I'm glad it's Friday. I'm moody as hell, though. It's that stupid scale. It needs to be thrown away or pulled out no more than once a week. I just want to throw it across the bathroom in the mornings. Yesterday I was happy to see 112.4 instead of 114.5, but this morning it said 116.0. TOM is just getting over with so I know it's not that. I'm drinking all my water, exercising and being a perfect angel with food. That is why I am so frusterated. My body used to be predictable and now I feel like I have no control whatsoever. Maybe being 110 pounds is no longer obtainable for my age...
For the next week my goal is to stop getting on the scale every morning and reduce it to once a week. It is affecting my mood way too much.
My 25th birthday is tomorrow and for some reason I am really not excited about it. Birthdays used to be so much fun. We don't get to celebrate tomorrow because my friend is getting married in the afternoon. My family will celebrate on Sunday at Jimmy Mac's Roadhouse so there's more yummy food to break me apart. I definitely don't want to celebrate my birthday with fruits and veggies.
Sorry for the venting! I really do hope that all of you have a good weekend!

Happy Birthday!
Happy early birthday. You know the good choices you can make when you go out. Enjoy, but not TOO MUCH! Oh, and throw your scale away!
There must be a fake full moon today because I've been moody and tired as well. I was at friend's house and all 5 kids were whiny and cranky and getting into trouble. Hope you had a better evening and enjoy your birthday. You're only 25 once. I enjoyed that age a lot. I would stay 25 forever if I could.
I hope you start feeling better soon.... it's your birthday!!! Sorry about the scale. It can be so frustrating and yes, it really does affect your mood. (((HUGS)))
i know this is hard to hear when the scale is being so cantankerous, but it is actually much MUCH better to be doing all the right things and not seeing results than to be binging or not exercising.
what it means is that the scale is just lagging your healthy changes a bit, but when it catches up, boy will it catch up! having said that, i know exactly how you feel. that scale is really super annoying sometimes, but don't give up on it yet =) just keep writing through it and don't apologize for venting. that's what the blog is for after all! it's nice to hear that we all go through the same things =)
oh my gosh, i forgot to write HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Guess what, we are now the same age. Welcome to the mid 20s! Haha, super exciting, I know. Even though you have a wedding today, you can still celebrate, and it doesn't have to be with veggies only. Can you maybe go out for a single serving (only!) of bnj's frozen yogurt? or buy a new video game and play it with future hubby? take care!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I hope it was a great day for you! You have worked so hard to get to where you are today. Do not stress over a gain and loss here and there. It is normal to gain, then lose, then gain. Its the roller coaster of life and it is perfectly normal. You are watching what you eat and that is what matters. You deserve to splurge every now and then. You earned it! HUGS!
*opens door* im right there with ya! I hate that scale and then sometimes I love it! Its a love hate relationship. Don't worry you are doing everything you can and giving your best and that is what is important! So don't give up even if the scale tries to put you down, keep on going, just look at how far you have come! You are ringing in a new year with a healthy attitude! Congrats and Happy Belated Birthday!!!!!
Be thankful for another birthday to celebrate and just get over the scale. My scale reads that I gain ten pounds every weekend and I just keep doing what I do all week and by Saturday it shows a loss. You are living a healthy lifestyle and that is what really matters. The fluctuations are always going to be there because you are a living breathing person. Use the fluctuation to motivate you without letting it destroy your outlook on life. I hope you enjoy your birthday because we only have a limited number in our lives that we can celebrate and the ones in the twenties are a lot of fun! You are an inspiration to me and i look for your blog all the time to remind me that the healthy lifestyle changes that I am making will bring me back to my old fit self. My choice in life over the past decade was to be fat and now it is going to be fit. Your choice was to be fit and you are fit,so stay positive and be happy because you have worked hard to be healthy and you will continue to be healthy as long as you don't ever give up on yourself. Success is built on failures so look at a negative reading on the scale as a building block to your ultimate and continuing success!
