Weight of the Day

My mom picked me up a scale at a thrift store.

I purposely, did not have a scale at home...

But now that I have one.........

I find myself Weighing in EVERY morning.

I KNEW that would happen.  

On all my other Diets,
I weighed each morning right after getting out of bed.

And it was AWESOME
when I saw the scale go down a few points.  

If I dropped a pound, even better.

Seeing my weight go down

always inspired me for that day to do even better...

But I was DEVASTATED when it would go up.  

Or when it was at a stand still.

After days or weeks of doing everything right,

and my weight stubbornly remained the same...

I would lose hope.
It was so easy to slip, and cheat

and tell myself
"What's the point? I'm just destined to be fat....."

And now.... here I am again.

Weighing in every morning when I get up.

But this time..... so far.....

the scale just keeps moving!! 

Since starting Medifast

I never go more than a day or two,
without seeing some kind of weight loss.

The scale she bought me, is an old scale...... 

not accurate...... and NOT digital.

It's about 5 pounds off, and very hard to read.

When I first brought the scale home

I thought it would be a way to just keep track

so come weigh in day, if I only had a 1 pound loss

I would be prepared.....

But now .....
I'm thinking of getting a new scale.

A digital one.....
So that if I only lose 1/2 pound

I'll know.

When I see a loss, it is SO inspiring.....
and for the past 2 1/2 months, 

I've never NOT lost...  

I feel energized,
and so good on the days when the scale drops.

I look forward to jumping on the scale each morning.

It's kind of like those days when you get all dressed up...

hair done, make-up done....wearing new clothes,

You just FEEL pretty....

But a little part of me,
kinda likes it being a little bit of a mystery....

I kind of like having just a general idea
of what the scale is going to show

on my Weigh In day.

I think I will get a new scale.......

I don't HAVE to weigh in each morning...
just because I have one. 

I can always just weigh in twice a week...

And a scale that is ACCURATE would be so nice! ; )
