Woo woo woo it'll be alright; Don't Sweat the Small Stuff. . I know you hear it all the time but you can't control someone else's thoughts, action, deeds, misinformations, or miscommunications.
I always get names of people I talk to so if a problem or issue arises I can refer back to them. If you have the employee's name I would bring that to management's attention for further customer service training in the future.

@ Diva, you already know  @rare, believe-it-or-not I did share the name of the gentleman who told me to "come on over." The bank lady replied "oh, he must've thought you were a member." I informed her "actually, I specifically asked whether the fact that I'm not a member would be a problem at all." She totally didn't care. I think another reason I took everything so personal was that my air-tight logic was meeting with no success. I felt like Damie or somebody. My inner control freak was screaming "but I'm making perfect sense!!! Why aren't you fools acknowledging this?!?!?!" Also, I have PMS. LOL. |

lol @ Rare! I didn't mention that first because I didn't want the existential point of my musing to be lost, lol. Also, I never used to have PMS. I still don't get cramps or cravings or anything, but since I turned 24 or so, I can notice little cyclical changes in my body and sometimes my mood. It doesn't suck entirely, but it would be nice if my body would quit changing every couple years at its own whim. Do mean deal with such a thing? What of theirs fluctuates frequently throughout their lives? Hairline? Sex drive?

So I got on the scale this morning (I weigh in once/wk) and it said I gained 3 pounds. Now, I was NOT expecting that being that I've been eating beautifully, drinking water, working out like I'm Jane Fonda or somebody and at present, I don't have an inordinate amount of hormones bouncing around in my bloodstream. I wish I didn't put so much stock in that little number. But I do. And now my mood is kinda jacked up. Not even gonna lie.
Incidentally, as soon as I walked into work this AM a group of ladies gave me all these catcalls "girrrrl you lookin good! You showin off aintchu?! Losin all that weight! Get em!" Did I take the compliment? Of course not. I relayed my bathroom-scale chronicles and popped each and every compliment balloon that was lobbed in my direction.
I feel great. And let's not lie, I LOOK great. I'm much more fit and have much more stamina than ever before. I'm committed to healthy living and make wise eating decisions but that little 3-digit LCD display? It makes me crazy. What is WRONG with me?

Word @ Diva. The dude stopped by my office just now and I told him about my scale woes. He gave me the muscle/fat speech, shot me some dap and kept it moving. LOL. He's good folks. Whoever snags him when I'm done is a lucky chica.

I remember when I lamented to Black Twitter that I lost l freaking pound after a month of working out...
...there was no love.
To date I have lost 20 lbs (respect my weight loss gangsta) but I had a moment there where I rebuked the entire branch of science known as Physiology. No way I go to the gym burning 700 calories a pop drinking 40 oz of water, and my ROI (return on investment) is a putrid 1 lb weight loss? Naw, kiss my intellectual a$$, you gon' give me more credit than that.
Then after awhile I sat down and did the fat/muscle argument. I freely admit, I also did not convince myself... initially. It was true, but I wasn't trying to hear that, I was trying to see that little analog scale validate my month long suffering, and it wouldn't.
I didn't appreciate that.
But later as I was looking in the mirror I could see where there had been fat before was gone. There was no way I didn't get some benefit of an entire month of working out, I could see it, I could even feel it (I don't have any pants or belts that fit anymore) but I just couldn't weigh it.
So I stopped being pissed about the 1 lb weight loss, because I remembered that the scale can only measure the downward acceleration of mass - whether that mass is the result of fat or muscle, the scale doesn't care. That's why it's a bad metric to use. You have to measure yourself. If you are working out and eating right you ARE making progress, regardless of what the scale says. You ARE making progress.
Let me break it down like this, the scale is the devil, and the devil is a liar
Can the church say Amen?

I was good until the end. Yall are nuts.
I feel you, though, Leja. Lawd knows I go through my "I weigh what?!?!" woes after enduring the most strenuous of strenuous workout and exercise plans. I can't fully comprehend why I can see the change but my scale can't.

It would be different if EYE could see a change in the mirror, but I can't. To me, I look exactly the same as I did 50 pounds ago. This is obviously not true as I no longer fit any of the clothes from back then (and have donated each and every garment to charity), but I see me (naked as a jaybird) every day.
Incidentally, a lady whom I've never met--but who evidently works in my building--stopped me today in the hallway to say "I'm sorry, I don't want to offend you but can I say something?" I was scared, lol. But she actually said "it looks like you've lost weight and I just wanted to say you really look good." LOL. Welp.

btw, the scale is retarded. I moved it several inches to the right and gave me a completely different reading. I pushed it underneath a dresser where I'll be unable to access it. For my sanity.

lol @ a second grader. Body dysmorphia is when you think you're unattractive right? I don't think I'm unattractive. In fact, my self-satisfaction and inability to notice changes in the mirror is how I gained so much weight in the first place, lol. My clothes were constantly getting tighter and I'm all "that's weird. Clothes must've shrunk. Clearly I look the same as always" LOL
Thanks for the kudos, mamacita!
