Relationship with the scale
Sound funny but we all have a relationship with our scale. I use to be obsessed with weighing myself several times a day. The scale would determine what I ate. I used the scale as a reward to have a treat if I lost. But I also used it as an excuse to eat more if I saw a gain. What the heck, I already blew it, I might as well eat to console myself. WHAT WAS I THINKING?? I would lose and gain the same 2 pounds for months. Then a few weeks ago at my Weight Watchers meeting the leader dared us to put the scale away. What?? How will I know how I'm doing throughout the week? She said you'll see how you did at your weekly meeting. It was hard at first, but you know what...it kept me honest. I was only cheating myself before. Now I am more conscious of what, when and why I am eating. And to prove this works for me, I lost 10 pounds and got another gold star yesterday
