Weighing in…
May 28, 2009
If you’ve been reading along with me for awhile (first of all, BLESS YOU!), you know that I decided to abstain from the scale for the entire month of May. Yup. NO SCALE. To a scale addict like me, that’s TORTURE. I normally weigh myself at least 2 times a day…. But not this month. I will admit that I stepped on the my scale
by accident earlier this week…well…it probably wasn’t an accident. It was probably my poor subconcious 
screaming in fear. Either way, I’ve only lost a pound. Which is GREAT!! That means that I’m officially 10 pounds away from my goal weight. It also means that I spent a month maintaining and didn’t freak out. I’m actually very proud of myself. I began to boycott my scale when a friend asked me how often I weighed myself. Ummmm…too much. ALOT. It was frightening to realize how completely dependant I was on that my scale. Now, I have a REALLY COOL scale. It’s pretty awesome, but that’s not an exuse to abuse it. So, after this month, I am going to make a concerted effort to avoid the scale as much as possbile. I find that since going vegan, I not only feel better, but I look better. I know that I’ve lost inches this month and gained muscle. I can see it in my arms, my legs and my abs. It’s pretty great. Not to mention that I feel AWESOME about the food I’m eating. No one got hurt…except the broccoli, and OH BOY was it delicious!! It feels SO good to know that I’m eating ethically and helping make my little part of the world a better place. It’s almost better than that number on the scale….okay, okay. It IS better. But that number felt pretty darn good (and besides, I haven’t seen a scale try to seduce me like that since HIGH SCHOOL!).
