Getting rid of the scale…
at least for the next 4 weeks, which will not be easy at all! I don’t know about anyone else, but I place way too much emphasis on the numbers that pop up on the scale and to my detriment, I weigh myself like every 2 days which is really bad…psychologically speaking. Regardless of the changes and improvement that I’ve made over the last month, the numbers on that scale always send me reeling and it just really messes me up. So as hard as this is for me, I am putting it away in a place where I can’t get to it easily, because this is just absurd at this point. I’m going to focus on how I feel, how the clothes fit and measurements, which again will not be easy, but I will at least get rid of the terrible mind trips that I put myself through. We’ll see what happens!

I havent really weighed myself since I have been in Iraq. I wish I could keep my weight up and lose fat. Weight isnt that important; go by how your clothes fit. Go by how you look in the mirror. Go by how you feel!

I feel you on this one…you have inspired me to ditch the scale as well…maybe only once a week, instead of 7!!!

I know exactly how you feel spanishlady! I just finally broke my 150lb plateau. I weighed and I was at 147lbs!! So, now that I know that my weight can go below 150-I’m good.I am NOT going to worry about the scale anymore. It’s hard. You almost become obessed w/ it! It’s MIND over MATTER! IF YOU DON’T MIND, BABY~ IT DOESN’T MATTER! LOL!
