Being a Girl

So my weigh in this week did not go well.  I was up very significantly from the week before.  I noticed the last time this happened was the weigh in after I got back from Thanksgiving and had to buy a new scale.  I didn't have the excuse of a new scale this time, so what gives?

After some reflection I realized that I was starting my period...just like I was for this weigh in.  So there were two common denominators - a major holiday meal, and my period.  Combining the two equals a very discouraging number on the scale.  I have also noticed my feelings are...less positive than usual.

Typically I would look in the mirror and think "My stomach is looking flatter!  My hips don't look so big!"  But now that it's that "special time" I catch myself thinking more along the lines of "WHY AM I STILL SO FAT?  I AM GOING TO BE FAT FOREVER."

But.  It will go away.  My body will finish doing it's business and things will get back to normal and the scale won't look so awful....right?
