Do y'all even get on the scale???

Thank you for sharing with me! I will start doing just that...I think I am going to buy a scale but keep it put away except for maybe a once a week weigh-in. I also need to get back to doing my measurements. That makes a difference with all that head-thinking when I see the measurements too. You are most certainly right not to let it rule my thinking, but yet to keep it as a measurement tool. I hope you have a great Thanksgiving!
In order to keep myself on track, I weigh myself every morning before I shower. It keeps me knowing what I need to do and how much attention I need to pay. I NEVER allow myself to go up more than 5 lbs. 5lbs in fact bothers me, so I start paying close attention. The only time I don't weigh myself is if I am on vacation and there's no scale.

10+ years out. Weekly, every Sunday morning. And I write it down. On the bathroom mirror in marker. This way I can see my trends and adjust or at least be AWARE. I know the moment I don't want to weigh, I've got issues to deal with. (generally emotional or boredom eating for me). Additionally I make SURE I don't avoid the full length mirror. I have one at my door going out of the house and one in my bedroom plus a very large mirror covered wall in the bathroom. "Denial- it ain't just a river in Egypt", as the joke goes. Once I'm in that denial zone...it's hard to come back from.
OH! And fluctuations... gee, I can see 5+ pounds in fluctuation pretty normally, especially around period time.
Best,

Ha! I love the 'denial' thing...I have never heard that one!!! That is a great idea to write it on your mirror; I have also never thought to do that but there would be the number staring you right in the face. Congratulations on all of your success and continue to share!
