This morning, my alarm goes off and the first thing that comes to my head is "I just went to bed ten minutes ago!" It must be a fluke, haha well no, indeed I needed to get up and get movin! I just wanted to sleep for five more minutes, I was just soooo comfy!
This morning as I was doing my daily routine of (stepping on the scale, eating breakfast and checking emails) It dawned on me that Im no longer scale obsessed! A smile appeared on my face and I recalled to a time where I was weighing myself about 7 times a day. Now I only way myself once and that is in the morning. I thought something like this was going to never let me rest, I hated being obsessed by a number on a scale. It takes over your life and then all you start to care about is a number on a scale. Well let me tell you to everyone who is having a problem like this, you can in fact snap out of it! As I was checking my email, I got an newsletter, funny about "the number on the scale" If you have time to read it, its very intresting and useful!
Nothing planned for today, I hopefully will be coming home and resting! My soreness is slowly going away! Even though I did get used to it! lol!!
Well im off! Have a wonderful Thursday!!! GUESS WHAT?!?! It's almost FRIDAY!!!!

Excellent article
So true! Hopefully EP will give us more tracking options soon, such as % Body Fat & BMI. A better Body Log graphic would be especially helpful to visualize the changes in measurements.
I snoozed this morning, too. Some days it's harder to get out of bed than others.
It's great to not be so obsessed. I'm working on that. I weigh at home once a week, usually and it's the day of my official WI so I don't have any surprises.
It doesn't look like you need to obsess over the scale. Your weight loss is awesome. Gives me motivation...I am just starting on this site.
Congrats!

I only get on the scale 1 or 2 times a week. If I know it's not moving, I know it's time to get moving myself!
I got on the scale myself today. I am thinking I have to get moving more! ON that note, I need to go mow the lawn! (No self-propelled mower here!)

PS I don't really have anything planned for today, either. In fact, I'm skipping school today because I have perfect attendance and there are only two more classes left of the semester. (And all but one class was cancelled for the day).
Yup! I have that problem right now. I keep looking at the scale about 3 times a day. Once in the morning, afternoon and at night...ok maybe before I work out...Seriously I think I might have to put my machine away. Loved the article and it makes sense. Will give it a go and see what happens : D
