I am angry.
Angry, I tell you.
Do you want to know what my )(*#_!@$()&@#*(&$@#) demon scale said this morning?
314.9lbs!!!
Ummm, no. There is NO possible way that I gained 7.5lbs since Monday. No no no no no no no no no no no no!
I hate my scale. I seriously hate it. I hate the power it has over me.
I’m torn between wanting to bash my scale into a million tiny pieces or have a good cry. I worked so hard for a week and apparently all my hard work earned me a .9lb gain. Sigh.
I talked to my Mom this morning and we came up a few a possible reasons.
1. It’s really hot and humid here and maybe that is affecting me.
2. It’s my first month off the pill so maybe my hormones are all out of whack, it is NOT that TOM so that is not what it is.
3. My scale is possessed by the weight gain demon.
4. My scale needs new batteries.
5. I drank a lot of water yesterday, like ten of my 20oz glass while I was at work and maybe my body is hanging onto that. Plus I drank a few more glasses of water when I got home.
All of this scale angst has led me to decide that I need to stop weighing myself. I have an appointment with my nutritionist on Tuesday. I am not going to weigh myself before then even though it will kill me. I have to lose this weight. I want to get my 100lbs lost on their scale. After that, I think I’m going to weigh once or twice a month. Heck, maybe I will just weigh myself at my appointments. I don’t know. I’m so depressed right now. This morning I barely packed a lunch, haven’t logged any calories which I usually do it first thing in the morning for what I’m going to eat that day. I just don’t care today. I don’t care. I make all these sacrifices and my body just screws me over.
Sigh.

I know exactly how you feel, its ridiculous that a scale has so much power over us.
BUT, you know that this isn't real, it's not a real gain, that's not possible.
Seeing a higher number would send me in to an eating spiral but you're much smarter than me and won't do that!
Keep your chin up, its just a freak number
It's the water...just think how heavy 200 oz.+ of water weighs. You're going to be peeing a blue streak today. And yep, you've got to stay away from that evil little B scale. It's no good for you.
Don't get down, sweetie. That's the worst thing. You've been doing great, this is why we put away the scale in the first place. So you just have to trust in the process and know that you've been doing what you need to do and that everything will be alright. :)
Trust. Everybody goes through the scale breakdown. All of those reasons you listed above seem logical as to why the sudden gain. You're doing a fabulous job don't let this one get you down
I'm sorry to hear about your stupid scale. Ugh. Just remember this is part of your overall breakup with the evil thing. Go pee and remember that if you are making good choices, good things will happen!!
Throw the damn scale out with the trash. That gain is so not real. It is all water. You are doing great. Don't let that number derail you from all the great progress you have made.
We are all proud of you. Keep fighting the good fight.
Hang in there and stay away from the scale for a week or so!!!!
It is so tough being tied to the scale. On vacation I nearly went and found one to buy. But I didn't! Being off the pill I know will mess with your body so be gentle on yourself! Keep up the good fight!!
For some reason I am not being updated with your blog posts! I must investigate!
You are doing all the right things. You just need to stay away from the scale. I do the same things when I have an even week or just a teeny loss. I hate those weeks. Just keep fighting the good fight and doing what you know needs to be done!
