Seriously?!?

This is just another reason why we should remember to only WI once a week at the same time. So this weekend I stupidly went and bought a scale at Target…hey, they were on sale! I though that I could be in control and I wouldn’t be obsessive about it and since I had missed last week’s meeting due to New Year’s so I wanted to see if I had done any damage. Well it showed that I was up every time I got on it. I was up from anywhere between 1.5 and 2.8 pounds! Well this just got me more obsessed to get to the gym but it also made me want to weigh myself 10-15 times a day when I was actually at home…bad, bad!! The whole time I was doing this, the rational side of my mind was saying "its okay, you know your weight can fluctuate throughout the day". But my obsessiveness just took over my brain and I couldn't get past the gain.

To basically get to the punch line here, I went to my meeting last night expecting to see some kind of gain there. I always look at them write down my weight and it looked like she wrote a – in front of the 1.6. There’s no way I’m thinking, so I ask her am I really down? And it turns out I am! Seriously? I couldn’t believe it. Now I’m only 1.2 away from my 10%, and I’m going to work super hard to try to get that next week. Moral of the story: stick with one consistent scale…now I’m bringing it back to get my 30 bucks back!
