I completely understand why they say you shouldn't weigh yourself every day. It's discouraging when you have a day that has a weight increase. Today I'm up 3 pounds. Three pounds! How did that happen? I don't get it! Three pounds is a huge increase! All I ate yesterday was some crackers, yogurt, and a 6-oz smoothie. How could three pounds just suddenly appear overnight, especially when all week I've been losing at least a pound a day? Ugh...it's not fair. Not fair at all. The Weight Fairy pooped on my party, and I'm am totally not her friend today.I drowned my sorrows with some creamed chicken for lunch. I'm still not able to chew anything, and the chicken was in small enough pieces I could swallow it whole. I had some mashed potatoes, too (no gravy, of course). It was nice to have something substantial in my stomach for a change. It's been a couple of weeks since I've actually felt full. I've done some walking today and some leg lifts and squats. It's only mid-afternoon, so I'm sure there will be more I'll do before the day is over. Three pounds gained or not, my slacks are beginning to feel a bit loose, so whatever I'm doing is at least working a little, and I want to keep the momentum going.
Today's Tip:
Obviously, the people who say you shouldn't weigh every day are right. Listen to them! Pick one day a week to weigh in, and then don't give in to the temptation to step on the scales in between times. Trust me -- it really is a morale-buster when you have a day that's not good! Just stick with the once-a-week routine, and remember that slow and steady wins the race.
