Ok I admit it...I'm in hiding. Hiding from the Big Bad Scale. The scale that will tell me my weight. But I have a pretty good reason...I ate...alot this weekend. Ice cream for brakefast. Ice cream for lunch. Ice cream for dinner!

Anyone else?

As your motivator I'm very disappointed! As a person, I also ever so slightly overindulged this weekend, so you're forgiven. Go weigh yourself - I suceeded in piling on 5lbs - huzzah.

Sometimes it's not as bad as you think. I was also hiding from the scale after a few nights in a row down the pub, but, I ended up losing weight (I have NO idea how). Just do it!

Hey, we've all been there. Sometimes you know the truth, but it's not real until you see it confirmed by the scale. Either way, though, you just have to suck it up and go through with it. Like Stacy said, you might be surprised in a good way (although when you "lose" weight after drinking it's generally due to dehydration and corresponding loss of water weight). I did the same thing this weekend - just a little extra here, and a little extra there really added up. But you can't move forward if you're in denial. Just do it! Then at least it will be over with.

Ok well I'll go weight tomarrow morning. Since I've already ate. I'm going to guess that my weight it about....oh 145 pounds? Hmmm well I did run the past couple of days so at lest I'm keeping that up.

Plus that will give me another day for it to go down. hehe. >

i hide from the scale, too, but like stacy, when i finally do step on it i'm always pleasantly surprised.

Last week was pretty bad for me. The weather was horrible, and I wasn't able to get out and run at all during the week. On top of that, I had a friend coming in to town, which meant going to eat at a local place that serves bison. The next day, I had a friend leaving to live in TX, which meant a big get together at a local steak house, with way too much beer. In the end somehow I managed to weigh exactly the same as a week earlier. I got on and off the scale a couple of times to make sure it was working right.

Just go ahead and weigh yourself. The worst case scenario, you gained weight, now you have a personal example of what happens when you give into your cravings, and that should make you more resillient to them in the future.

Plus, it's great to watch your weight come down again quickly as the new "temporary" excess weight falls off.

so don't keep us all in the dark here, how did you do?

Ok here it goes...144. I gained a pound. Drat. Oh well I can loose it! I ran four miles today! And then I ate a reeses...and a soda...
