Changes

Ok, so I'm not supposed to weigh in at night - but I feel bloated as hell today. I haven't eaten too horribly today, but for the past few days, I've probably had more processed whites (breads and pasta) than I have in months. I feel absolutely huge right now.

So I stepped on the scale at 10:32 at night.

283.5.

That's 283.5. With an 8.

Usually, I drop about 3 pounds at night, so that means I'm up near 280. That makes absolutely no sense to me. That means I've gained about 9 pounds overnight? That's not physically possible, is it? And that's assuming that I am going to lose my nightly 3 pounds.

I don't get it - I haven't eaten too bad. Calories have been reasonable - although not ideal, surely not 283.5 bad. If that sticks, I may very well lose my mind.

I may be going drastic here pretty soon. I need to get out of the 270's, but damn if I'm going the wrong direction. I've been thinking about going to a straight diet for a while, perhaps the whole meal substitution thing, I don't know. I have to sort things out, but if this scale reads anything closely related to what I think it's going to in the morning, then I'm throwing out the rulebook that I know and I'm going extreme for a while. Call it extreme, call it a 'diet', call it a detox - but I have to do something.

Let's knock on wood. But if the termites bite, I'm changing all the rules. I'll report back in tomorrow morning.
