Let me just say that it totally sucks when that happens! I know how frustrating it is to see the scale move the wrong way. Please keep the faith. None of us gained our weight overnight so we can't expect to lose it overnight, right? A year from now it will just be one little blip along the way to your new, healthier body. :-)
Absolutely ridiculous! Yesterday, I ate only fruits and vegetables and drank only water and iced tea... this morning the scale says another 3 pounds! 6.5 pounds up in two days? And I've been "eliminating" like crazy. It's almost funny!
Are you under the weather at all? At the beginning of summer our family got a virus called fifth disease or slapped-cheek virus. I'd never heard of it before, but apparently it was going around in our area. 80% of adults are supposed to be immune, but I guess my dh and I weren't. Anyway, I puffed up like a water balloon when I had it. It was awful--swollen ankles, puffy wrists and hands, aching boobs. Yikes! Have you thought about taking a break from the scale for a couple of days? Why keep torturing yourself?

Thanks, Annie, for being so sweet and supportive!
I know I know.. it's crazy and stupid and doesn't make sense... 6.5 lbs in a couple of days doesn't make any sense.
