Because I didn't want to fall into the New Years Resolution Funnel of Doom, I started to really focus on my exercise and diet on the 30th of December (Because those 2 days will keep me from falling into the curse of the new years' resolution)haha.
So I began in late December. By January 10th I found myself obsessing over the scale, which of course, we all know is the worst thing you can do. So I had a family member hide my scale so I would not worry about the day to day changes. My plan is to weigh in at 6 weeks. So, on February 17th I will officially have a number. I am not following a particular diet. I am simply eating healthier and exercising daily. Which, for me, is HUGE! I was a couch potato before, so getting up at 5am every morning for my workout was a task in its own.
I was to be optimistic for my weigh in, but I am afraid to get my hopes up. I really do not want to be disappointed. I am worried I will stop. And honestly, with as good as I am feeling now, I don't want to stop. To Fail. It's just not an option this time. So I move forward knowing I will rock this weigh in...10 more days!

maybe if you think in terms of lifestyle change instead of a scale, that would help? You great ideas (hide the scale). I haven't gotten on a scale unless in the doctor's office. I go by how my clothes fit. If they get a little snug, I cut back. Congratulations on the early morning workouts. I could never do that! I love my sleep too much! Stay optimistic, but be forgiving of yourself. set reasonable baby step goals, you'll be fine.

That's a good plan and good focus. Be positive, and it will happen.

It sounds like you have a sound plan. You should be able to have a decent idea of how you're doing based on how you feel, fit of your clothes, etc., even without weighing on a scale. It seems like the number on the scale is what we focus on most but there are lots of other ways to measure progress. Here's hoping that you get a good number on the scale when you weigh. But I would encourage you to not rest everything on that number, whatever it says good or not as good. What's most important is to just keep going, keep working on eating better and being healthier. We have the rest of our lives to continue doing it, and if we continue the scale will over the long term favor our efforts. :)
