Alright y'all, this is gonna be super hard for me!! My whole life, my weight has effected me. My friends and family were my worst critics "chunkapunk" and "fat girl" were the names they gave me. Of course they didn't mean to hurt me, but it did. When I met my now husband I was 256lbs within a year of his positive love I had lost 100lbs. Had a baby gained it all back plus 25lbs!! Lost it within a year!!! Kept it off for 3 years oh yeah!! Then had another baby!! 263 when she was born!! Took me 6 years to get to 205. Last summer I turned up the heat and lost 35!! Gained 9 back... currently 177.2!! I cringe Everytime I step on the scale. So to help my anxiety and insecurities I am gonna post a pic of the scale everyday whether I like what it says or not!!! I know that we all fluctuate 5-10lbs daily.....but I need to get over this insecurity!!! I believe this will help!!! Feel free to post pics of your daily weigh in as well!! We can embark on an inner and outer journey together!!! 💝

I’ve developed the practice of taking a photo every time my morning weigh-in is a new low. Wish I would have started this sooner. I have a 5 month photo album now and every now and then I look at it as a source of wonderment of my accomplishments. Wishing you the best in your fitness, health and wellness journey.25

I dread getting on the scale every Monday, almost always eat too much on the weekend. Takes several days to get back to where I was, but almost always ends up being less than the previous week by Wednesday or Thursday. Just don't let the scale get you down!10

Have you thought about planning meals, taking body measurements and not stepping on the scale so often? The tape shows fewer routine fluctuations and gives you something +ve to focus on. Meal planning and then sticking to the plan should ensure that you remain within deficit and exercise will help general feelings of well being. If the scale increases stress levels don't use it

Actually I was terrified of the scale did the not stepping on it thing....this is my 3rd loss of 100lbs plus!! This is helping believe it or not!! My anxiety is down and I feel like the voices from the past are getting softer!! I have always been successful with all things in moderation!! Change my life not just for a lil while to lose weight but to slowly change the habits that come with emotional eating....cause I cook and eat healthy....it's the feeling of *kitten* em I'll stay fat that I have to over come!! The scale was more of a reality check of damn what am I doing to myself because of what others say!!! With this I am conquering a fear and learning about myself my journey and my body!!! The last few days I have felt empowered!!! To press on for me has been amazing and to not dread the scale WOW!! PLUS THE ACCOUNTABILITY HAS BEEN TO ME YALL!! TO ME!!! THIS IS HELPING!!!6

are you using a weight trending app like libra/happyscale - might be better for you mentally because it smoothes out the trendlines for a better visual5

I have the Happy Scale App (which some kind soul on MFP recommended) and it looks the same and saves my sanity.

Yesterday I was so bad y'all!!! Well I felt like I was...really I guess the diary and scale don't lie!!! Used to I'd beat myself up after a day where I felt like that and I'd lose progress....but now I see it in a whole other light!!! Train your brain y'all!! This is more of a mental battle than anything else!!! I always thought the scale was my enemy....now she is my motivated my friend and a constant reminder I'm on my way!!!

Ok so yesterday I was an emotional wreck!! I did not over eat!! Stayed strong. Today I am struggling to find motivation!!! Damn I'm gonna miss her....I don't even wanna walk outside. We have 4 other dogs.....but Domino had been there since Stewart and I got together. She was by are side through it all!!!! Feels like so much more than the loss of a good dog. A chapter of my life has closed. Domino was found in my childhood neighborhood....so many ties to my dad and the past. Just feels like a lot to let go of!!!
