My scale is so, so cruel... - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

badassey · 02-16-2011, 10:07 AM

Okay so I just weighed myself - as I normally do on random days right after I wake up. I had a cheat day on Valentine's Day and wasn't expecting much, even though I only went 1,000 calories over my normal intake of 1,200. So truly not even a bad cheat day! But anywho... I get on the scale and what do I see?...

199! 199! 199!

I just about crapped myself! 199?

I've entered (and left) onederland on more than one occasion and every time I come back it still is like a "HOLY CRAP! I'M OUT OF THE 200s!!!!" feeling.

Of course, I wanted to document this moment on my cellphone and send it to my friend in a picture message. But I got too distracted whilst nearly crapping myself to take a picture.

So, I step on again...

203.4.

I try again... 203.4
Again? 203.4

...

Who knew a scale could be so cruel? Granted it's another few pounds lost, but still...

I hope all of your scales are kind to you, today, ladies and gentleman. If not, maybe my scale and your scale can create some kind of a scale army and kill the hopes and dreams of dieters everywhere!

Oh Hun I was so excited for you and then I kept reading. Well poo. Losing is losing though, yay! And let your scale know that I would like some company in the 190s thread, it's pretty slow over there

It happens, and it's always frustrating. But you'll be in onederland soon!!

I sometimes have the same issues. It seems to me the body likes to be a fickle creature when it comes to "weigh-in time". Probably water retention or something similar.

Whenever the little mechanical devil tries to get me down I like to soothe myself with the fact that if I felt like it, I could easily crush it!

My scale was being mean today too.. but it didnt even give me a good number before the bad. LOL.

Just wanted to add you are still SUPER DUPER close to Onederland! You can do it.

Darn that scale!

That is why I don't step back on the scale the same day after I weigh myself. I still say count it as 199. If it changes tomorrow when you do it again above 200...then I don't know. But kick the scale you'll feel better.

I try not to weigh myself for at least a month, that way I'm not getting upset at my weights constant fluctuation through out the day, and it's usually a bigger suprise.

Oh I wish I had the willpower not to step on the scale constantly - it's like an addiction!
