8 lbs down
Yay! Stepped on the scale today and I'm down 8 lbs :) It's coming off slowly, but at least it's coming off!! I'm keeping up with the Wii Fit and still really, really like it :) And this is even AF's week to visit so I'm happy to know that I've lost some even with her around. I'm trying really hard to not weigh every single day. I do go ahead and weight on the Wii Fit when I get on it, but I'm not using that as my 'official' weight so it's easy to bleep over that if I don't see what I want LOL I have a delicate balance I have to find with the scale. I can become obsessed with it and feel like I have to weigh every day - or even multiple times in ONE day....bad, bad, bad, I know - and as we all know our weight can fluctuate so much from one day to the next for so many reasons it can become a real emotional battle for me. And weight loss itself is a HUGE emotional battle for me as it is. So I'm trying hard not to step on that scale every day. But I don't want to go down to only once a week either because that can also backfire on me. I can talk myself into things or thinking that I'm not eating 'so bad' since I don't have to face the scale for a full week or 'hey you worked out for an HOUR, you deserve a treat' those kinds of thoughts creep in and sabotage me.
So I'm stepping on the scale only every few days, no more than every other, and so far that's going well. I'm trying to make one or two small changes at a time until I feel like I've got a handle on them. I hope that continues to work!
