It's so silly what our minds can do to us on a whim. Last night, I was watching TV with my boyfriend, sitting on the floor and stretching my hamstrings, and I flexed my quad and made him poke my thigh with his finger. I was like, "Feel THESE muscles, baby."

And then this morning, I wake up and get on the scale just for "fun", and I see that same old number and feel terrible.
I've been in similar situations. Logically, I don't think I have a lot of weight I could possibly lose. That is, my weight is already pretty low but since I've got some flab, muscle will just come in and replace the fat and the scale probably won't change much at all. But for some reason, that still depresses me sometimes, even though I'm proud enough of my growing biceps to show them off to my boyfriend all the time.
