Scale Rudeness

My scale is being contrary this week, and telling me that I'm up a pound, even though I haven't had more than 1300 calories a day all week. I know 1300 calories isn't super impressive, but it's made for some slow but steady weight loss for me. How could I gain weight eating 1300 calories or less? I used to consume 2000+ calories a day and remained steady for years at a time. If my band was tighter, I could probably manage with less calories, but I'm worried about getting stuck more often. Especially after my disastrous trip to the mountains.

So those offensive weigh-ins have just caused me to say "Well then screw you, scale. I'm having a brownie." This is all healthy behavior, right? Dreading tomorrow's official weigh-in.

  1. Awww try not to get too obsessed over the numbers and just keep doing what you're doing. It's not exactly a calorie for calorie automatic show ho type of thing (I realize that makes little to no sense but I don't know how else to say it). Your hard work will show :)

    1. I think it's more like mediocre work, which is what my scale is telling me :-)

    1. Mon, I totally ate the brownie. But then I got on the treadmill and worked most of it off. The scale is unimpressed with me.
