Question I'm up two pounds.. or am I? Hmm.

Sooo, last night I kind of stayed up all night doing homework. I weigh in first thing in the morning on Sundays, but since I had stayed up all night (thus eating to stay fueled, but only some organic cereal & organic milk, then veggies and some nuts) I didn't know if I should weigh in or not. I knew I would be up regardless of what my weight actually was, but I weighed in anyway. I was up two pounds, which I kind of guessed would happen. I don't know if I should record the gain or just wait until tomorrow or Tuesday morning - or whenever I'm not so bloated.

Advice?

I know it sounds pretty simple, but I have this fear of not holding myself accountable for things and having that mess me up. I know I'm probably stressing myself out for no reason, but I don't really know how to handle this situation as it hasn't really happened before in my weekly weigh-ins..

SInce you are used to weighing in first thing in the AM after sleeping and not eating, it would probably be more accurate to weigh yourself again on Tuesday morning and record that.
However, if you are worried about accountability, go ahead and record this week's weight as a gain, and hope the scales show a big loss next Sunday. It's whatever you are comfortable with. Some people use a gain to motivate them to work even harder; while other will get discouraged and cheat, and thus gain more. Which type of person are you...handle it whichever way you feel most comfortable and can handle with the least amount of stress.

I tend to get a little depressed at first, but I end up working twice as hard. I just hate putting myself down for a gain when I feel like I may have lost or maintained. I think I will weigh in Tuesday..

I tend to be a creature of habit in terms of weighing in! I am definitely never waiting when it comes to homework again. lol
