Face To Face With Satan (aka THE SCALE)

Soooo, I have made less than stellar food choices since Friday. On Monday, "official scale day", I was up a few pounds...a pretty 201.

I can handle that.

Today I stepped on and saw 205.

hahahhahahahahahahhahahahaha

hahahahah
hahha

ahhahahahahahha

Seriously? Up 4 pounds overnight and 7 pounds from lowest!

hahahahahha

Clearly, this is nothing to be alarmed about and can't all be fat. But it really is enough to scare me straight! Started drinking water ASAP. Tonight is Wednesday night which means bootcamp and Zumba...

Lord have mercy! It's not like I found a container of whale blubber, stuck a straw it in and began to suck the fat!

205?

hahahahahaha

  1. I don't believe this! That's just nuts. I would be laughing at the scale too. Obviously it's not fat and just salt/water retention. I had a less than stellar weekend too and in just a day and a half gained 3 pounds. I've been drinking water like crazy since Monday with no F-ing scale movement so far. Don't worry. The scales are fuckers (sorry). It will come back down before you know it!

  2. I can't laugh. My jaw fell off. It's physically impossible for me to laugh with a missing jaw.

    Crazy talk.

    But then I do that, too. Gain 4 or 5 pounds overnight. Especially around this TOM. And then overnight, I lose it, too. It will stay on me for about 4-5 days before it falls off. And when I can continue to be good during those 4-5 days - when it does fall off it takes a few more with it. But hard to be good when it looks like it's going backwards.

    Can I have my jaw back now?

  3. Your scale is bipolar. There's no way you gained that quickly - on the other hand....How naughty was Amy???? BTW we painted DD's bedroom bright orange! You would love it :)

  4. I hear you on the crazy boing-ing scale... this too shall pass. I have seen my own weight fluctuate pretty wildly from bloating (whether from needing to pass water or poop!!

  7. I'm going with Nicole...Satan Scale Sucks! You could be insane like me and have two scales?!?! I just record the lowest number, because we all know that's the right one!

  8. Its not real weight. Do-overs are in order tomorrow with the evil scale. Personally, I refuse to believe in the up weights - it eventually goes down, so f*ck the ups!

  10. I hear you lady! I wish it was a science of calories in and calories out -- but it's NOT.

  11. Its so hard to get off and so easy to gain it back. Stupid scale! You will do it, tonight you are going to burn a gazillion calories!!!

  12. Oh poor Ames, all you can do is laugh, and keep trucking.

    It's not logical, it's not easy, but the weight does come off... eventually. love you bandsister.

  13. Maybe you should sprinkly some holy water on it. Or threaten it with a cross or something. Garlic?

  14. Amy usually with less than stellar food choices comes insane amounts of sodium which can take up to 3 days to flush out ouf your system! Just get back on track and it wll be gone in no time

  15. It sucks, but I am there with you. My scale says I have gained 7 pounds since Friday. Not even sure why I stepped on it since I am really good about weighing only once a week. Blah. 7 pounds...that's be like 24,500 extra calories that I didn't burn in 5 days. I think not.

  16. It's water weight, Amy. Do your clothes feel tight around your tum, or your rings tight? I had a nasty jump like that a while back and MOTH kept saying its water, all water.. and I was grumpy as hell at him! Turns out he was right - within two or three days - the weight was gone, and my rings could twirl again freely. Hang in there, darl!!

  17. Laxatives! You're clearly riddled with poop. Hahahahahahahaha....

  18. I have a Satan scale too and I've decided to use Catherine55's approach and take the lowest weight and then ignore the bounce. It will go away and take a few friends with it so that is all that really matters.
