Does this make sense?

Hi my name is Rudina, Im 29 and I'm a mother of a beautiful 2 year old daughter. This is not my first time attempting to lose weight, only this time my motivation is to get healthier and not just look better. Having lost a lot of weight to gain it all back again many times, this time I decided to not weigh myself at all simply because numbers are not my goal, and a weight gain or no weight lose might discourage me and put me down. Does this make sense to anyone? Am I doing the right thing here?
Ps: I've been using MFP for only 8 days now.

are you going to use a tape measure instead?

It does make sense, I've gained a lot of weight back too and I prefer not to think about it but you need a clear goal.

If it's health then I think you should keep track of the daily calories and nutrients, without noticing your weight will drop and your health improve.

That actually a very good idea, but I'll try measure once a month.

Thank you, I do keep track of my calories everyday now. I do have a clear goal it's my ideal weight that I once was and I'd know if I'm close to it, which I'm not at all at the moment.
