My Scale is a Monster!
Ok, yesterday was a bad emotional day. I did ok, but not wonderful. I was filled with doubt, hurt, and insecurities all afternoon and evening. I did good until after work, then I think I cracked. Had two pieces of cake for the sole purpose of feeding my emotions. Not good, but they were small pieces, and I didn’t eat the whole flippin cake, so I get a small amount of credit for that.
I have surgery tomorrow morning, so I’m a little stressed about that. Hubby has been very busy working this week, so we haven’t had the proper amount of time together. That would stress me under good conditions, but we are still on very rough water. It is about more than I can bear emotionally. It just all came crashing down on me yesterday.
Ok, the part where my scale is a monster. I have been faithful on watching what I eat this whole last week, been getting more physically active. Notice how I didn’t say exercise? I’m swearing off that. I’m trying to change me instead of dictate exercise. The lil monster refused to budge all week. Neither up nor down. Yesterday, bad food.. and a 4 lbs loss. Not the proper message to be sending me!! I hate that little monster!!

My scale broke this summer - it was just a factor of the humidity in the bathroom rusting out one of the springs - but it just happened to happen when my husband stepped on it. It made a clunking sound then refused to register any weight. He brought it out and threw it in the trash. Me, not knowing it had broke, said, “Throwing the scale away isn’t the answer.” He said, “I broke it. Lying piece of shit got what it deserved.”
I feel for ya sweetie. I have been where you are. Remember that stress can do lots to your body. It can throw things off. I hope your situation improves.
Tricky lil’ monster. My scale is in time out! And will be there for awhile. I have better ways to tell if I am healthy. Sounds like you hit a bump in the road…but the road you have been on seems pretty darned healthy. Congrats on that.
Surgery would make anyone stressed. Last summer I was in a lot of pain and had to have an MRI. I practiced stress reduction…focusing on my breath, exhaling my fears, and inhaling confidence in my body to heal and sit without too much pain during the MRI. I had been in a lot of pain and didn’t think I could make it being as still as I would have to.
When the time came for the MRI, I started to practice it again. I had NO PAIN! The mind is so wonderfully powerful.
Good luck!
I tried to leave a reply and lost connection…
I have also had the scale reward me for being a “bad girl”. If I dont get right back on track tho it catches me. Good luck with the surgery…hope you are ok.
Yeah girl, at least you didn’t eat the whole cake so that’s one in the score column for you. I feel for you girl. I hate relationship problems and the kind that involve trust are the worst / hardest kind in my opinion. Hang in there the best you can.
That scale is a monster…it would help if it was logical..but its not.
I want to say, a piece of cake or two isnt the end of the world…I just hope you enjoyed every bite! I had a piece yesteriday and I ate it slow..savored it! lol
Well, I hope things work out well with both the surgery and hubby. Good luck! Recover fast!
Love Debbie
