As noted in my previous message, I’m not allowing myself to freak out about today. It wasn’t a bad day. I’m full, but I didn’t really overdo it, and that’s good. But I didn’t count anything, and I enjoyed it “normally”.
And I’m not going to punish myself my weighing myself in the morning and hating me for it.
So I’ve flipped it over. Adding obstacles, so it’s not easy to just step on, just to see.
Just because I don’t have a scale and haven’t weighed myself in a over a week does not mean I gained five pounds.
Just because there isn’t a scale doesn’t mean I gained five pounds.
The scale does not dictate my success.
I had this typed up last week after my scale ran out of batteries.
The only probably is, I couldn’t post it, because, what if it wasn’t true. I had to wait until after my weight watchers meeting when I weighed in.
How freaking craze balls is that?? Let me answer that… A lot.
With parents in town, I missed a week of weight watchers meetings, but when I went on Monday, I was down. 183 even. So a 3.2 loss in 2 weeks since the last weigh in there.
Generally, this means my personal scale is lower, but I haven’t known that since I didn’t have batteries. And I’ve gotten a little less crazy about the scale even in the past week, weird as that is.
When I went to pick up a prescription this evening I picked up a battery…
Yes I will likely weigh myself in the morning. It’s this damn 80 lbs by Oct 21st. It’d just be kind of awesome to get there. And it’s based on my scale, since that’s the starting number, it’s about the consistency. And the 183 weigh in just made it feel more feasible.
But, personal reminder:
Just like every other weight loss goal with a deadline. It’s okay if I miss it, as long as I get there.
Just because you miss something by a couple days or a couple weeks, is no reason to think that you have failed.
Repeat, it is no reason to think that you have failed.
I don’t know if its my scale or my apartment but I’m consistently weighing about 2 lbs more in meetings than I do at home. Right now, the only thing my scale has going for it, is that it’s the scale I first weighed in on, so the loss is the true loss.
Yet I can’t celebrate my 70lb loss with my WW mtg because I’m weighing in with a 68 lb loss. I know I’ll be pretty much the same this week, should be down a bit from last week’s gain, but I truly don’t know what it’ll be as it’s that different.
