Hello Scale!!!!!!!!!!!

These last few days (okay- week) of cheating, I have cringed every morning when it was time to go get on the scale. A couple of mornings, I even tried to convince myself that I didn't need to weigh. Of course I did weigh, and of course...I did not like the results. Why torture myself you ask? I have no idea... I have ZERO will power!

I knew I did decent yesterday with the exception of the stinking orange soda. I still cringed at what the scale would say this morning. I mean- I did drink pretty close to pure sugar right at bed time. And, I was still up by 3.6 lbs. :O Yes, I know...HUGE ACK!!! I kept thinking of where I could have been had I not cheated...

I finally dragged myself out of bed and downstairs to the dredded scale. Imagine my SHOCK when it said that I had lost 3.8 lbs since yesterday!!!!! That actually puts me .2 lbs under where I was when I started my cheating!! Words cannot express my true excitement!!

Now, I just have to remember to keep moving forward!

YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Concepts to think about:
3.8 lbs is a lot to loose in one day, so I started thinking of the possible reasons why I might have lost that much in one day.

1) I had so much salt in my cheat days, that my body was retaining water. Once my sodium level decreased again I released some of the water.

2) I just got off my monthly cycle (TOM) I read that you will gain weight during that time, and then loose it.

3) I hadn't been drinking hardly any water the last few days. Yesterday I drank at least half a gallon. My water might have been holding onto some water because I wasn't giving it enough.

Really, the possibilities are endless- I am just glad it came off!
