I'm feeling pretty confident about the weekend today. I'm very happy that it's Friday... it's been a very loooooong week.

However I'm worried about tomorrow morning's weigh-in. I'm worried that I will let that number affect my eating. I need to learn to neither reward nor punish myself with food.

First of all, if I lost weight this week, it doesn't make sense to reward myself with food that I avoided to help me lose weight. Secondly, if I gained weight this week, it really doesn't make sense to punish myself with food that may guarantee another gain next week.

Lastly, the number on the scale is JUST A NUMBER and food is JUST FOOD. Neither should be the master of me.

Yes, my goal this week was to lose 1.6 pounds and be at 195 even tomorrow. Yes, I binged on Tuesday, which may or may not have made that goal not happen. I'm back on track now, which is the only really important thing.

No more binges, sticking to my meal plan, and trying to enjoy life. Those three things are important.

Okay, vent over. So glad that I have this journal to help me get things out of my head and into the universe.

Thanks for reading!

The scale is your friend and it's good to have friends that are not afraid to tell you the truth every time. Weigh yourself often GG, don't be afraid of your friends. ;-)

I feel the opposite of Info..sorry Info! If the scale is bothering you that much I think it is healthy and wise to take a break from it. Like you said, it is a number and if that number will sabotage you then not seeing it may be the best thing for a bit. When I first started I actually did not weigh myself for 4 months. Just focused solely on breaking my lifetime of habits that sabotaged me. It was enlightening and amazing. When I finally did weigh myself I had lost 15 pounds. Not a lot in some eyes, however, it was wonderful because I did it in a healthy way and had many tools to deal with the scale in the future. I know it does not work for everyone but it may be something to consider. :)

Thanks for the input, everyone! I only weigh myself once a week. I tend to obsess if I weigh in every day. Plus, weight will fluctuate so much on a daily basis that it doesn't make sense to weigh-in more than weekly.
