Feeling like it's not hard to pack for a trip because most of our clothes actually fit!

Everyone has such good advice on this -- I have to admit that I don't want to be obsessed with a number on the scale -- and yet when you are approaching your goal there is this weird pressure about how you will maintain it that makes you feel like you should try to get below it so it's okay if you go up....I wonder if…

I have the same weekend problem! Sometimes I think I don't want to be done with losing weight -- there is something about the goal that is soothing, somehow. And when kids are around, and my work is demanding, I feel like i need the diet and the goal to feel centered, almost. is that crazy??

Thank you -- I will remember this good advice!!!

I appreciate hearing that you think weighong every day is okay....I do too but seem to get too discouraged if I gain anything. Sounds like you are really grounded about it which I hope to be!!

Great idea; think I will try it. Like Friday, too, before the weekend, which always seems harder.

Thanks -- this is really helpful because I have also committed to working out (with a trainer when I can, otherwise by myself) and want to focus on the fact that I am getting stronger and leaner from that....for some reason the number on the scale has too much significance. Will try to keep it in perspective.
