Staying "Up" After Disappointing Weigh-In!

I'm trying to not get to discouraged over the meeting last night.  I only lost .4 after a week of completely staying OP.  This was my first weigh in after months of not really watching my eating at all.  Every other time that I've started back to WW, I've lost about 5 pounds the first week.  My home scale still continues to show more loss than .4 - weighing in the mornings without any clothes ... maybe my clothes are at fault!  :)

I'm wondering if I could be having more trouble this time because I'm taking hormones.  I haven't been on the pill in years and recently started back a couple of months ago.  It just so happens that a couple of months ago, I started really gaining weight, too.  Yes, I was eating a little more than normal (it was Christmas time) but I couldn't believe how quick the pounds were coming on and sticking on.  I'm thinking that I may quit taking the pill for a few months and see if that helps.  I know that my age will start to be a factor ... but I can't believe that my metabolism has died off that much!

My "funk" has spilled over to today, too.  The kids are being tough to deal with ... making lots of messes and doing things to push my buttons.  Sometimes, these struggles can seem really futile ... and I'm a week into this weight loss battle.  

Okay, I'm going to adjust the attitude and have a good day ... despite my bummed feelings.  I'll grab a "to go" lunch from a restaurant to pep up my spirit ... nothing high calorie - but something to make the day special.  Maybe the pasta that I ordered on "girls night" this week.  It was great and didn't seem too fattening at all ... plus, they have "take out" and I can stop on the way home from noon car pool.  ;)
