Blcarter34 - Sorry to hear about the little spike in your weight, but I'm lovin' your attitude! It's such a good/healthy way of thinking to keep in mind how resilient weight is... I
always forget that and just beat myself up so bad when I screw up, like the world is going to end and I'm going to gain back 90 lbs because I ate 3 cookies, LOL. But you're right--all it takes is a couple of normal days and it'll be right back down again! I need to remember that more often, heh. Best of luck to ya this week!
Jelbb - Oh yes, I completely understand about schoolwork stress... In fact, this quarter has probably been the most stressful 8 weeks of my LIFE, and I totally relate that to the fact that my WL stats were less impressive for the past couple months. I try to strike a good balance between all the things I'm juggling, but it's hard to focus on so many things at once--you never want to stretch yourself too thin, ya know?
But when you finally DO emerge from all the craziness unscathed, you know you'll have a great feeling of accomplishment!! It just proves to you how strong you are.
I think that's one of the coolest things about weight loss in general, actually--I get to think to myself, "Hey,
I did that!"
Anyways, WOOHOO about the 152.0!! Even if it is a fluke, now that you've seen that number you'll just be thirsting to see it again! Hehe. And
screw that snooty fitting woman!! I've had my share of experiences with nasty salesladies... One time I was shopping for Homecoming dresses with some of my friends, and we went to a typical department store (where I knew there wouldn't be anything in my size, but I tagged along anyways)--my friends were asking this lady for help, and she says something like "Well, I can help you, you, and you... But YOU *points at me* might have to go somewhere
else..." I wanted to slap her! Lol.
So ladies... I would like to put a disclaimer on today's weigh-in by emphasizing the fact that this number is
completely inaccurate, and I do not vest any legitimacy in it WHATSOEVER, because when I weighed myself this morning, I hadn't had anything to eat or drink in at least 12 hours... So my body was pretty much
completely empty/dehydrated/etc. BUT. The scale said
170.6. Um, WHAT?!?! So yeah, I am pretty much 100% positive that there's no freakin' way I lost 2.2 lbs in one day, LOL, and I'm keeping my ticker where it is, but it was kind of exciting even to see that number at ALL. It so was so surreal, like suddenly I was like, "Oh, hey, I guess getting into the 160s actually
is kind of a real possibility, isn't it?"
I've always thought of the 160s as being like, "normal people" territory--as in, I know of friends of mine that are normal-sized and close in height to me, and they're in the 160s... So I guess I feel like if
I were in the 160s... That would make me almost normal?
It's seemed so far away for so long that it's really weird to think that I could actually conceivably get there! But yes, I know I'm not actually that close yet, haha, and I'm sure I'll be back to 173ish tomorrow, or maybe a
little less. But yeah, it was still kind of exciting.
D*MN, I just have diarrhea of the mouth today! I am very chatty! I think I'm just jittery about my concert tonight, heh.
