Oh Goddamn.
So. Saw my new doctor today. She's nice, I like her.
Unfortunately, I got bad news, and more bad news.
First off, I seem to have developed high blood pressure again. I wonder how. I have to eliminate salt, caffeine, and try to lose more weight. I didn't mention my stressy little life, but I'm sure that affected it, too. Dammit. Dammit to hell.
Second, I discovered that there is a five pound discrepancy between my home scale ($6, Target) and the big fancy doctor scale at my doc's office. As in, the doc scale reads 5 pounds higher than the home scale (nekkid, so I can't even blame it on clothes). I'm inclined to believe the doc scale. Which means I'm fatter than I thought. Dammit. Dammit to hell.
The good thing is, though, that I am not suffering the ravages of time at the ripe old age of 27, which is what I had believed before, because I kept thinking I didn't look the same at my "grad school weight" as I did in grad school. Shit, I just thought I was getting old and having to work harder at upkeep and "carrying weight differently." Hah! My damn scale was just wrong! I really am fatter than I was then!
Of course, this means I have to actually get back there, now.
Shit.

Damn the scale. Damn it to hell.
From here on out, I'm paying attention to my trousers. They always tell me the truth.

danyel--yeah, it's the little delicious things that trip us up! I am once again in love with pumkin spice lattes at starchucks. I'll have to limit myself to one per week.
M--agreed! You know, since the end of my period yesterday, I seem to have lost five pounds of water? So now I actually am the weight I thought I was? My pants still don't fit like I'd like, though, and those will be my gauge from now on!
