When I was in the Navy and couldnt loose the weight from having my 1st child they Navy put me in a 'fat farm' for 4 weeks. What I remember most is seeing a sign on the scale. it read "I am not your higher power"
Wow
I must admit to an addiction to my scale.
I'd weigh myself before a shower and after (you weigh less after - can yuo believe? Wet hair and all)
before and after using the bathroom ... you get the idea.
The worst part is how the scale changed from one time to the next - .5lbs really can do some mental damage. Allows for a cheat (since I was SO good and STILL gained weight why cant I show something for it and have that (fill in the blank)? ... OR ... I was spot on for 3 days and havent lost an ounce so why am I saying no to that (fill in the blank)? ... stalls are worse.
So my plan is to weigh in every Monday as soon as I get out of the bed (nekid) and use that as my official number - TOM or no TOM, dagnabit!
I think this is gonna be one of the hardest thing to do but anyone can see the benefits to sticking to a one day a week weigh in when it comes to mental sabotage - right?!?
What are your plans??
