I need weight help badly?
Okay, I am freaking out...I think even on the verge of a panic attack and I just need some sound advice and a listening ear. I have been dieting for the month of July. working out between 6-8 hours a week. I began at a weight of 138 (height is 5'5") and lost the weight very quickly, to 132. I was very thrilled with my progress. Well, since then I have been on 2 mini vacations. I stuck to my diet very well but the only things I did differently was 1. not work out every day 2. I had low calorie cocktails on both vacays (wine and vodka/diet sprite). I did not have any cocktails/alcohol upon my return from vacation. Well, tonight I stepped on the scale and I weighed...138. In the month I have been dieting I have weighed myself frequently throughout the day (sometimes up to 6 times a day) as well as watch my calories tremendously.
I am beyond discouraged right now and I feel like a beach ball. I could literally cry the rest of the day because I feel like a failure with my diet and myself. I know I am overweight for my height and am working so so soooooo hard to fix this. I feel like I'm going in an inevitable circle. Did drinking on vacation sabotage my diet entirely? What have I done wrong? Thank you and also, thank you for listening.

First off, calm down. This is probably just water weight. A couple things to think about... what kind of calorie deficit are you going for? are your work outs only cardio? lifting weights or even just body weight (push-ups, dips, etc.) can be great for losing weight (more muscle translates to more burned calories). Try to stop getting on the scale so much, once a day is plenty as weight can fluctuate throughout the day. I like to do a sort of mini 1 day cleanse the day after I get back from vacation. I have a meal replacement shake that I usually only drink for breakfast. My 1 day cleanse is :
Breakfast: Shake
Snack: fruit + green tea
Lunch: Shake
Snack: fruit + green tea
Dinner: Salad, veggies, and 4 oz. lean meat
Be sure your not experiencing any kind of calorie creep and drink more water than you think is enough.
