Before you start trying to gather bail money, I have to tell you that I'm not going to kill my lying bastard scale; although I really should. His metaphorical death will come to pass instead of his physical one. I plan to put him away in the storage area in my apartment and forget about him. His grasp has been much too tight over the past year and I decided to pry his bony, taunting fingers from around my ankle. By doing that, I think I'll be able to make progress so that 2012 can be my year. My year to reach my weight-loss goal. My year to transition into a career. My year to treat myself better than ever before.
When I went to my Weight Watchers meeting yesterday, I found that I had gained. It was no big surprise because I ate a lot of junk and got very little exercise. Yesterday's meeting dealt with the things in our life that block us from weight-loss success. Someone mentioned the fact that the reading on their scale is always different from the readings at WW. Because a person's weight can fluctuate throughout the day, WW recommends that members only weigh themselves once a week, preferably on the same day of the week around the same time. That's so that life becomes less scale-centric, drawing the focus to other things. For the first time since I started the program, I'm only going to step on the scale once a week, at my WW meeting.
Free yourself! yay grate dasizhun. Herz duzn't even own a skale!
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the title to this post I thought "Yay she's going to take a sledgehammer to that bastard scale!" If you ever do really kill him, I want pics posted. You're right though, being a slave to the scale can place mental strain on you. You've come so far with your weight loss and have made permanent life style changes. I hope 2012 is a great year for you. Love and prrs from me and Toki xxx
ReplyDeleteTW never looks at the home scale but then she eats and eats and eats, etc. Just don't do that last part. HAH! Hope you reach your goal and stay there.
ReplyDeleteGood for you! Show that bastard scale just who is boss in your house. You are girl - you rule! (well except maybe for your cat).
ReplyDeleteI agree 100%. I refused always to be ruled by the scale. meaning daily weighing is a waste of time because you retain water/don't retain water/ate something/didn't eat something/ and it's all ridiculous to weigh every day. Once a week is more than sufficient. If you go to WW, let that be your weigh-in. Their's is at least accurate. Ours at home is frequently off a few pounds too much or too little.
