I think I've just realised why I was planning on weighing weekly at most, monthly if I could stand it -- because this evening I started feeling F-A-T in my jeans, because they didn't feel "loose" like they did yesterday. So in a panic I weighed myself on the Wii board and got a two hundred gram increase. CUE THE FREAKOUT. And it's all a bit...um, yeah. Stop it. Stop it now. I'm in the second week doldrums where it looks like FOREVER until I can go back to a more normal eating regimen, and psyching myself out like this? Is totally indulging in my penchant for self-fulfilling prophecy and self-sabotage.
So? No more weighing, no more measuring until Sunday morning when it's due. Then if there's a problem, then I'll sort it. For now...head down, bum up, and stop jumping at shadows. Christ.
It's so hard not to weigh yourself constantly trying to look for some validation of your efforts. But don't fall into the trap! I know someone who obsessively weighs themselves everyday and freaks the fuck out. It's not good.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm definitely only doing it on a Sunday when I'm allowed. It's just...not going to work otherwise. D:
ReplyDeleteOnly a few folks do well with daily weighing. Don't sabotage yourself, you know you've made great progress. 3 kg in a week? That's amazing! I rarely managed to lose that much in a month during my big push to lose the weight.
ReplyDeleteI am most definitely not a daily weigher; I get down too quick. But fortunately today has been much better, so...I just feel better. And that makes me happy. <3 Thank you for the support!
