Hi, I know it's been a while. I just haven't been interested in sharing my life with the web- or anyone really. But rest assured, I'm doing really well. So I'm pretty sure I mentioned on the blog before that I didn't own a scale and would weigh myself at Superstore every once in a while. The store seemed to not like people using the bathroom scales in store and not bying them, so they discontinued the model that you could try out while it was still in the package. So I hadn't weighed myself since Thailand, I couldn't justify spending $40-50 on something that was going to tell me things I didn't want to know!
A few weeks ago the Walmart super-centre opened up across the street. Now maybe this is a little bit of lame, but on a rainy day, it's not a bad place to go for a walk. It's so big, I can get a 1 hour walk in without even realizing it. Last week I noticed their scales were only $8, what a deal! So I brought it home, hopped on and was delighted to see I was another 7 pounds down from my Thailand weigh in. I moved it from the hallway into my bedroom and went on with my day. The next day I hopped on and I was 25 pounds heavier. It was a dark day. 25 pounds over night? Was it PMS water weight? Had I really endulged that much at Shabusen? All my clothes were fitting as before, I kept scutinizing myself in the mirror, where exactly is this 25 pounds? For the next 5 days I weighed myself a couple times a day, and did a 5 day cleanse. The results? None! This morning in disgust, I moved my bathroom scale out of my room where it mocks me while I get ready for the day, and moved it to the hallway. I planned to take it to the storage locker on my way out. Afterall, if it was going to be that sort of a bastard, it wasn't welcome in my house anymore.
Like the truly obsessed person I am, I hopped on the scale again even though I had weighed myself less than 5 minutes before. So stupid, how could I possibly lose any weight in 5 minutes....? Magically I had lost 25 pounds in 5 minutes. All is right in the world! I moved the scale back on to the carpet, and weighed again, up 25 pounds! Why? I don't know.
