Pouting Naked
I feel like Bridget Jones. Last week, I lost 1.5 lbs without even trying this week, I not only followed the diet, I tried to keep my intake to under 1800 calories/day. And the results, well, let the numbers speak for themselves:
Starting Weight (June 2006): 186 lbs
Current Weight: 164.6lbs 168.0 lbs
(cue Bridget: terrifying slide into obesity--why? why?)
Short Term Goal: 150 lbs
That would be a gain of 3.4 lbs. For no reason. All this past week I was hypervigilant. And my reward was to gain twice as much as I'd lost the week before by being especially careful to follow the damn diet. Nothing is as demoralizing as that. Nothing. Even knowing that my pants fit better than they used to and seeing the slimming of my face doesn't help.
This is why I avoid scales.
