The last act of denial for a desperate girl: I have decided my scales must be wrong. I have two sets: one set is digital and the other is old school. I keep them on a bit of wood because the readings go squishy when they are on carpet. The old school set are saying Xst 0lb but the digital are saying Xst 2lb. This is totally why you're not supposed to weigh yourself outside of class! Maybe I should just chuck 'em out because they are doing me more damage than good.
I have a class tonight, so whatever LL's scales say is the truth. Well, I've followed the programme and drunk my water (ahem, most of my water) and that's all I can do. I will let you know what they say of course.
I must keep telling myself weight is just a number. If I stick to the rules, I have done all I need to do. It's not a big deal if it comes off slowly because at least it is coming off! If I have to stay on this diet for nine months a pound here or there is not going to make a difference. I will get there in the end. I'm in this for the long haul.
My clothes look baggier today but I think I must just be kidding myself. It's probably the angle or the way they've fallen or something. They can't just miraculously not fit if I haven't lost any weight, can they?
It's not even been 14 days yet. I need to stop expecting miracles. Let's see in a month how baggy my clothes are. I think I need to realise nothing is going to happen over night. In the words of the Smiths "these things take time".
