I ended my strike with the scale yesterday morning.
After talking to an online WW friend I decided to get on
the scale at home. I wasn’t surprised by
the number either.
182.0
When I looked back on my weight record my last WI at WW was
the first week of November and was 182.8.
Not only did I not have a gain in the last month but I had a slight
loss. So really I can’t be bummed.
The fear of seeing the 180s, or more so the 182-183 range,
is what has kept me from getting on the scale the last couple of weeks. I still think about it when I see the scale
in the bathroom. But then the thought is
gone. So I just haven’t gotten on
it. And I feel okay about that decision.
However, after talking to my WW friend Kathy, I know that
it is still important to have that double check of the scale from time to
time. I try not to let the number affect
me but almost seven years later it still does.
One thing Kathy pointed out to me is while I might try to
make it seem like this weight gain doesn’t bother me, it does because I talk
about it. Honestly, it is on my mind but
overall I feel pretty good. Even after
stepping on the scale I still have no
desire to get on the scale next week.
A loss of 0.8 pounds in a month is a good thing. So I need to stay positive and just keep
doing what I am doing. Would I like to
have lost more? Of course I would. I need to learn how to accept that I might
have to be in the 180s for a little while.
It is kind of funny because I got a FitBit and when I was
entering my information in at the time of set up it asked for my weight. I almost put 180 but decided to put 182. I think I already knew what was going on and
not getting on the scale was a reason not to admit it?
In either case….onward we go!
