Saying Goodbye to The scale!

I took the scale out of my bathroom and put it in the garage. This way I can depend on Jenny Craig each time I weigh in on Mondays. I know my starting weight and that is good enough for me.

I will encounter some sort of "weighing" withdrawl. I know I will! I am somebody who weighs every single day, not good.

So this was a HUGE leap for me to remove the scale so I wouldn't have it's presence taunting me each morning to hop on!

I have many goals and weighing in a lot isn't one of them. I have been on this Bandwagon before and if anything weighing yourself too much can jeapordize your program. I think we depend too much on the scale. I got my measurements taken I would rather go by those then the number on the scale.

I start tomorrow and I organized everything into a food journal, of exactly what I am going to eat this week. I will do this each week to stay organized and on track. I will also add in the journal my exercise and how much I did.

My first goal is to get down so I can use the Elipitical! I can't believe I'm too big for a piece of exercise equipment! Oh well when I reach 260 I will be so happy to hop on that thing, that I never thought that was possible before. LOL

So Goodybe scale! I fall now back into the proverbial arms of Jenny Craig for trust that I will succeed on this program!

Goodbye scale! Congratulations. I TOO believe that for WEIGHTLOSS, esp. BEFORE "halfway," focusing on the positive ACTION Alone is the best strategy, never on the physical outcome. It's an old wisdom--Gita 2:47. After halfway, I think it makes sense to checkin once a week. This takes back some of the accountability that will support maintenance down the road. Still, longterm I guess wisdom would dictate that the scale may not be needed, as we integrate our healthy lifestyle and healthy relationship with food, activity, and the rest of living. Anyway, best wishes in your journey!
