The scale
I get so frustrated with my scale. I try and limit my weigh-ins to once a week, but I obsess and hop on more often. I torture myself over this ridiculous relationship. Why oh why do I do this? I get encouraged when I lose yes, but more often than not I am the exact same - down to the tenth of a pound. Then all of a sudden for no apparent reason (water!) I am up 2 pounds. Then it takes a few weeks to get back down to where I was again. In fact, I just looked at my weight journal and I am at the same weight I was in July! I feel better overall, but get so mad at the numbers. I just need to keep looking at longer periods of time and realize I have already lost 30 pounds this past year. Slow yes, but that was by simply making better food choices overall and not really dieting at all. Now that I am working out and “tweaking” my food plan with my trainer, I hope to speed up the process.
