Scale Fear

So I was afraid of the scale. I'm always afraid of the scale. If I have a "bad scale day", my day is screwed, I'm upset and I tend to cheat, thinking "whatever, it's not working anyway."

I had been testing myself to see if I was in ketosis for this week. I initially decided NOT to go on the scale for a few weeks, just track my ketosis. Then, I thought -- but the scale will help modify what I eat that day (egg whites instead of whole hard-boiled eggs, etc).

So I got on.

I was HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY to see that I lost over 4 pounds! (This was yesterday). Today I lost 0.8 lbs and my body fat is down to 44.7%. (I have a Tanita scale). So that brings my weight loss to 5.4 lbs in one week. :-) Happy happy joy joy.

I promise to you and to myself: no more scale fear. Just adjust. And keep going.

Are you afraid of the scale? Lemme know!

That's funny - I do the same thing. I can't NOT weigh myself every morning, and when I do, whatever it says usually makes or breaks my day!
