oh come on (part VII)
I actually gained 1.4 at WI this week. Unbelievable. I know this sounds like complete bullshit, but this one scale they have there always seems to be off. Always. Of course it was the one I ended up using this week. If I had been eating chili dogs all week, fine, but I hadn’t, and for once I’m saying fuck the WW scale, I’m trusting my own scale. My sister and I are going to weigh ourselves at one of those GNC scales today, so I’ll have some data to compare. Which sounds like I’m some kind of fatty scientist. All I really want is a goddamn reliable number. I felt thinner this week, too, so I’m inclined to believe WW is full of shit. But maybe that’s wishful thinking. We’ll see.
Eating lately hasn’t been too bad. Not perfect, but not so bad. It’s funny how a bad WI can send you running for taco bell. Or maybe that’s just me? I wasted like 12 points on a burrito the other day. So not worth it. Anyway, I’m going to double check on that other scale today and see what the real deal is. Either way I’m going to have to keep on trucking, so I might as well have a perfect day today.
I’m going to buy a bathing suit this weekend. Buying a bathing suit is probably the worst exercise in self-esteem building you can possible do, but unfortunately it’s necessary. I’ll never understand why they insist on making 80% of the size 16 and up bathing suits bikinis. Tankinis are not the fat answer to bikinis, people. It’s still a 2-piece, and it’s prone to riding up on you. Pointless. I’d really rather not have people think I’m trying to show anything off. I also don’t want to have to worry about yanking my top down to meet the bottom while I’m trying to swim. Then there’s the grandma bathing suit with the skirt/shorts attached. I can’t decide which is worse, wearing a tummy-exposing Tankini in a size 20, or wearing a grandma skirt bathing suit (in black only, of course) at age 22. I think I’ll have to go with my old standby: one piece with board shorts and a t-shirt on top. It’s kind of funny that I actually wear layers in the water. God forbid I’m trying to flee a shark attack or something, and all my articles of clothing slow me down. At least my bloody carcass will be nice and covered up.
Please let the GNC scale prove that WW is on crack.
