I'm sorry for your feeling of despair, and I feel it too.

First of all, OH MY GOD, you have lost 60lbs! That is just wonderful! Congratulations on that. You did that by sticking with this WOE.

Basically TOM weight gain depressed you and caused you to go off the WOE, which basically made the situation worse.

But your back on track and that is the important thing.

If the TOM thing is getting you down, try the following:

1. Drink MORE water the 3 days before and during.
2. You can take a mild diuretic to help alleviate water weight gain during this time
3. Stay away from lunch meats and anything with high amounts of sodium during this time.
4. Stay off the scale until 3 days after your TOM.

Take heart and remember how far you have come, how much better you feel today than you did before you started this WOE.
