WW Speedbump

Most of you know I joined Weight Watchers back in March to shed these beautiful new pounds that came with my little princess. Things had been going well, I had been losing every week (except one, but that's was well deserved because I had a great time gaining that week). So, I was trying to be good this past week (except for that Chik-fil-A Cookies and Cream Shake) and according to my scale at home, I had lost 2.2 lbs, so I was so excited to go to weigh-in. This would be my all time WW low and I was stoked. On the way to my meeting I called my husband and told him that I was trying to not be overexcited and would be content if the scale only said I had lost ONE pound. So, I jumped up on the scale with a smile in my head and was plummeted when I saw her write down +.6. What???? How was that possible??? I was so mad I almost skipped the meeting, but then I remembered how much they cost and figured I would stick it out. So, my leader could obviously see that something was wrong and asked me what was on my mind and I told her my disappointment. After turning down a few of her attempts to make me feel better, she finally said, "Well, it's a hot day, maybe you are retaining more fluid today than usual, will you accept that?". I said ok and I stayed for the meeting and was given new courage for the next week! I was still sad as I drove home. I walked in the door, my husband gave me a hug and then I heard the most wonderful noise in the world. Katelyn was fussing because she was waking up from her nap. I ran in there and picked her up and she gave me the biggest smile in the world!! I then was reminded that -2 pounds or +.6 pounds meant absolutely nothing!!
