That scale. Blessing and Curse.
It can be very discouraging when you suddenly jump up 3 Lbs and then .5 the next day. It doesn't really mater to my lizard brain that I dropped 21 LBS in 17 days. A lot of that was water weight due to a medication change. I'm sure the upswing was just my body adding some water weight/waste weight back and it will start to…

Newsfeed
I’ve been on MFP for over 13 years. I have a handful of friends that’s have been with me here since the beginning. I don’t post often but I do occasionally check the newsfeed. I’m a dinosaur. An old dog. I don’t like new tricks. Seriously, we no longer have a newsfeed? Ugh.

How do you get your head (self image, self-talk, confidence) to catch up with your weight loss?
I am 4 pounds from my goal weight and find myself second guessing my success. Lately my habits have helped weight loss seem “too easy” and I expect to wake up any day and find that I’ve regained the 35 pounds I’ve lost, or that once I hit my goal that I won’t be able to maintain it (like the yo-yo weight I’ve done my…
