Fact: You gained two pounds.
Fact: You are at your heaviest weight in three years.
Fact: This gives you the screaming willies.
Fact: You are still 25 pounds lighter than you were when you decided to start that delightful "diet."
Fact: You have another 35 pounds to go before your BMI moves from the yellow ("smile, you're healthy") to the orange ("DANGER DANGER OVERWEIGHT"). Not that BMI means jack.* Oh, and did you notice that you were never overweight to begin with?????
Fact: You've been working out a lot. You might have some MUSCLE that you didn't have before.
Completely subjective suggestion: chuck your damn scale.
*Did anybody notice how narrow the "overweight" category is and how wide the "obese" category is on those charts? I have a 40-pound range in which I'm "healthy," but only 30 pounds between "overweight" and "obese."
