June Jumpstart!: The Weigh-In

The Weigh-In

I can't believe it's only a week tomorrow since we started. So far I haven't found most of it very difficult to do, though I know that will probably change as time goes on! But there is one thing that is harder for me than laying off the sweets and fried goods - its weighting myself!

Whenever I start a weight loss program, I compulsively weigh myself. I almost can't wait to get up in the morning to see if I've lost anything. While it is gratifying to see immediate changes, I end up sabotaging myself in the long run.

If I weigh myself in the morning and have a gain of something like .3 lbs, I am DEVASTATED and will probably go put my face in a pie. Why work so hard and deprive myself if I am just going to weigh more the next day? SO DUMB.

So this week I have abstained from stepping on the scale....until tomorrow. And I will be blissfully unaware if yesterday I weighted .1 pounds less. But the suspense is killing me guys!
