Starving Kelly - I blame it on Twitter.

So yesterday I weighed in and gained +0.2. I call this my breaking even moment. But if I call +0.2 a breaking even moment, then I would have a -0.2 a breaking even moment. But I don't.

Hey.

I never said I was rational.

OK, OK. You caught me. I only sort of believe that +0.2 really is a breaking even moment. Therefore my need to rationalize my gain follows.

Here we go.

1. I had the hell flu the week before so my massive loss the week before doesn't really count. (Oh I didn't tell you did I? I lost 2.6, which is my biggest loss eva!)

2. It was very humid outside which poofed my curly hair out by 22.3 inches. And as everyone knows 22.3 inches of poof at .1 pound per 10 inches of poof equals .2 pounds.

3. Instead of my standard weigh-in uniform of cropped sweatpants and a wife beater (yes...even if it's 10 degrees Fahrenheit outside), I wore a t-shirt with sleeves. And as everyone knows each sleeve equals .1 pound. So...two sleeves equal .2 pounds.

4. I had no hot flashes in the middle of the night the night before the weigh-in, and as everyone knows, one hot flash equals .2 pounds of water weight loss. And no hot flash equals a water retention gain of .2 pounds. It's a fact. Look it up.

and finally

5. I blame it on Twitter. Sure blaming it on Twitter sounds far-fetched. But rediscovering Twitter and trying to keep up with a bunch of ladies who are live Twittering at some baby convention that I didn't even know existed is worth something. You don't believe me? Sit on your bum and try to follow the dialogue and see if you don't gain +0.2 pounds of non-physical activity weight gain.

Go on.

I dare you.

And while you're at it...why don't you tell me your rationalizations.

I need some more for next week as I try to explain away the finishing off of my husband's birthday cake for breakfast this morning.
