I've learned that a daily weigh in for me is a sure-fire way of setting myself up for failure. It used to be I could be having a great start to the day but if I got on the scales and the number was up by even 1/2 a pound, my spirit would crash. The internal dialogue would start, "What's the use. I'll never get this weight off..." And to the fridge I'd eventually end up.For some, the scales is a form of torture. I know a woman who is, in my humble opinion, a little under weight but she gets on the scales and wants to lose yet another 5 pounds. She says the scales keep her honest and give her a feeling of control. Hhhmmm...
I say if you're that dependent on the scales, it may be time to put it away. I know for some of you this is scary. And that could be your cue. Believe me, the scales will always eventually give you "bad" news.
So, even though I had originally planned to weigh in on a weekly basis, I'm going to do it once a month. Yep! You heard me right. I'll weigh in on August 5th. I'm FREE!!!!!
