Honesty

Its been awhile since I posted... and I will admit I have been dragging my feet.  I did however have a huge surprise today - literally made me laugh hysterically!
I have been gaining these past 2 weeks (tom) and sliding off the wagon.. its tough to break my 2 week cycle... good 2 weeks not so good for another 2 weeks -which is my main problem and why I am only maintaining.
Anyway, back to story - I just knew I was going to be up again this week.  I was totally into the "lazy" with no tracking, haven't gotten groceries (need them desperately) and then the power went out (oh gee do we have a bbq?) instead I bought large pizza's and ate on them for 2 days.  I had cut back on the chocolate but was sure slurping down on the no caffeine no sugar cola (with tonnes of ice) lol  
So when I stepped on the scale.... (I did have in my mind that I just might not go to this mornings meeting but I did - as too many people would miss me - and make comments next week)
Back to the scale - have you ever tried to push all the air out of your lungs to see if you could do damage control? rofl!  No I didn't do it but I thought of it... On the scale I go, wearing the lightest clothes I could find that were clean... the gal wrote down my weight and collected the money.  I didn't want to look cause I knew it would be bad.  BUT out of the normal, instead of folding the book back up and handing it to me she laid it down open - yes I glanced cause the gals in the meeting (especially my Mother who sits beside me) would ask how I did. 
I was SHOCKED - I BURST OUT LAUGHING and yes I SNORTED and yes I turned a lot of heads (those waiting to weigh in).   I was dumb struck (very rare for me)  I couldn't believe it - the way I had been eating for the past 3 weeks I figured it would show another gain as it had the last 2 weeks  I will never ever ever understand this body...
I was down
yes, DOWN
and not just a little bit...
I was down 1.4 lbs!!
