TW: Talk about weight
*
Dear Scale,
Why did you have to ruin my day?
The number increased since last week.
I thought I was doing everything right
but I'm now learning that I somehow fucked up.
I went from borderline morbidly obese
to "just" obese.
I lost weight consistently with varying amounts
for six damn months.
But now you're hurting my mental health more,
just by going up two pounds.
Why are you fucking with me?
What did I mess up after so long of progress?
Will you ever answer my questions?
Am I stuck trying to learn on my own?
Sincerely,
Me

I'm a Nutritionist and if you don't mind me asking, may I know what are things you're doing to lose weight? I can see if I can help you.
Water weight will do it every time. I hate my scale
And that is why I don't own one... ⚖️
