Topic: RE: Happy Tuesday--scale talk
well like i said before, the scale causes me to feel bad if i don't see what i want to see so the weighing all the time thing doesn't seem to be healthy. if it is going to make you feel that bad, might want to rethink it.

i am finally getting back on track with my eating today. been off two weeks. glad i'm finally climbing back on the bike. i really need to get exercise in regularly to help my metabolism.

Topic: Happy Tuesday--scale talk
Good Morning... Fall is in the air is it not???


well today I want to say HI to all the newbies and old timers...

just a regular work all day for me kind of day....



and let's talk about the dreaded SCALE yet again.


what happens when you get on the scale and the number does not match what you are feeling.

on days I feel THIN and i get on the scale and it's UP it makes my day all colored wrong... magically I'm FAT even if the scale is just up half a pound...


on the days (like this morning) I get on and it's LOWER than I expected it makes me happy but it also makes me nervous that I can really eat what I want still and not suffer the consequences... strikes me as a lousy behavior modification issue...

Topic: RE: Anyone Got an Ark
Barb,

I always weighed myself on a daily basis.  It drove me bonkers at first but then I got used to it and now I can't stop. lol

I am glad you are only weighing yourself on a weekly basis.  Keeps you SANE! or you would go  lol

I am who I am and accept my feelings wholeheartedly.

Oh I am sick of the rain as well.  My yard is mush too.  Makes cutting grass very hard.

I am glad you are getting to walk though it is very improtant. 

Hope all is well.

I'm a little late in answering this, but I sure did.

Over the past 10 days, I found:

2 size 14 pant suits ($9.74 each)
a size 16 new pair of levi's with tags ($5.00)
a size 16 new pair of Old Navy jeans with tags ($3.75)
2 size 14 pairs of dress pants
4 tops (some X/L some L)

All total, I have not spent more than $60.00.
