Every time I weigh myself I think of this line from Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion. If you haven't seen this epic movie then I will give you a quick rundown of it's story. Two ditzy blond girls grow up together in Tuscon Arizona and move to LA together. They remain best friends and roomies for years. Romy runs into a classmate one day at her job and finds out that they have a ten year class reunion coming up. When they fill out their bios on what they have done since graduation they get depressed and realize that they have sucky lives (in their minds). So they hatch a plan to make their lives more awesome.
At one point they are working out at a gym and Romy steps on the scale. She gets mad because after busting her ass she has gained a pound. She, understandably, gets mad about it so Michelle who is trying to be the ever helpful friend says, "Did you remember to subtract 10 pounds for your shoes?"
I thought of this quote when I weighed myself today. According to the scale at the gym I have gained a pound back. My first thought was a bunch of expletives which I probably shouldn't post here because we will be here ALL day. My second thought was what am I wearing different from last week that would add on weight? My next thought was DAMN YOU PERIOD AND MAKING ME RETAIN WATER!!!! My last thought was I wonder what my weight would be if I checked it sans clothing. I would do this but I have a feeling I would get funny looks from the other gym members.I also don't want to see people gagging at the sight of my cellulite.
I promised myself that if I had a bad weigh in I wouldn't beat myself up over it and I won't. Does it piss me off? Of course. I am human and a girl who is strongly powered by my emotions. Do I want to punch something? Hells yeah! Oh Rich..... Come here...... :)
Current weight is 186.

Google "delayed onset muscle soreness." That's your pound, right there. Sore muscles grab water in the healing process. Plus equal volume of muscle weighs more than fat and I'd bet that you're already building muscle tissue. I can almost guarantee that you're not actually gaining fat. Start measuring (arm, waist, hips, thigh) and you'll see those #s shrink a lot more than the #s on the scale, I promise!
I would say you are right on the different clothes weigh different amounts too!!
Yeah I was planning on measuring my girth (waist and boobs) about once a month. I don't want to do it weekly since I don't think that it will change fast
