Up 2, down 2, up 2, down 2....

Mar 29, 2011

My scale and I are literally friends one minute, enemies the next.  For the past 3 days it has been up 2 pounds (232) down 2 pounds (229) this morning it was back up 2 pounds (232) again.  When I saw it this morning I literally laughed! .  There is no way that I ate enough to truly gain 2 pounds.  So I know that it has to be water weight, bloating, etc...  But normally I get a little upset when it does this but this morning was different.  There was clearly nothing funny about seeing 232 but at the same time I thought it was somewhat comical.  I finished getting ready and went to the closet to pick out an outfit for work.  I have some really good friends who have provided me with clothes (smaller clothes) that have just been sitting in my closet.  I have still been wearing my size 22-24 pants and shirts to work everyday.  Pants bottoms dragging the ground, bottom sagging, LOL my co-workers asked me yesterday if I looked in the mirror at my pants before I left the house.  Yes they were somewhat big but they were comfy.  So today I decided that I was going to try something different.  I pulled out a size 18 pair of pants and a large top....a top that was given to me by a rather "skinny" young lady I might add LOL!  I went back to the bathroom and glanced at the scale still flashing 232!  I laughed again.  I put those size 18 pants on and that large top....and they fit perfect!  No saggy, no baggy, my co-workers all were like "wow" that was underneath all those baggy clothes you have been wearing LOL.
So the moral of this story is....never take the scale too seriously!  Not only will it drive you insane but those days when it is up 2 down 2....you are still losing inches!
