I know that by the time you reach the Maintenance Phase of WW, your eating/exercising/lifestyle changes should be second nature, a piece of cake (no pun intended), old hat. However, I can't say that the Orange Kitteh or I have reached that zen state yet.
Case in point, the ridiculous and irrational thoughts we have prior to the day we go for our once a month Lifer Weigh-in.
This morning before heading off to WW, we started comparing the random thoughts we'd had leading up to the impending weigh-in. Here are a few of the ones I can remember:
I finally see the value of a thong, less added weight!
Are wind pants acceptable work clothes? It's too cold for light weight pants and jeans or cords weigh just too much....
It's weigh in day, no bulky jewelry. Definitely no Pandora or
James Avery jewelry! Do I really need my watch?
Have a headache, but will wait to take something.
Advil might make me retain fluids!
Did the lady say exhaling on the scale makes you lighter b/c you let the excess air out? Or did her friend say to inhale so that you are more airy when you are on the scale?
I hope the wii is wrong. The bathroom scale was sooooo much better.
Thirsty! But will drinking water now screw up my weigh-in?
Of course I shaved my legs. If nothing else there
might be less wind resistance when I step on the scale.
Will working out before the meeting make a difference?
It's nipp(l)y out. Need a bra with good coverage, but no added weight...
I hope the scale master does not ask me if I
want to try again, this time with my shoes off.
Do fuzzy Life is Good socks weigh that much
more than silky trouser socks?
These are just a few of the stupid thoughts we actually allowed ourselves to think, all in the name of WW and Weigh-in Day. Is it just us? Is it a kitteh thing? Or do you guys find yourself fretting about weigh-in day?
