I weighed myself tonight...with clothes on...after eating...AND it's that time of the month (sorry if that's tmi). I'm so dumb!! Now I feel allll...fat and gross. Despite my knowing all of the facts, it still messes with your head to see a high number on the scale. :-/

    I know how you feel girl... I'm tempted to go hop on the scale right now but I know I'll be disappointed and it'll ruin my whole weekend

    Don't beat yourself up - tomorrow's a new day and you will feel great in a few days when you debloat and loose all that extra water!

    If that makes you an idiot we are all in trouble :) remember that the water weight will come off with time and increase your water intake to help with the bloating (or Midol...it helps too). Keep it up and don't let yourself worry too hard!

    This is why I only weigh myself Monday mornings before eating in just my boxers and never when I'm on my period. Because I don't have a period, being a man.

    I usually do the naked A.M. post-potty, pre-food weigh-in,
    but I'll weigh at the end of the day once in a while just to get a sense of how much I tend to vary in a day.

    I use my A.M. weigh-ins for tracking purposes, but now under stand that I usually have a 3-4 lb range during the day.
    It helps me put things in perspective.
