Weigh Gain and it SUCKS!

Here is the update. I was losing weight. I had lost up to 20 lbs, until 3 weeks ago. I had gained a pound. I started to gain weight and I got discouraged and wanted to give up. My Friend wouldn't let me and I was thankful for her at that time. Then the last week I gained another 2.2 pounds and I wanted to give up. My friend couldn't take the pressure I was giving her and she wanted to give up on me. I understand the stress, but I thought to myself that their is another person giving up on me. We talked it out and I went through my emotional ups and downs. Last Thursday, I took it out on my friend, then Friday I didn't want to talk about it, but my friends did. I knew if I would have said something, things would have gone a lot worse. SO I decided to keep my mouth shut, but what I wanted to say when on my video which I plan to post soon. Then we talked it out and I know they are just trying to help, but sometimes I just need to not talk about the situation. So on Saturday, I went to the gym to get some inspiration to keep going. I did and I worked out for 2 hours that day. Then Sunday, I took the day off to do some much needed school work and to rest my muscles from the long workout.

On Monday I worked out my Zumba as usual, then Tuesday when to down hill from there. I got into a car accident which I am fine, just a swollen right arm and a knee problem. So I took the day off from that then I took Wednesday off because of the arm. Today, I didn't work out because I was cleaning a house today. I do the same thing tomorrow and babysit too. I also weighed in and I gained another 2.0 pounds. That is a total of 5.3 pounds in 3 weeks. Some people tell me it is muscle because of me working out so much, others say it stress. I don't know what it is, but it is making me feel discouraged and I feel like giving up. So what I have decided to do so when I am on vacation in three weeks, I will not measure myself. I am also thinking of not weighing myself the week before I leave, so I don't have to worry or stress about it. So now I am trying to figure out what is happening to me? and why this is happening to me?

I am hoping the weather is good because I want to go walking. On this Saturday, I am going out shopping with my brother Saturday morning, then going to see a movie later that night with the family.

Also I haven't been looking for a guy for a week now because they are causing me more stress and none of the guys that want to talk to me, don't want a relationship or looking for one. The guys that write me just want sex or sexting (Sex texting). I am sick of it. If a guy wants to know me as a person then get the secrets to sex then fine. Guys I am upfront with you about what I want and if you aren't then your not for me and move on please. This means if you look at five pounds of muscle and five pounds of fat side by side, the fat takes up more volume, or space, than the muscle.Your just wasting my time and yours.

So this week's tips:
