I was challenged to record my weight every day on my weight loss journey, to see what's happening on a daily basis. What are the impacts of drinking enough water, of food choices I make each day, and the consequences of exercise and sleep.
The scale has not been my friend for a long time.
In fact on many programs I was told to look at it only once each week.
And now I'm not only looking at it, but I'm writing down the number and keeping a history.
The first two weeks were emotional. I really didn't like looking at the scale. And writing down the number made it real.
Scary thought -- that I weigh so much {gasp}...
Now I'm noticing I feel different about that number -- overall, I can see a downward trend. And more importantly the number on the scale is becoming just a number.
It's a number! It's just information; it's a number.
It provides information. It's not emotional. I'm not bad and wrong. And to quote Dr. Glidden, I was "not cursed by God. It's a nutritional deficiency! The body heals itself when it's provided with the necessary nutrients to do so!"
Ah! I'm getting healthy!
I'm getting skinny!
The number is getting smaller -- oh, and so am I!
Something's shifting...
