    The real question, Erin, is: Does the scale needle spin backwards

    DAY 3 for me - have not looked! I finally had to put the scale away so I wouldn't be so tempted. I am feeling good about this challenge though, and I hope to be pleasantly surprised when I step back on there BEFORE Thanksgiving dinner!

    Day two...haven't looked yet. (I probably would have if I knew where my scale was). I'm SO glad that my boyfriend hid it from me. LOL! Sad huh? I had to have someone hide my scale so I wouldn't be tempted to get on it until Thanksgiving day.

    Haven't looked. Every time I want to (which is a lot) I try to take a breath and focus on how good my body feels. It's helping (kinda:wink: )

    Banks, I so relate to the scale addiction as being yet another negative self-destructive behavior. I'm trying to learn that positive feedback from my/our own powerful, strong and healthy body/ies is what I/we really need.

    (I'm trying really hard to follow my own advice here...)

    Stay strong, my scale-less brothers and sisters!

    Day three of diet diary and not cheated once. Drank loads of water today so jelly wobbling considerably:drinker:
    The diary really brings home the fact that I eat a whole lot of rubbish, so plan to attempt major change in habits as of tomorrow....When I see everything I`ve consumed in a day, its quite a shock. Do we really eat so much? even when we feel we have not eaten a lot?

    DAY 2 of not going near the scale...aaaargh!!! its pretty hectic as my scale is in the bathroom and every time I go for widdle or to brush my teeth or have a shower etc, there`s the damn scale staring up at me like forbidden fruit. I swear its worse than watching a scary movie :noway:

    :flowerforyou: and good luck to everyone facing and turning away from the scale xxx

    banks: kudos to you...you are doing awesome, keep it up

    kjlose: i would normally say " it's ok, just jump back on"...but i don't think it would work here, lol.
    You are doing your best. That is what matters. Maybe this time round it will last longer. The more you keep trying the further you will go. Hiding it out of sight would help as well yes.

    sister: ditto for you, lol....good going, 3 days down...and shove the scale under the bed, lol.

    Hi Banks, it said 179.8:smile: but this morning I said :noway: am I getting on you and stuck it in a closet lol. Out of sight out of mind. I'm going to be so busy over the next few days I won't have time to look at it even. This is Vermont and we have youth hunting season this weekend and we usually have a boy or two in town and even out of town who want to learn to hunt, so hubby does the teaching and I do the feeding of the crew and am the morale officer (lol) for the boys. But right now I'm the java queen:drinker: so I can get all the pre-hunting camp stuff done. Have a good weekend if I don't get to post and I'll try to be strong when it comes to the scale.:bigsmile:

    It's Friday and I haven't stepped on the scale since Tuesday, Day one!

    I haven't been able to exercise much this week but I've been watching my calories. Except for Halloween, I haven't done so bad...

    Happy Friday Everyone! It's supposed to be a glorious weekend for us here! Possibly in the 80's! Imagine that!

    Happy Friday Everyone!!
    I'm still hangin in there! Haven't stepped on a scale since 10/30. There's even one here in the womens bathroom at work and one at the gym that I go to. Didn't even have the urge either.

    Best of luck to everyone over the weekend...no PEEKING:wink: ,
