Naiomy's Journal, 19 August 2010

How about you try to stop weighing yourself? Give it a month and see what happens! 

It's different for everyone I thnk. I had to stop logging my calories so I didn't go crazy. I keep my 6 meals between 200 and 250 cal ea so I know I am still in my goal but I just don't log them. I also had to keep myself off the scale for two weeks at a time. I am trying to go back to every week now but I don't really care about the scale as much. Keep going and you will get there 

hmmm something to think about  

Hello beautiful. I see you are still on it. I hate we missed each other while you were in NYC. I am finally ready to get back on it. You know I hid my scale a long time ago. It was driving me crazy because I was gaining and losing the same 2 or three pounds, I just could not take it. I am ready to get back in the gym and loose some more of this weight. Since I have been away from the weights and cardio for a while, i think the scale will start moving again. BUT!!!! I am not pulling out the scale except once a month and just going to use clothes as a guide. I don't to go back to being a slave to the scale and then I am happy or depressed by the results. Think about using a goal outfit and trying it on every week, that way it should always be getting looser or that zipper will slowly be moving up instead of being mad when the numbers stay the same or go up. Think about it. Stephanie is BACK!!!! 

hey honey!!! yeah i wish we could have linked up but that is DEF not my last trip to NY :).. i thought about kinda being away from all this for a while.. but i know part of me will hate myself.. but seriously i feel like my life has been all about this for the last few months and i just hate feeling like this all the time... i guess b/c i know tomorrow's my weigh in and i just feel like all the work i put into calorie counting and working out isn't going far.. i mean damn it felt so easy before and i wasn't HALF as educated as i am now!.. i wasn't eating as healthy, just less to fit my calories in to a way too low budget, i wasn't diversifying my intake with protein and stuff.. i wasn't working as hard but now that i am its even more frustrating!... i think i do need a new goal outfit.. the old goal outfit became a reality and now i need something new. i do have to be measured at the gym in the next couple weeks, i just hate the thought of a bigger heavier number on that scale.. i would be content with just half a pound a week!! lol.. seriously i would!.. b/c in the 19 weeks or so till the end of the year that would equal 10 pounds or so and i'm that much closer to my goal! lol 

I know hun.........I think a goal outfit would do you some good. I don't know if you are a thrift shop kinda gal, but the ol skool digs are not bad and its easy on the pocket and something stylish that you can look forward to wearing. I HATED how I felt all the time and thought all my work was for naught, which is why I decided to put that dang scale away and like I said every time the dress was zipping up up up and away I felt better every week instead of worse. I like the measuring but that dang scale is "da DEBIL" do it for your sanity. I did end up weighing in in today but I am only going to do it like once or twice a month and I had not weighed in for like 2 months. Think about it. 

oh...one more thing.....The closer you are to that goal the harder it is to get too. I know you want it...you gonna have to fight for it love. You can do it! 

thanks girl.. i need a kick in the butt like DAILY.. to remember why i'm doing this.. even if i don't lose another pound i'm still way healther and happier about myself than i was even 3 months ago!
