The Math Myth - I KNEW IT!!!

I was going to pretend that I "forgot" that today was my official monthly weigh in and come back later in the week (after sticking to a diet of water, lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper) with: "Oops! I forgot to weigh in on Tuesday! Well the good news is....."

But I'm an honest person, so I am going to tell you the truth. Math is a myth. That is the truth. It's something I've suspected my entire life. It's the reason I had to take the same math class two or three times in order to graduate from high school, and it's the reason I majored in English. The only math I had to take in college was "Math for Liberal Arts" (which I did very well in, by the way). It is a complete racket. I KNEW IT!!!!

I have lost a whopping .5 pound since my last weigh in....a month ago. I've reviewed my calorie and work out logs...the deficit is there. The 500 calorie a day deficit IS THERE. My body does this every time. I get to the highest possible BMI that is no longer in the "Oh, you better put down those Cheese Puffs, girl!" range, and it's over. No more weight comes off. To get to the 150's - I have to do a master cleanse lemonade diet or something (kind of like I just started yesterday, shhhhh!), and I'll get below 160, but it won't last.

For the first hour after I weighed myself, I slammed stuff around. Then I got over it. I think now I'm just going to keep on keepin' on, as several of you have said. Thank you for that.

Some say that if you try and don't succeed, you fail. Other people would say that if you try and don't succeed, you are still successful because at least you are trying. I don't know if I feel like a total success today, but I don't feel like a failure either. I'm healthier, I've lost a couple of inches. I still have some definite goals that I will reach.....eventually. I'll just keep going in this direction. I'm living a good life and enjoying myself, and I'm not gaining weight. So that's something!

Addendum to my original post:

Dear Math,

I'm sorry I was so over-reactive. I know it's not your fault. It's the Law of Thermodynamics that is clearly flawed. I should have tossed out that no good scale and left you out of it. I shouldn't have lashed out at you and I'm sorry. I didn't mean to fractionalize you or make you feel < (less than).
I don't always understand you...and it's hard for me to trust sometimes.
We're good now?

Sincerely,
Eline
