Daily "No Scale Stepping" Habit Cal
Posted: Sun Jun 13, 2010 3:36 pm
I'm just reposting this from my own daily check in thread as it is somewhat fit for a general discussion..
I was sick all week till today with a virus, so there's been no exercise.
I really haven't taken a lot of liberties with extra S's, aside from half a small frozen drink at Dunkin Donuts on my worst day (still proud I threw out half of it yay me!!) and therefore, I have thankfully, not gained anything this week..
Now that I'm living at my Mom's house again, and there's a bathroom scale, I'm finding I'm weighing myself daily again and falling into that trap.. Wow, that is a tricky thing to avoid, and I must say, I did have one day when my weight went up from eating a salty meal, about 3 or 4 lbs in one day and I went slightly mental seeing that.. Of course it went back down within a day or so, but frankly, after a year or so of not having a scale around in our apartment, I got used to the niceness of not seeing those annoying daily fluctuations.. They really do your head in, if you let them! So, I'm just gonna try my best to only weigh once a week, on Mondays, as I had done before.. I think i will create a "No weighing except on Mondays" Habit Cal, to help reinforce this, while I'm struggling with seeing that scale in the bathroom now every day, until I am immune to daily scale stepping again. I will give myself a "green" each day I stay off the scale, and on Mondays I will weigh and put a "yellow".
Hope you are all having a great weekend
