Dear. Mr. Scale,

I know you’re just doing your job, but I worked really hard this week and all I got was a tiny loss this morning (.8 pounds)… I’m on week #2 of C25K and lifting weights again, so maybe it will just take a while for my body to readjust? Ugh, I haven’t made much progress in the month and that’s pretty discouraging, but it’s a new day and a new week, and I’m moving on… Please be kind to me next week, okay? Thank you for understanding…

Love, Jodi
