Hey guys so I started dieting properly the beginning of the month sticking to around the 1200 cal mark to try and get to 9 stone 5 by the end of the month for my birthday. I give myself a treat day a week which is basically my normal diet plus a dessert, a piece of bread(which I don't touch at all throughout the week) and something naughty like a slice or two of pizza for tea with salad. I don't go mental and rarely go over my 1800 maintenance calories according to my b m r.
I went out for a meal on Tuesday which was to an all you can eat buffet so perfect opportunity to use as a cheat day and to test my will power(probably not the wisest thing to do) and had a plate of salad, table spoon of the crunchy onion bits, tea spoon of colseslaw, a slice of vegetable pizza and carrot cake, which I thought I did pretty well considering. Thanks to my 1200 cal and carb limiting I felt so full and bloated I couldn't face supper nor breakfast in the morning. I jumped on the scale to see the damage(I know it's not wise) and to my surprise was 2 1/2 lighter than I was at the last weigh in which was on a Friday (CHUFFED). I wasn't hungry until tea but I did have about four black coffees through out the day so then I had quorn fillets rice and peas, carrots and sprouts for tea. So a massive cal deficit that day. Jumped on the scales today and I've gained 1 1/2 lb.
I'm praying this is just water weight maybe I over did it with the salt and carbs. I surely can't have indulged in 3500 cals above my 1800 on that day to even gain a pound and it's my weigh in tomorrow.
I find it odd to gain two days after a cheat day though and not the day after so just looking for reassurance that this is retained water. Hmm.
