wow so it was that bad.... I had to ask if that was a record- gaining 10.8 in 2 weeks....it was pretty shocking for me to think- in just 14 days in my old bad habits I put on that much...Its taken me since Dec to looose that much...I guess no one ever said it was easy...
the thing I'm finding frusterating is my messed up relationship with food....I always want to eat...I'm really trying to listen to my tummy - "are you hungry"? but I seem to eat in a pattern, last night after WW I was notactaully hungry but I had convinced myself that is was 7:30pm and that I'd better eat dinner... I never stop eating when I'm full- I don't know when that is...the only time it would stop me is when I've eaten so much i feel as I would vomit.... I also notice while on our variety of diferent flights that I do eat when bored...and almost any "pain" I feel in my tummy area I mis-read as "hunger".... my goal this week is to be more in tune with what is really going on....
wish me luck!

Fat Prison- seen on a couple different websites-
I want to tell you about a very unusual sort of prison. It's called Fat Prison. Why is it so unusual? Because it's completely voluntary.
No one sends us to Fat Prison, we send ourselves!
What's it like to be a fat prisoner? The rules are very strict. To begin with, each prisoner must wear regulation uniform. This consists of a baggy skirt or elasticated pants. Most prisoners pretend they don't mind walking around in this shapeless uniform, but secretly they hate it. They'd much rather walk down the street in a slim pair of jeans.
Exercise is strictly controlled Swimming or playing with children is forbidden. And no prisoner may walk more than a few yards at a time. The penalties for breaking this rule include sweating, shortness of breath, soreness and fatigue. After a few years without any sort of proper exercise, prisoners become so soft that the very idea of movement terrifies them. If you don't believe me, go up to a fat prisoner and suggest a nice long walk in the fresh air!
Everyday life The main feature of everyday life inside Fat Prison is tiredness. Prisoners carry lots of extra weight around on their bodies, so not surprisingly they suffer from chronic fatigue. Result? After doing their daily chores, most of them slump down exhausted in front of the TV.
Even when they allow themselves a night out, many prisoners find it difficult to enjoy themselves. They feel awkward about their shape so instead of mixing with other people they tend to sit in the corner with other fat prisoners.
Prison Mentality After many years of locking themselves away inside their Fat Prison, many prisoners develop a prison mentality. They lose confidence in themselves and their ability to "go straight". They look at slim people and think: "I'm never going to be like them!" They think they are doomed to stay in Fat Prison, forever. Result? They let themselves go completely.
Bad for Health Fat Prison is very bad for prisoners health. Don't forget, the greater our weight, the greater the strain on our joints and spine. And the fatter we grow, the harder our heart has to work to keep us going. No wonder so many fat prisoners get ill!
Depressing Fat Prison is a depressing experience, not only for the prisoners but also for their families. In fact, the children of fat prisoners often grow up to become prisoners themselves. It's a vicious cycle.
Question So why do so many people end up in Fat Prison? And even more important, why don't they leave once they discover how awful it is?
Answer Because they prefer to eat cookies, chocolate, potato chips, popcorn, doughnuts, fatty meat and creamy desserts. They know that this stuff makes them fat but they don't care. They'd rather go to prison than give up their regular mouthful of fat. *Some may have other reasons
Are you a fat prisoner? Have you locked yourself up in your own private Fat Prison? If so, here's some advice. Don't waste another day of your life in jail. Get out now!
All you have to do is stop eating junk and start eating properly and you can walk free tomorrow.
It may take a few months before your weight returns to normal, but your tiredness will lift immediately and within a week you'll feel ten times better. So what are you waiting for?Get out of your Fat Prison today and start really living!

I'm right there with you, hon. We just have to get back on that horse.
Sometimes life is more important than the numbers.. you ahd a wonderful post about your vcay, and i'm sure you loved it. But as for misreading tummies, I was BORN To do that. WE all do. Just try to drink TONS of water and that should kill any thirsties that might get confused for hungries.
Keep at er chick. One day at a time. Maybe too, go back to BASICS, liek week one and see if htat helps!
I'm thinking you probably ate a lot of high sodium foods in the restaurants while on vacation. I bet by jumping back on track, drinking lots of water and really focusing on doing whats good for your body, most of that weight will be gone in a few weeks.
A little something on my blog for you hun
Hugs x
Did you sort out all the issues you were having pre v-cay? Did ya get everything else back on track? From what I am seeing looks like yes. Now you just need to steady the course and get back on plan.
Bunches of that weight is probably water held in place by the sodium from v-cay and I foresee a great loss next week. :) Either way, you know what to do. Don't get down. And keep filling that water bottle. :)
You'll get back on track and it will come off nicely..like all the weight you have already lost has :)..Try not to let it get you down..mkay? Glad you enjoyed vacay..sounded like you needed it!
I just found your blog and really enjoy reading it. My scale is stuck at 250 lbs. I'm up a pound or so one week and then down 2 pounds the next week. So I understand your frustration but I agree with the other posters that it's probably the high salt foods from vakay. One meal at a time and good look at next week's weigh in :)
I'm sure at least some of that was/is water. Especially if you are anything like me, I never drink enough water when I am out more or less on vacation.
How about instead of thinking in terms of hunger pains and full you think satisfied. Maybe schedule your meals and really measure everything so that you are only eating 1 portion and eat slowly and pay attention to how your body feels, not your mind. My husband used to have this problem prior to joining WW with me and now he knows when hes hungry for a meal versus a snack and when he is satisfied. You can do it!
