November 7th

What was I thinking by stepping on the scale today? Really, I do not know what I expected it to say; I knew it surely was not going to be good. I am speaking as if my scale has a voice. Going throughout the day, I was emotionally all over the place, because either my scale is becoming more of my enemy or the thought of standing on it, is causing me to become depressed.

Just because I step on the scale today, it opened a whole floodgate of other things to occur. For instances this question is for anyone; has this ever happen to you. You look in the mirror you see the face staring back at you; you know it is you; but you know for sure that could not be you. No way in heck have I allowed myself to be the big girl in the mirror again? Therefore, you brush it off as if it is somebody else is staring back at you. Well that happen to me today I even took a picture of myself using my cell phone and it was not a good site. No, I am not putting myself down I am a wonderful person with a genuine sweet heart and a love for people. However, maybe just maybe not enough love for me.
Okay back to the raging power of the scale; I have heard countless times that the scale does not lie. Therefore, the numbers I saw were the truth. The scale said 263lbs but my size 22 pants is still fitting ; trust me I am bragging that my size 22 pants are still fitting. Today brought out so many feelings that I tried to convince myself that until I am back in a size 24pants, I will be okay. I was fooling nobody but myself. I went through the last couple of days in my blog and realized out of the last six days only 2 were better than the others. I was expecting the scale to reflect my 2 good days and not the 15 years of bad eating. At the end of the day, I realize the scale was not only a revelation but also my reality check.

For the record, I did not throw my scale in the trash or out the window; it just made me want to try hard.
