Ok, so I admit it...
When I work my hiney off one day and eat lower calories and lower sodium foods and I STILL gain it makes me flat out pissed off.
Am I over-working? Whats this crap everybody says about "its really quite easy....you just burn more calories than you take in and you lose weight"?? In what PLANET does that happen? Not where I am livin sista.
So anyway, you can guess my scale was BACK up this morning. Quite frankly it ticked me off. I moved it all around the room (hoping it was off center or something) then stepping on again and again to see that I was up 8oz from yesterday's weigh in. Thats almost a bloody POUND!
So as I was driving home from my lunch with this weeks official "splurge meal" still warm in my tummy and ice cream chasing it, I decided maybe my scale needed to take the week off.
I still put too much stock in that stupid thing. And although everybody tells me I need to make peace with the scale and realize there just "water fluxuation" (boy that phrase chaps my hide!) day to day I'm over that crap. When I have a day that I'm up after I've worked really hard before that it makes me take a "oh what the heck, eat whatever you want b/c its not gonna matter ANYWAY" day. Now, today was my scheduled splurge meal at lunch. Supposedly we do this to remind our bodies we're not starving so they'll let go of the weight, but quite frankly I was HAPPY it was today b/c I'm still ill about the dern scale.
So I'm giving my scale the week off. I'm not going to weigh again till Saturday and see how I feel and how much I'm weighing then. Life's too short for me to keep yoyoing everytime I dont "get my way".
So there we go....
