Guest guest Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 The scale is a fickle friend. I pity people who are obsessed with the scale to the point where it determines whether their day will be good or bad. The scale is not trustworthy. A pox on the scale!!! I went up 3 pounds yesterday. Today I'm down one pound for a gain of two. HOWEVER, I know from my experience these last two years that it is definitely due to one of the following: 1) I ate salty foods yesterday 2) It's close to that time of the month 3) I always gain a few pounds for some inexplicable reason right before my body breaks a plateau and drops some weight 4) I haven't been drinking enough water. So I don't let it affect me in a negative way. I use it as a tool to remind me to watch the salty snacks and make sure I drink enough water. Meanwhile I just got back from the gym and I'm going out to the Macy's mega sale to treat myself to a new pair of earrings (a cheap $3 fix...about the same as a bag of chips!). I spent way to long living with low self-esteem. I sure as heck am not going to let a ridiculous scale take away my happiness and love of my ever improving body! Have a wonderful weekend everyone.
