I have been logging in my food and my weight for about 4 months now. I do find that the awareness of what I am eating has been helpful…the scale, not so much.  The numbers have been going down, which is encouraging, but then we hit days like today:

Every morning after I use the facilities, I pull out the scale, from under my desk, carry it to the wood floor in the hallway outside of the bathroom, but on the bathroom light to illuminate the scale and I step on it. I will admit that I step on and off until I get a number that I like, frequently, removing garments to get closer to “just me” weight.

This morning was bizarre. I performed the ritual and got the number “1*1.6″. Following my usual ritual, I removed a garment or two and stepped back on the scale, only to get this result:”1*3.0”.  Apparently, I gained 1.4 pounds by removing my pajamas.
