To weigh in or not to weigh in…..
This is the question.
Well David is not one to beg, lol, but he did suggest that I not weigh in. In fact he said I should stand naked infront of the mirror and let that image be the factor that tells me that I am doing well. I know that with this diet I have not lost anything and this was not my goal. My goal was to feel better. Find some health. I am sure not losing has more to do with the fact that I did not exercise enough this month. A combination of busyness and laziness for sure. So, he rarely suggests anything weight loss/diet related (he knows…hehe) but I agree with him. At some point in the coming month I will get on that scale because I think it is a good time. It will tell me whatever. But I feel good and I do not want to let a number dictate my mood. It will not tell me a thing. Sure I feel like a cop out, or maybe a little in denial, but it is not for me at this time.
So, how do I know I have gained a little? Well, I like how I look, but where my skin was really, really lose, well it is only a little lose. So I know I have not lost, this is for sure. The old skin needs to take it’s time, just like me. I need to be patient and enjoy the journey. CERTAINLY, I am kicking my behind into action. More workouts!!! Consistency. Persistence. Dedication to my heart, muscles, cleansing, improved mood…. Cheers to our improved health! Every day we make choices for ourselves and though some are not for our diets, we do make them. And I think that we are coming to a better and better place as we just make more and more healthy choices. What are you doing for you that is making you feel amazing about yourself? Keep it up. Thank you for being my inspiration. Have a great week 
*hugs*
Tea cheers to you all……
(by the way, did I tell you that I am not drinking or eating caffeine??? I was studying yesterday and I wanted a tea so bad to stay awake. I took a 45 minute nap and awoke to finish my section. NO TEA. I will finish this detox with food combining as the path because I want some darn green tea. I miss it more then anything and it is not even about being addicted to the caffeine. Just had a feeling like I wanted. Also, I am journaling/counting points just to make sure I get proper food and calories. Have not been eating enough some days. Too much other days…. ahhh the story of our lives. Anyways… something to share )
Awesome. I like that you are not letting the scale dictate your mood ***furiously takes notes***
love that advice from your man. it reminds me of what a male friend of me once did for a female friend of his. he stood her in front of the mirror and held her as she really look at herself and saw how beautiful she really was. it is nice to just look and appreciate what we see. the number only gives you one piece of data. have david stand with you, behind you, and then see what you see. sometimes it so nice to see ourselves through someone who loves us. i like seeing myself through sean’s eyes sometimes - then i see the big smile and love-filled eyes…tangent land - sorry!
also, way to go on the no caffeine!
Isn’t it amazing how the number on the scale dictates our mood? It’s pathetic, but it’s a fact of life I think for most women. I’m glad you followed David’s advice, and that you’re finding the right combination for you. Hang in there friend, I am very proud of your growth these last few months!!
I am so there, that scale does dictate my mood. I need to stop that. Kudos to David for his advice, now if I would just take it. Hmm, what are you doing to get rid of the loose skin? Inquiring minds (mine) want to know! Good job on the no caffeine, wish I could do that! Hugs, to you, Kama
Jo is oh so wise. The number on the scale and the mood for the day or even a week. Pathetic indeed.
I see that a relationship with the scale reflects our relationship with food to some degree. When we see food as punishment and reward, good and bad, the scale becomes a formidable, threatening judge instead of a simple tool.
