R2, P2, VLCD 27 - One Step Forward, Two Steps Back

My suspicions were confirmed: "There be starch in them there hills!" Okay. Not the hills, but most certainly at the Asian Buffet and their Mongolian grill sauce. Dang it! I had a 1.6lb gain today. Sigh. Hoping that my clean eating makes a difference and I don't have further set backs. I learned my lesson, though. If we do go for Mongolian BBQ again, it will be at the other restaurant where I can pick my own, oil-free and starch-free liquids. That's the way it should be, anyway.

Hubby is grilling out right now. It smells wonderful, but I'm so irritated by that unnecessary gain that I'm not even tempted. Hubby says that, "Only a starch or refined sugar would have made my weight go up like that." He would know. He is the king of honey buns. After a show, he'll kill an entire package. The next day, he'll be as much as 10 pounds up from his weight. Sugar really can cause some major craziness in the body (of course eating an entire box of honey buns is definitely above and beyond the norm for anyone).

Here's what I had today:

Starch will do it every time! Well, at least you have a strategy for the next time you go to dinner...and because it's primarily water weight, it'll disappear quickly!

Thanks, Susan. I appreciate the encouragement. I was so disappointed, yesterday.
