new scales make me fat.

by Sallyo on 09 Apr 2014, 08:33

This is a sad post. The cheap and nasty Kmart scales gave up the ghost when OH overbalanced on them last week. We ordered a new set from the supplier recommended by Amanda Salis, They arrived on Monday in a big delivery truck which pulled up outside our house. They are weighty and solid, not battery operated I would think. I waited until Tuesday morning, post fast, to weigh myself.

Sadly, they say I am 70 kg. Today, post non-fast, they said 71. This is sad because getting to under 70 was my Christmas Club goal which I met. Then I met the 65 kg goal which put my BMI under 25.

Everyone said our scales were dodgy. I knew in my heart of hearts that I was still overweight, fat.

I am trying not to be depressed because it doesn't alter the fact that I have lost 13kg of weight, gone down a size in jeans. But I do feel that I have to go back to where I was before Christmas, and now it's not summer any more.

Katharina is my fasting buddy.

You have made solid progress. And you will do so again. Hang in there. Add a note to your journal indicating the scale change and therefore weight reset. (This is not a gain, but a weight reset.)

Thank you Carleneruns. You are right. I haven't put on weight. Cracking under 70 was such a big moment though and it's hard to accept it was all an illusion.

I'm sure you will achieve your new goal soon and then you'll be dancing in the street wearing new clothes to celebrate. Onward!
