Beating the scale obsession...

Jackie_W

My hubby put that post-it note on my scale last night, right over the display, he's todl me, that if I step on those scales once before sunday, then I have to pay him £100 !!! :noway:
Sooooo.....I got up out of bed this mornign and rushed to get out of the bedroom away from the scales :laugh:
There's no way he's getting £100 from me :laugh: :laugh:

Trouble is, after such a crap day, of false allegations, threats of redundancy and trying to cheer my hubby up - after all, its his 40th birthday tomorrow and he has the worry of going into work to see if he still has a job, I sucumbed to temptation, I atesome chocolates AND had a take away, I know I've done an hour's workout at the gym AND an hour walking today, but I really feel cruddy about myself now that I've blown another day, I was doing really well all day up until this evening. :grumble:

Well, I guess tomorrow is another day, I'm going to drink plenty of water and flush the toxins out of my system, and jump back on the wagon right now!!!

Don't beat yourself up too much. Everyone has bad days. Just drink lots of water and remember to start fresh tomorrow!

Thanks abs0830 :flowerforyou: That' what I'm going to do, the post-it note and thought of paying otu £100 for nothing have really made me think twice about weighing quite so much, and I could kick myself for giving in tonight, but I won't beat myself up, I've had a lot to contend with, I'm just gonna use this as a learning curve, and try and find ways round the temptation in future :flowerforyou:

A few chocolates and take out isn't a HORRIBLE day. It's your cheat meal. It won't be a huge set back...it was a needed break!!

You already know that you have to get back on track and you will. Just keep the healthy mind-set giong and you're already back to it!

Oh...PS...great job on the post it note on the scale. I think that is a very wise move. :flowerforyou:

Thanks, I still haven't weighed in either :bigsmile:
I just keep counting the days until Sunday :laugh:

That's great. You may be counting now, but it'll become more "norm" and the days will fly by!

it's more fun to see progress over a few days rather than weighing in every day. Keeps you anticipated for the next weigh in
