I just got on the scale and discovered I've gained 9lbs since the wedding 2 months ago! I'm really upset

. I don't think I look like I've gained that much weight, but I worked really hard to get that off a year and a half ago and now its back. HH says I look great and I really appreciate that but I hate that I've gained that much weight! I felt great about myself before I gained this weight and I want that back. I guess its time to start dieting again! Sorry for all of my rambling but I really needed to vent
Two souls but a single thought; Two hearts that beat as one

Re: Why?
The exact same thing happened to me. I lost 15 pounds before the wedding, and was planning on keeping up with it and loosing quite a bit more. I got on the scale a week ago and realized I gained 8 pounds. I'm super pissed at myself for letting my hard work go out the door, but I used it has my motivation to get back into the swing of things.
I started eating healthier this week and I already feel better! I'm going to get back into the gym next week. Don't worry, you have lost the weight once before, so you know that you can do it again!
Thanks for the encouragement, I plan to start watching my portions and what I eat. I've done good cutting out pop lately and drinking more water.
I talked to HH about it this morning and he said he thinks some of it is water weight from my period. That could very well be true as today or tomorrow will be my last day. I don't think I have 9lbs of water weight on me though lol.
I feel your pain. Post-wedding and HM, I found I had gained 10 lbs. So had DH. I blame it on the HM, though, since we basically ate our way through Greece & Italy (how can you not????)
Last week I stepped on the scale and had lost like 4 lbs. I NEED to keep going, though...Tomorrow is weigh-in day.
We go to the gym regularly which helps...also, summer is great for fresh fruit & veggies and grilling, which makes for naturally lighter & healthier meals and snacks. Hang in there.
