I think I can do it ... I can rid myself of this obsession ... MY SCALE! I've been encouraged by so many vloggers & bloggers to put it aside while I continue on this path ... It did begin as a healthy motivator, being able to numerically measure my progress. And seeing it go down, made me want to work all the more to see it go even further ... but when one steps on the scale more than 3 times a day ... it can become quite counter-productive ... :/
Starting tomorrow ... I will begin measuring my progress via physical endurance levels, clothing size, etc. ... Ironic that I'm starting WeightWatchers on Wednesday ... lol ... but I've been told that the meetings aren't just surrounded by what the scale says ... and we don't just sit around and ummm ... watch our weight ... lol ...
So, RaShad is going to hide my scale tonight ... and we'll reunite in April.
woo~saaaaa ... I'm ready ...
Current Weight/Size: 165lbs / 14
Next Weigh-In (30 Days From Now): April 15, 2009

I did this recently too! My obsession was getting way out of control. I know it's about the scale sometimes. But it's also about how I feel and look too.
ReplyDeleteYes I'm tempted to ship mines to my bro's house! My fear is that I won't lose as much as I think I'm losing yet if I don't lose it throws me off and if I lose well, it makes it even worse because my brain says you can relax a bit now and I put that loss right back on.
ReplyDeleteHowever with working out now I can feel the loss in my clothes easily, with losing inches so it's hard but I'm going to have to do it. If it wasn't a good one I'd trash it or give it away:)
if I get on the scale, and it doesn't move down. If I know I've been busting my butt on eating right and stuff I just say to hell with it! If it doesn't move when I'm pushing myself I might as well be doing what I want for the same result. so i Can see where the love/hate relationship with our scales can be counterproductive. nice move girl and I LOVE THE TITLE!!! LOL .Tiff.
ReplyDeletePeez! LOL @ woo-saa. I know that was probably just as hard as pushing Dr. Ian to the side for Weigth Watchers. you'll be fine I promise. I hope shadie put it in a good place!
ReplyDelete@ anon 6:04am I can so relate to working (or not)based on what the scale reads in an adverse way. ~Tash
I think I am going to follow suit. Mine has been depressing me too. I don't do multiple times a day just 2-3 times a week. So I will do the April 15th thing with you too (a little less than a mo for me but whatever.) :)
