Dave had been staying at my apt for a few days since his friend where he was staying was out of town. While I enjoy his company, it was emotionally taxing. I mentally prepared myself but it still was not easy. It is like saying goodbye to a best friend and not knowing when you will see them again. I have not had a lot of time to be by myself yet so now that the holidays are over, things should settle down. I'm still a little raw on the emotional front but time will heal.
Everyone has their own scale habits. Some people weigh daily, some weekly and then others weigh monthly or don't do the scale thing at all. What has enabled me to maintain my weight loss (-67) so far is by keeping tabs on my weight and getting on the scale daily or every couple of days. When I first started blogging, I was obsessive about it. I would get up in the middle of the night to pee and weigh myself and then again when I got up for work. It was bad. I finally found the groove that works for me. I do think it is important to keep tabs on your weight because it can spiral out of control pretty quickly. IMHO, It is better to rip off the band-aid instead avoiding it. I spent too many years in denial about my weight and gaining and I WILL NOT go back there again. Until next time...
I weigh one time each morning. Right or wrong its what I choose to do and it keeps me accountable. If I am up I cut back a little the next day or exercise a little more:)
ReplyDeleteI only get on scle every other week. I found that I drive myself crazy if I weigh anymore than that. Everyone does what works for them!

Once a week is more than enough for me. I would drive myself crazy any other way. So I guess we all have to find our own rhythm :)
ReplyDeleteI usually only weigh myself once per week...or else I can obsess about it. You are amazing! 67 pounds gone? That is an awesome accomplishment:) Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI get obsessed with the scale too. I plan on just weighing once a week, on Thursday. Today was my first weigh in after many months, Hope I can keep off the scale now.
ReplyDeleteHi Katie. I'm on weight watchers, so I weigh in once a week at our meeting. I think any more often than that, and I'd psych myself out of things with daily ups and downs. Have a great rest of the work week.
ReplyDeleteIts good that you maintained, but don't let this go on for long. Its time to look at your calories in versus out and reevaluate what your doing. Remember as we lose weight we need less calories. I know your not fond of exercise maybe do 10 minute segments instead of 30 minutes at once. I forgot what weight loss program you are doing. You have my email if you wanna talk. Also I am logging my calories in at myfitnesspal.com my user name is susanc7818 if you want to join me there and be "friends"
ReplyDeleteI totally agree...new follower by the way. I do weigh at least 2 times a week unless I am on my monthly..lol!
