Banned!

At the suggestion of my good friend Denise and with the added encouragement from my Husband and my Mom; the scale has been banned from my life for the next month. That's right 30 days of not knowing if I've lost weight or gained weight...NOTHING until 8/24/2010!

Apparently, I was stressing out too much about the fluctations in my weight blah blah blah! LOL.Though I haven't really admitted it until now they are right. My journey is not "normal." My weight loss and the fluctations I have are not like everyone elses. My hormones seem to be more in control than I am sometimes and it drives me crazy. To the point that I've let the number that the scale define me and define my efforts...and they've caught on. So, now its banned.

It's only been 3 days, and I'm having scale withdrawls! My weigh in routine is already out the window and I have no idea how I'm doing!

Tonight, I thought I had my Husband fooled into letting me weigh in. I asked him to let me weigh in where only he could see the number the scale showed and all he'd have to say is "up or down." When I finished my shower I was ready for my "cheat" weigh in and instead I found this...


Isn't he a clever one?! Darn! I thought I had him fooled!

It's going to be a LONG month!

  3. You have a great husband. It is a great idea to put the scale away for the month. Hormones are mean things when you're trying to lose weight. I hope you're able to workout hard without the scale this month. You're doing great :)

  4. I was finally able to get over here and catch up with your last few posts. I am sorry you're having issues with the scale and the fact that the numbers aren't moving, but I really admire you for keeping your positive attitude. You are doing GREAT! I hope you stick with it, and it sounds to me like you are. Even if the scale doesn't move for a few weeks, you will still feel better because you're eating right and working out.

    I totally support the scale ban and I can't wait to see the results in a month!

    Keep it up Nery!
