When you get on that scale and it shows you that you have lost 1, 2, 3 lbs this week, the scale becomes your BFF.....but when you get on that scale and it shows that you have gained .5, 1 or 1.5 lbs it then becomes your worst enemy. You yell, you curse, you scream at it, you pick it up and threaten to throw it down the stairs!!! But instead you put it down and tell yourself that it must be wrong and get on again.....hello, what are you thinking?????
It is just a tool that we use to see how we are doing with our weight loss. There are so many better ways that we should confirm how we are doing.
How do I feel? Did I eat healthy today, did I exercise, did I park far away from Tiara to get a few extra steps, did I take the stairs?
What about trying on those clothes I want to fit into? Can I actually get those pants on, can I zip them, can I bend over in them?
I hate the scale and I promise I won't throw it down the stairs.
that is so true, keep it in perspective.
ReplyDeleteSo true...and that is the best way to look at it. It is just one of the many measures along the way to gauge how you are doing. And besides, you had on jeans yesterday and looked fab!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy we had to time to chat and see eachother. It had been way to long.
The fans of Team Nicol say - You are Doing Great!!! And we shall continue to cheer you on...no matter what the scale the says!! :)
