Broken scale

There HAS to be something wrong. I have barely eaten all week (due mostly to stress) and my scale says the same weight. Does anybody else ever have the sneaky suspicion that 'It's got to be the scale.' I find myself blaming the scale at least once a week!! I am mostly concerned cause I go dress shopping for the first time this Sat, and I guess I was looking to drop a few pounds beforehand.

do your clothes fit any different? It is possible to not drop weight,,,,,especially if you are not eatting. You body sometimes think that when it's not fed enough it's starving....so it hold onto fat because it's not sure when the next meal will come and it results in a slowed down metabolism. that is why it's so important to eat breakfast and even better to eat small meals all day long....to keep the metabolism boosted.
