The Weighting Game

So today was my day to step on the scale and see how I've done for the last 3 days.  My first weigh in totalled a whopping 190.2 lbs. 

I was expecting to have lost maybe a pound or two if I was lucky.  I even had a sneaky plan devised... when I weighed myself on Sunday evening I did so fully clothed.  So this evening I figured I'd weigh myself with my clothes on and then again in the buff.  I figured that I'd feel better about the naked weigh in and report that number to anyone who cared (and I assume/hope that you do since you're reading this). 

So I stepped on the scale having only removed my slippers (they've gotta weigh at least 1.5 lbs together) and when I opened my tightly squeezed eyes after hearing my newly acquired "Weight Watchers" scale's ominous beeeeeep I was startled to see that my current weight is 186.2 lbs!!!!!  That means I've already lost 4 whole pounds!  I even stepped on the scale a second time to double check and it repeated itself... 186.2 lbs!!! 

I don't know about you but I'm very motivated by instant gratification and losing 4 pounds in 3 days is as close as one can expect to get with instant gratification via dieting.

I was so pleased with loosing 4 pounds (I just can't stop saying it) that I didn't even disrobe to see my actual weight.

Now I know that the sceptics out there are thinking "What, was she only wearing one sock and saying that she was dressed, there's no way she could have lost 4 pounds in 3 days"  but I'm telling you it's true.  I wasn't wearing anything extraordinarily heavy on Sunday evening; skinny jeans (you've got to think it to be it), tank top, sweater, bra & panties; and today I'm not really wearing anything different; stretchy maternity pants (not as flattering as the skinny jeans), t-shirt, one of Neil's old sweatshirts (okay, one of his new good ones, but it's comfy), bra & panties.  I'm gonna say that the clothes haven't made that much of a difference.

But if it makes you feel better I'll start weighing myself this Sunday in the buff, I'll even provide the comparison weight between clothes on and clothes off.  But for now I'm going to bask in the glory of having LOST 4 POUNDS IN 3 DAYS (it just sounds sooooo good)!!!!!
