The Daily Chuckle from the Crazy Lady
All right all you ladies in the National Worry Warts Association - here's a little moral story for ya'll - about the dangers of worrying and freaking out.
Once upon a time, there was a crazy lady who lived in Reno. She started out her pregnancy with a little more cushion for the pushin and so was trying to not gain too much weight too fast, so she weighed herself twice a week - just to watch of course. One morning, she went into the bathroom to weigh herself, after her morning pee and before breakfast, same as always. Horror of horrors, upon trying to look down at the scale of the huge boobies the booby fairy was kind enough to send, she could see that she had LOST ten pounds since Monday! Gasp - imagine the fear and fright. She immediately ran to her ever growing stack of books, searching through them all for information with no luck. She grabbed her trusty laptop and searched the internet - only scaring herself more upon finding out that weight loss in pregnancy can be an indicator of diabetes. She grabbed her phone, ready to call her ob/gyn and demand that she be checked because obviously she had lost the baby, all the weight, etc overnight and missed it somehow. Before she could dial though, the wonderful urge to pee hit her and she ran to the bathroom. While peeing - she glanced down at the dial on the scale. "Hmmmmm - said she. That might have a more accurate reading if the red line started out on the 0 instead of seven numbers below 0!" So peace and tranquility reigned supreme once more in the little kingdom of crazydom.
The moral to this fractured fairytale - when your day has gone bad and you are kinda feeling wacked out - just remember - there is SOMEONE in this world who is crazier then you! LOL - Happy Friday ladies!!

I can't imagine WHY you ladies would think that the woman in the story was lil ole me???? I'm just sitting here trying desperately to look innocent ..... oops, maybe I shouldn't have written that there was a crazy lady who lived in Reno, curses, foiled again! lol I do my best to only get on those scales twice a week - after the morning pee and before breakfast - first, I don't want to check my weight any more then I absolutely have to - those numbers are big enough as is and its bothering me knowing they will go even higher - second - lordy - I freak enough as is without adding fuel to the fire - enjoy your weekend ladies

well i weigh myself probably 3 times a day lol. i dont want to , it is a crazy addiction.
AHH Rebecka I am having such a great day and that hilarious story fit in perfectly. You only weigh yourself twice a week......WOW I weigh myself about 4 times a day and even though I have always obcessed and therefore know my weight flucuates (SP) by a few pounds....SWORE I had diabetes because I had gained too much weight LOL could have been my big lunch LOL. Big dinner last night and chili cheese fires today at happy hour so according to the scale I have gained 3 lbs since yesterday LOL OOH yeah and my next Dr appt is in the afternoon after breakfast and lunch LOL I always use my 1st morning wieght when I chart it weekly LOL what will the DR think when she sees and afternoon weight.
DH is gaining weight we joked at the Dr last time about it....I had to pee ...Imagine that...and we joked if DR came in while I was at bathroom he would tell her her was there for his 4 mkonth check up

You're braver than me.... I do not own a scale; for I would freak myself out since the "booby fairy" delivered her treats before getting the BFP and I cannot see my toes as it is. It's funny though how you wake up one morning and you literally look like you've swallowed a watermelon. People are beginning to ask me when am I due? It's funny cause before I guess they thought I was just plain fat.
Have any of your husband's gained any weight? My DH has gained a whopping 15 lbs!!! That's 10 lbs more than me!

That is so funny!!!! Glad to know I am not the only one watching the scale go up..I have been sooo hungry and have put on some weight already...my best friend just said "wow you can tell"..I am short so that make it worse!! I always try to watch my carbs now I am eating 3 carbs a day and watching my stomache!
That's why I have a digital scale, lol....I am starting out a little on the healthy side as well, and weigh quite a bit just to make sure I stay on track. Loved the booby fairy, haha. You're a riot! Thanks for the laugh.
