WEIGHING IN ON WEIGHING IN... Obsessed with the scales?

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!!!!!
