I Was Alright for Awhile

Ate nothing. Walked 10 and a half miles. Gained a pound.

That’s not possible.

And yet.

Whinged to everyone who’d listen.

Christina: “You’re in starvation mode. You have to eat.”
Me: “OK, but still. Where did the pound come from?”
Christina: “Eat!”

Hubby: “It’s the humidity. It’s causing the scale to misread your weight.”

Kelley: “Maybe you’re sleepwalking and sneaking food out of the refrigerator in your sleep.” (Actually, that may be the winning explanation; it’s the only one that makes scientific sense. Except that I still can’t get down the stairs without nearly breaking my neck when I’m not asleep. Seems unlikely I’d negotiate the stairs safely while unconscious.)

Robin: “Your body can’t just ‘tell’ itself that it’s starving. It’s not like you carry a spare brain in your butt that secretly plots with your cells. And even if it could talk to itself, it can’t make fat out of air... but nothing else makes sense, so I guess it's just magic.

Johnny Walker: “Maybe the scale’s miscalibrated. Stop weighing yourself.”

Me: “Sob.”

  1. I really think it takes your body awhile to catch up. On "The Biggest Loser" t.v. show, those contestants work out 7 hours a day, don't cheat on their diets, and some weeks even they gain weight. Hang in there and give your body a chance to adjust to your new lifestyle. You're doing great!

  2. Look at hormones and water retention. Honestly, I gain right around ovulation and menstruation. (TMI, I know...) but at least it might explain it all.
