One week without the scale
Okay…so I have officially not weighed myself in a WEEK! That’s actually a record for me. Part of me is SUPER proud, and the other part is terrified to get back on the scale. So what do I do?
The part of me that’s scared just wants to get it over with…and the part that’s defiant wants to keep going. So when do I say that enough is enough? I still have weight to lose, and since I’m doing my best to adopt the Eat to Live philosophy, I would like to see how my body responds. I realize that I can look in the mirror, or grab a tape measure, but in my head it’s not the same. I haven’t been at a ‘healthy’ weight since high school…and I think that on some levels, I’m looking forward to doing a happy dance when I see the numbers on the scale going in the right (downward) direction. So, the question remains: do I weigh myself?
The answer is pretty simple: I’m too curious to NOT weigh myself. So here’s the deal that I’ve cut with myself: I can weigh myself tomorrow as an “end of month” weigh in. Then NO SCALE until the end of this month. I feel so much more relaxed when there’s not pressure to lose weight…I can just eat healthy and workout. I think that I may actually have had more motivation this week than I have in awhile! I’m excited to find out how I did this week-it will be a good gauge as to whether I’m on the right track. After that…no scale for 30 whole days. *gulp*
