The Scale....

8/26/2011

4 Comments

 
Oh, how I hate the fucking scale....It literally makes me crazy!  I go nuts if I gain, and if I lose, I always feel that it's not good enough.  So, today was no exception.  I had a Dr.'s appt. today, so I got weighed.  I wasn't happy about this, b/c I was going to wait until the 1st to weigh myself (on the Wii fit, which gave me the 213 on 7/31), and I was diligent about staying away from the scale until then.  Anyhoo, fast forward to today, according the the Dr.'s scale, I'm 205.  My heart tells me, 8 lbs in 26 days isn't bad at all, but my head screams, YOU BIG FAT FUCK, GAWD, YOU SUCK!  All I can think about are the days I didn't do so good, instead of basking in the days that I did well.  I hate this about myself.  I'll weigh myself on the 1st, and let you know what it is again, then.  Plus, I like the idea of being on the same scale.  I know I've lost, but I need to know exactly what I've lost.  Although, I'm not sure that weighing myself on the Wii fit board is better than a scale or not.  I hope it's accurate.  If I don't get the sense that it is, I'll buy a new scale.  (Since apparently I lost mine in the move.)

7:30  banana
11:45  Fish filet from McDonalds (w/ Large Diet Coke)  -I actually am not mad at myself about this.  I really wanted to go the have a big 'ol breakfast at this Country restaurant near the Dr.'s office, but as bad as a fish sandwich is, I knew it would be better than eggs and french toast.
12:45  Fruit and walnut pack from McD's   -actually really good, apples, grapes, candied walnuts w/ a little yogurt.  I do give myself points for not licking the yogurt off the lid, though.  I do miss yougurt.
4:00  Baked potato and spring mix salad w/ lite honey mustard dressing
5:00  A few bites of Ryne's movie popcorn  (Rise of the Planet of the Apes-good movie)
7:00  Med cup of fat free yogurt from Frozerts w/ fresh raspberries

Congrats Jen!!! Listen to your heart and not the negative speak in your head. Fast fixes usually don't last...slow and steady wins the race. You are 8lbs closer to your goal! Be proud of yourself.

Lets hear some positive talking to balance the negative and eventually overpower the negative. I weigh myself everyday and learn to be aware of how my body reacts to food, salt, alcohol etc. I know when I need to work harder and when I need to forgive myself and accept the progress. You look at a trend not that day. I gained 5 pounds last week with binge drinking and have had to work very hard to get that back down. I am 3 pounds away from my goal weight (first phase). It has taken 2 years and I waiver up and down around it--199. Although I am determined and I will continue to fuel my body because that is what my body needs and I will continue to work out, because that is what my body needs. If we give our body what it needs it will eventually give us what we need! :)

Staci, congrats on making your goal! I am so proud of you, my friend! I like that you weigh daily to see your trends. I'm way too neurotic to do that, though. The numbers get to my head too much. I'm feeling better about my progress today.
I totally get what you're saying about drinking. It really is the devil to weight loss. It's the reason I don't have a beer at night. I try to save it for when we go out or something.
Keep it up. You rock!
