Daily Maintenance Weigh In - Wednesday, September 11

Happy Hump Day!

175.7 today.  

150.0 - down another lb.

My arm is going over my head now. WOOT!!!

A love note was left for me yesterday. It said, "that lady is hella glaring at us." So, I get to sit down and have a conversation with the girl and her friends and explain some things to them. Things like, just in case you missed the sign on EVERY table, posted on the walls and on the front door--there is no eating in the library. If you don't want me to come over to talk to you, keep your voices at a whisper. It's sweet of you to think about me so much that you passed a note, but as highschoolers it seems like you all would have more important things to talk about than me. Oh, and coming to the library is a privilege, NOT a right.

Should be fun.

Aren't people wonderful?

This is exactly why I don't teach High School...lol  Love. it. 

Oh, the joys of high schoolers using the library as a hang out! Good luck on that conversation. Knowing you it should go just fine!

I didn't weigh today. I am trying not to weigh every day. I become so obsessed with the number and place a value judgment on it and it is not good for me to do that. I know it works for others. I know in my rational place that it is just data, but damn I can't get past making judgments about how good or bad I am based on that silly number. I am going to try weighing every 3 days or so and see how that goes. I know I will still be faced with the same dilemma, just not every day. Stupid? I am open to opinions and sage advice here.

GM:

I TOTALLY understand you on this. 

I have tried to not weigh every day  but that became an obession too and it was almost as if was on pins and needles all day  ' wonderiing'.

So for now, because of the creeping weight gain, am weighing daily to keep me honest and to not let it get out of hand.  I would rather know that am 5 pounds over goal rather than 20.     However, maybe when I have matured enough ( ???!!!! ) to not let the scale number run my life, perhaps will be able to take the brave step you are taking.

All the very best. 

The scale is a ***** to be reckoned with, that's for sure.  My two cents worth - it's okay to skip for a day or two if I'm on program. But if I'm starting to play around, extend my boundaries more often than not, the scale's feedback is vital every day.  Of course, my tendency is to want to do the opposite!

Morning all:

Happy Library day!! :)

Thanks Jubjub for your words of encouragment.

Down a pound so 5 pounds above goal.

Keeping  me honest.

Have a good one.

135.1#  My new lowest:)  Have a great day!!!

Yippee!
