Weighing IN?? woes?

I have not quite decided how to play this one out this go around? Weighing in can be so discouraging to say the most!! & the scale game is something else it can either make or break you! So I really don't know how to play this? Or how about when people make comments about you loosing weight & YOU know your not! I can't stand that, it's like what do they see? Could I stand to weigh myself in 3 months? go by the look & feel of my clothing? What? I am not sure how I want to handle this, because if your not loosing and get on that scale, it can really be a "debbie downer" which could also be complete sabotage too!!? Too much focus is put on the scale? and like I said, can you imagine working so hard, & ??? what? we expect too much. Although I want to "Pretend" like it's the first time around like 8yrs. ago. Reality is, that IT'S NOT!! What did they call it? the honeymoon faze!! Where with exercise the pounds just almost melted away, oh yes that was so inspiring! So unlike before I have to do this differently, not so much, but that faze is long gone! Right? I do have some genuine, HOPE & I know it can be done, oh absolutely but I have to work at it! one pound at a time. I have some inspiration from last Spring in losing the 20lbs. That was huge! gained it all back, but I did before & I will do it again, You know how you get, when you get determined? Or is it disgusted? When I see that bulge in the mirror. I've also been looking at my before transitional phases! the pictures! can be very inspirational. I will start taking some new ones huh? it's a thought. I was on top of the world Soaring! very happy and exciting time. Only one part I didn't enjoy was my E.T. periods, yes "Extra terrestrial"look. For a short period I did not like my facial appearance? I had to get used to look at my skinny/smaller at the time face, it was a true metamorphosis, & I am being serious, I hated that look. I had to work on my hair and so forth, but over time I grew into it I guess? I lost 130lbs. yes a person is bound to like quite different huh? I would rather have to lose this 51lbs. vs. that 130lbs all over again huh? Oh absolutely. Chat soon! jbug

I need the scale. When I avoid it - it is because I don't like what it may show me.  But when I use it at least 2-3 times a week - I am more mindful about my intake. The muffin, or cake than may be calling my name - are not an option when the scale shows me that I am at the top of my weight range. If I am over that- that's when measuring and counting and extra water, and no nuts, etc etc etc comes to mind.  Wine? What wine?  Will not have any until I am at least 2 lbs below the "red line".

Scale is not everything, but it helps me be mindful about my intake. 

Avoiding the scale got me one time all the way to 250....before I had RNY..

 

Everyone's different I guess , I'm going to weigh myself once a week and really concentrate on keeping a food diary. I'm going really low carb and try and get this belly weight off. I want to keep my blood sugar under control and get my blood pressure lower. My doctor says I need to lose at least 60, I want to lose 90-100. I'm 5 3 and weigh 254 that's according to my scale. So I'm going to keep my carbs under 30 and hopefully I will lose. The hardest thing for me is not having potatoes. I LOVE potatoes, my favorite carb. I also have been eating too much fast food and junk -chips, pizza, burgers, fries... This needs to stop so today is a new day and a new week and I'm starting fresh.
Thanks for being there friends🌼

I weigh in daily because it fluctuates and I don't want to miss a new re-lost pound.  I am so very far above my red line that I can't see it in the near future.  I know that exercise adds pounds too.  That is hard to take.  My biggest problem is portion distortion.  I eat too much.  I am back on track today.  It is hard and I am so glad to read how others tackle their demons.  I do so much better when I post my food journal.  take care, Tri
