You read that right. I’m giving up my scale for one week. SEVEN days!! EEK! I was talking to a good friend today, and realized that I’m ADDICTED TO MY SCALE. This is definitely NOT GOOD. So I decided to take a week off. Yup! No weighing myself for one whole week. Starting now. I am one of those obsessive people (although I don’t often admit it) who weighs herself more than is necessary in one day. I wake up and weigh myself. I workout and weigh myself. I get home from work…you get the idea. So this has to STOP. For one, it’s not healthy. Our weight can fluctuate 2-5 pounds in a DAY (depending on water weight). So I’m essentially driving myself insane over a slight (NORMAL) change in the number. So I need to take a break. I honestly don’t think I’ve gone a week without a scale since COLLEGE. It’s time. This does not give me license to eat whatever I want and not workout. If anything, I think that I will be more aware of the changes in my appearance rather than focusing on the numbers on the scale. My journey toward fitness is more than just my weight…it’s a total ME makeover. I’m getting physically fit, financially fit, and emotionally fit. I love the fact that I’m learning and growing every day. I think that without a scale to rule my world, I may actually ENJOY exercise MORE (if that’s possible)! That’s a great thought! So I’m waving goodbye to my scale as I slide it under the bed…I hope it has a nice nap.
