weighed over 60 kilos (133,5 pounds) for the first time since summer, and I am not happy about it. Before I have oscillated between 58,3 (128,5 lb) and 59,6 (131,3 lb) and I was pretty okay with that. Breaking the 60 kilos barrier: not so much.
It will also be rather embarrassing, since today is the day for my meeting with the dietitian and official weigh-in :(
There are reasons, isn't there always?
Firstly: when I went to the conference in London I ate All the Cookies. I also spent Saturday evening drinking beer with old LiveJournal friend Billy Oblivion. Surprisingly I didn't gain much then, probably because of all the walking to, from, an inside the tube system ;) I weighed 59,6 kilos last Monday, and that was what I was hoping for this Monday too, but no such luck.
A bigger reason is that my arthritis has been bad and I tend to snack to distract me from the pain. I also started on methotrexate, which makes me feel queasy, and thus eating stuff to alleviate this, apparently it can also cause weight gain on its own. I will have to find some way to work on this.
I also ate quite a lot on this Saturday, since my coven celebrated Samhain.
On the positive side I have now paid for, and activated my gym membership. I haven't actually been to the gym, because I want to have my daughter Valeria as company and she hasn't bought shoes yet. I was going to go yesterday, but decided for 20 minutes on the exercise bike at home instead, and a long walk to the cemetery to put candles on my friends' grave.
Today we might go to the gym though.
