I didn't eat many fruits and veggies. I was in a really bad mood most of the day. I spent a lot of time daydreaming about foods I could eat. I bought a package of Oreos but only had 2 and gave the rest to the teenage boys I work with that can eat anything. I feel a little sick. I almost went to another store to buy vegan ramen, but I didn't. I came here instead. I feel kinda hungry, but mostly emotional and a little bit ill from the cookies. Things didn't taste good today (except the cookies) and I was just mostly upset. Since I gained I can't believe that I can actually eat when I'm hungry, until full, and still be healthy/lose weight. And if that isn't true, I don't know how I'm going to stick to this WOE.

That's where this board is so great...for everyone who's been through it to come here and let you know it's just temporary, to hang in there, to start fresh in the morning. Everyone's body is different and for some reason yours may have decided to hold on to some weight for a bit longer. But I've read over and over in these journals that when you stick with it, the weight does come off. Sometimes people go up, get stuck for two or three weeks, get very discouraged but hang in there and then voila! The scale finally drops.
If it doesn't drop then it's helpful to list several days menus and people come in with suggestions to tweak things and often that does the trick.
Stay the course, this is for your health, it does work, it can take some time, continue finding foods you like to eat, enjoy them and be busy in your life...
