Walking on air

Drum roll please - ta dum - I hit 250, finally. My scale has been nudging closer and then jumping up again for a few days which was driving me nuts. I know it's just a number but someone posted recently about dropping below the 250 mark meant they were now closer to 200 than 300 and it made a strong impression in me and so I began to feel the same way. So what wasn't much of a goal ****lebrate every 10 pounds lost, not with food LOL) became an very important goal. And I hit is this morning.

Why is it when we are so close to an important goal, the scale just doesn't cooperate? I went to 250.5 and then jumped back to 251.5 and all around for the last week it seems.

Skylar who is thrilled with 250.

YEE-HAW!!!  I'm bouncing with ya!    

As for weight fluctuations, I think when they happen in the normal process of weight loss we think, oh that's just the scale being ignut.  But when we are waiting for a milestone event then that's the scale being hateful and hard to get along with!

 I love that cartoon - my scale definitely is not my trusted friend.

Scales are lying, deceiving, no good hunks of metal conceived by Satan to make us all get frustrated and ditch our diets cuz we aren't losing anything.  And yet we are all so obsessed by them.
