Dreading the Scale

[ATLGirl 134]

I am dreading buying a scale today. I hate them with a passion. If you asked me how much I weighed right now, I could not tell you. When I was pregnant, I made my doctor write on the outside of my file, DO NOT TELL WEIGHT! From visit to visit they would say you gained X punds, but NEVER the weight. When I had my daughter, it moved into you loss X pounds. I never want to know the number, because I don't want to spiral into depression. When I watch the Biggest Loser and I see someone who weigh 260, I think I don't look like that so I know I don't weigh 260. My just hate the numbers. So I will suck it up an buy a scale today......

doesn't mean I will use it.

Many people let themselves get pushed around by the numbers... including me, but after all, they are just numbers and can simply mean something scientific to us... it doesn't have to be personal. You are not a better or worse person depending on the number. You are not a success or failure dependent on a number! Just stick to the plan your Dr. gives you and use the scale to show you what direction you are heading in...don't weigh too often or the direction will not be as clear or accurate in the long run.

After a day of depression, I have told myself this is the LAST time I fall victim to a number.... on a scale.

277.4......... No where to go but down from here.
