Default Okay, now I'm the one who needs an ass kicking.

I'm getting really frustrated and annoyed and depressed. It's been months now since I've lost any pounds or inches and in fact I seem to be gaining a little bit - all while avoiding all "bad foods."

I know that I'm probably ODing on allowed carbs and calories and what I need to do is start getting religious with fitday and also get more active, but I can't seem to get motivated to do either.

Here's what happened: After starting in June, I was losing well, miraculously well, until Dec. Then I took a trip and intentionally cheated for a few days. I went back on plan, then went off for another few days at Christmas. Both times, any increase in weight came off fast after I got serious again and I lost several more pounds. I was down to 176 in mid Jan.
Then came a fateful day. I had been ill the day before and ate practically nothing. I was ravenous. I went to breakfast with friends and my omelet came with toast and hash browns. I has always been able to push them away, but this time, I was so hungry and things were going so well I just decided to go for it. Ate everything on the plate. I still can't blame this one event for my subsequent stall, because it would be silly to blame one little meal, but I have lost nothing in the two months since and have crept up to 183 even though I haven't "cheated" at all since.
I had some LC ice cream but quit that, thinking it was the culprit. I bought a LC pound cake but took one bite and put the rest in the freezer. I've really been very good. And yet, the scale creeps up not down.
I think I'm eating too much salad, probably. I really need to do fitday but it's so TEDIOUS inputting food in there and estimating the measures...

And if anyone out there stalled out for months for no apparent reason and then got over it and started losing again, please tell me all about it to cheer me up.
