Hi Buddy.

I had a really emotional week. We had to call the police because our neighbors are actually insane and think we're harboring their black Pomeranian in our bathroom. I wish I was kidding. Also, my birthday was last week and I didn't think I ate out of control or anything, PLUS I exercised every day blah blah. I stepped on the scale on my Tuesday-weigh-in and I gained 4 lbs.!?!!!?!!!

I was like SHUT THE FRONT DOOR. No. I. Did. Not.

So then I lived in denial for approximately three hours before I came to terms with the fact that it had to be water weight. It had to. I went through what I'd been eating recently in my mind and I thought, maybe they were a little more sodium dense than I thought...!

But then I was all, NEVER GIVE UP. NEVER SURRENDER.

So on Thursday I got back on the scale and those 4 lbs. were gone and I was like ...what bitch. What's up. What's good. What are you gonna do. That's right. Nothing.

So, the point is, you just have to try and remember that the scale sits on a throne of lies. You have to know your body. Yes, I really did gain 4 lbs. Yes, most (if not all) of it was water weight from eating too much sodium. Just try to remember that not all is lost. Please try. Because if similar things happened to me like that every week, I would have given up 5 months ago.
