Smashed the scale this morning....
It was liberating too.....maybe I need to see a 'therapist' about this? It was great because after I threw it down about 3-4 times it broke into 2 pieces...the top came off the bottom, which exposed the internal wiring & I just ripped all of that wiring out. Then I threw the entire 'hot mess' out the back door. My husband can clean it up for me because I am done!
It's crazy to think that we let a "gadget" dictate how we feel about ourselves, isn't it? I'm totally the same way - and depending on whether I'm up or down affects how I feel about myself. But most of us have lived our whole lives chasing around a number. If we're there, we're good. If we're not, we're a failure. I wouldn't be that hard on someone else, so I can't imagine why I do that to myself. Anyway - I'm proud of you. It's about the progress you've made, the positive changes, and being healthier, and you're doing all that :)
Stall rage much?
How long have you been stalled now?
I don't allow myself to weigh except once every 2 weeks. Otherwise, I'm jumping on it every day and obsessing over bacon (up), sugar (laxative so down), etc. I need to focus on other things besides the day to day swings on my weight.
I have a pair of slacks in size 12 in my closet. I try them on when ever I feel like I want to use the scale. Amazing. Even when I'm stalled, I went from size 16 to size 14. The absolute number on that scale is too harsh to get clubbed with every morning.
