So yesterday afternoon I was riding high.  I had just come home from my business trip and and quick spring break vacation.  I decided to pull out the evil scale to see how I was doing.  I was excited to see that I had made significant progress.  I currently have 2 dietbets going and after yesterday’s weigh in decided to make another dietbet.  Making another dietbet at the halfway mark of the current one was my way of insuring I stay on target even after these current dietbets ended.

So my weight last night last night 228.5, this morning 230.2, 1.7 pound gain overnight.  The scale is so evil.  While I quickly tried to regain control in my head I analyzed everything I had eaten in the last 12 hours.  I had chicken breast, pickles and sausage this morning, that’s it.  Usually I weigh a little lighter in the morning.  Water retention and a big poop is all I can come up with as an explanation, dang it!!!  But I regrouped and took my own medicine, the scale gives me extreme emotional highs and lows and in the end it’s just a big a-hole.  I am doing everything right.  I concentrated on my wins in the last 12 hours, no Easter candy last night, no cinnamon rolls my kids had for breakfast this morning.  So I will make my next choice a good one and move forward!  I can, we all can…
