Despondent over apparent gain, please help

I am so so upset. I got on the scale this morning and it claims that I am up 3/4 of a pound. No! No!

This was a particularly shocking blow, since I just finished my cycle and therefore as history has shown, should be at my truest weight. I'm so upset. I have not "cheated", I'm walking the treadmill every morning for 30 min., I am so upset.

Anybody that is on fatsecret.com, please, look at my food and tell me if you see something different that I don't. The only thing I noticed is this;

from the 2nd to the 10th I had steady weight loss of about a pound a day. During this time, the average fat content of my daily food total was higher than it is now, a lot higher, averaging about 21g's a day. Now it is in the low teens. Could that have done it? I'm just so upset, I was starting to get so positive and hopeful about this, thinking I might actually lose the 75 lbs by my 3rd month like my surgeon wants. Now I am very very blue. :crying:

I've ordered some benefiber and have started having tiny amounts of apple with the skin. I'm also drinking a lot of herbal tea to keep things moving. According to my food tracker I'm losing 3 pounds a week. I should be thrilled by that but ...

That's almost 1/2 lb per day! Imagine 1/2 of hamburger! That's a lot per day. Maybe I just have lower expectations for myself, but I'm losing that or a little slower and I'm not dissatisfied at all. That's a healthy pace to lose weight, I think. I'm at the 180 mark but I'm not going to count that as lost until I maintain the loss for several days. Than I'm going to do a happy dance because that's the least I've weighed in at least 15 years, maybe longer!

You know what's bugging me these days? Family members who are in bad moods and bitching to me about it. I feel like telling them to take their rain clouds and go stand outside a while! I want to be a sympathetic listener for the people I love, but boy! It is hard sometimes to keep positive when loved ones are down.

I think i'm a slow loser but to be quite honest i'm fine with, iim still on 800-900 cal, getting enough proteins,getting in veg and some fruit, and some days too much carbs (need to work at that) Bowels since surgery a mess, very lazy, i'm still waiting for that lovely diarrhea that people talk about, never happened in 7 weeks though!
