I Think the Scales are Lying

I have been weighing-in on a Thursday which has been going ok, but after a few days of tears and food, yesterday (Sunday) I decided to weigh myself and WHOA! a 2.6 kilo gain in 3 days, which put me at 102.5 kilos.  That's what the scales said anyway.  I believed the scales because the last couple of days I have been feeling really uncomfortable in my own skin.  As disappointed and upset as I was with myself I decided to wear it, start afresh and use it as my official weigh-in, therefore, changing my weigh-in day.  

I used to weigh-in on a Sunday and for some reason I had more success.  I think one reason is because of the fact that I had to stand on those scales on Sunday morning, it made me very careful with what I ate on Friday and Saturday - the weekend.  What makes the weekend so special anyway?  I know for those that work full time, it's their time to let their hair down and relax a little, but for me, it's just like any other day.

I don't work cause I can't afford to.  I know that sounds really weird, but for me to work I would need at least $990 a week just for child care fees.  Putting 3 kids into child care is not cheap.  Plus my husband works every Saturday so weekends are not that special for me so why do I get that it's the weekend, lets party attitude?  Maybe it's from years of working, but for now it's just a normal day and it's something I have to get used to and weighing in on a Sunday really helps with that.

Yesterday we had tickets to a circus (where I applied my 25% principle with Fairy Floss and Popcorn) and while staring at my limited choice wardrobe, I decided to go with my old faithful pants, the problem with ol' faithful is that they don't fit me if I weigh over 100 kilos, but I decided to put them on anyway expecting to take them off immediately and go with the next size up, but to my delight, they fit.  

"Geez you've bah-looo-nd as of late"

I expected my pants to look something like this, only not as attractive!

My ol' faithful pants are very fussy and right on the cusp of sizes so they are a fairly good indicator to me that the scales were lying - I'll just have to wait until next Sunday to find out for sure.
