We are down to the last two weeks of our challenge. First you are probably saying you have an extra week. Yes, we all decided to add one week. The challenge ends on March 28. But that is not what I wanted to share with you. I wanted to talk about my scale.
I have a love hate relationship with my scale. I weigh myself randomly and yet try to every day. I get up and step on the scale. Yep. I step on the thing that gives me bad news and good news every day, which is hard. I get disgruntled when I gain, and praise when I lose. Either way my emotions become a roller coaster and dependent on that evil thing called a scale.
Most people in the field of weight loss have different opinions. Some experts say weighing every day can be disheartening. If you are on the scale gaining weight each day instead of losing it could derail your weight loss plan. Others will tell you that it is best to weigh each day. By weighing each day it helps to keep you on track and control your weight. Basically you know if you are eating something to that can create a problem.
For each person they need to choice what is best for them. Me, I have found that weighing each day does help. It keeps me aware of my food intact and if there is something that is creating weight gain in my diet. But again it is a hate relationship.
By weighing myself each day I can get frustrating when I am not losing weight. I have a goal, as each person in this challenge does also. At times it can feel frustrating when the weight seems to want to cling to my hips and not fall off. And when I step on that scale I want it to desperately say less weight.
I need to learn to embrace the scale, to remember it is just an object. I can use the scale as a tool to help me keep on track, to remember what I eat and how food can affect my body. The scale is not my enemy it is something that sits in my bathroom and tells me what I weight.
I am my worst enemy. I am the one who can sabotage or make success of my journey by what I eat and how active I am. I cannot continue to blame the things around me, and the people in my life. I need to man up and admit my own faults in my weight loss.
I want to succeed. To succeed I am going to embrace who I am and what I eat. I will also learn to use the scale as a tool and not look at it as my enemy. I am going to succeed. And best of all I am going to be a better person for it.
