    Hesitant to change weight in siggy

    I hit onderland today but I am hesitant to change my weight in my siggy and mark my first mini goal because I had diarrhea last night. It wasn't crazy like going-all-the-time-virus-diarrhea but something I ate must have triggered it. I used to have IBS which cleared up a lot since I started this WOE.

    What I am trying to get at is, I hesitate changing my weight in my signature because I dont' know if it is a true weight. My goal for the end of February was to be in onderland and now that I am here, it is freaking me out.

    I weighed 198.6.

    Why is this freaking me out? This is a goal I have wanted for such a long LONG time! I guess I just feel like when I get food in my gut and stuff that I will be back at 200. I don't know...this is crazy.

    just dont step on the scale for a few days, then in a few days you will probably be at onderland anyways.

      I had decided with myself that I was going to weigh every Sunday but since the end of this month was a goal for me, I weighed today. I don't think I am going to weigh again until next Sunday. I just talked to my husband and he thinks I am silly because without the poop that would give me a more true weight. lol...men.

          I have not changed my sig in months. Every time I changed it, I gained a little. So my logic goes - quit changing the sig and you won't gain any more!!

          Even if you do gain a little back - no big deal. You are in it for the long run. A pound of disapointment here or there is no big deal.

            I say change it! You earned that Onederland goal. Weight will fluctuate slightly from day to day anyway so take that low one! Just weigh weekly or even less or youll drive yourself crazy like I do, lol.

              Change it!! You made it to your goal and you should celebrate it. If you go up a pound or two after you are able to eat normally again you'll lose it again in due time. You worked hard for it and whether or not having the "runs" helped you get to your goal the fact is you did it! Good job, by the way!

                  You've seen that weight on the scale - so good on you for changing it!! Ans CONGRATULATIONS on reaching it!!!!!!

                  I ALWAYS record a new low. Sure I know there is a good chance the pound just lost will very likely be reappearing for a while, but that's ok. It's gone really, just making a futile attempt to hang on It's doomed to fail, not me.

                            If you have no added weight from stool or urine that is your TRUE weight.
