Poop. The whole 'eat X calories less than you burn and you'll lose Y pounds a week' is hogwash. Our bodies are not calculators and don't seem to subscribe to that notion, at least mine doesn't. It eventually all balances out, but it doesn't make me any happier when I've busted my butt all week and see that kind of result (or worse yet, a GAIN).
In my SP blog yesterday, I referred to our "previously abused and now confused" bodies. Shame on your scale! I'm sorry for the 2 oz. and I won't say "just wait 'til next week" or "muscle weighs more than fat".
Weight loss is a cruel process but you're a worthy opponent in the battle! Have a great Sunday!!
I say let's pummel the scale into submission and beat the snot out of it...that's got to count for some calorie burn! =o) My scale has had the EXACT same number for three weeks...and I mean to the ounce. I think it took a vacation and didn't tell me because it's deciding not to work. I find it hard to believe I haven't shifted in either direction in 3 weeks. Pfft.
Thanks for taking the time to comment! I appreciate thoughtful readers like you! If your comment doesn't show up right away, check back in a few minutes. I promise it'll get posted. The system can get a little glitchy. (Rude or spammy comments will be deleted. Fair warning.)
It's a shame anger and frustration don't burn calories.
ReplyDeleteChild, if they did, I would be Kate Moss by now! Especially after this week! HA!

ReplyDeleteWe are both in another lull it seems. It was a stressful week so lets hope we can come out of this next week with a big loss!
ReplyDeleteA loss is a loss is a loss!
ReplyDeleteI sneeze bigger than 2 oz.
ReplyDeleteI know, I know.....
ReplyDeletei haven't lost weight since last yr....well i have, but it's been 3lbs gain, 3lbs lost. so, essentially, i've been stuck since last April. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteWTF - 2 ozs! Girl, I feel ya! I hate seeing shiz like that...sheesh. Sorry the scale isn't cooperating. :-(
ReplyDeleteIf only a stern talking-to (the scale) would help! LOL
