I hear you loud and clear... My mom per my brother's request, took me out to a chinese buffet for my birthday dinner. I made myself sit and eat 6 chicken wings w/skin before I could eat anything tempting. That way, I was at least partially full and couldn't over-do-it with the breaded, starchy, sugary items. Course, that doesn't mean that I'm not totally bloated from all the water that I'm retaining now... I'm holding like 5 pounds of water, eek!

This morning I had a dr's appointment and the scale was somewhat gentle but I could see the water weight

But the nurse said my weight looks great for my height! But their scale weighed me at 154.5 with all my clothes and whatnot. D** dr's scales!
