If I gained.....I focused on the weight all day. I was depressed, felt worthless..oh yes, it was awful.<br />Something finally woke me up, I stll weigh 3-5 times a week but the scale does not determine my mood. In fact, in the last year I have gained about 8# but it does not bother me. I feel good and that is what matters to me! <br />Blessings<br />ShawnShawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11410609940311482746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224939955108013553.post-4043866884928752002011-03-29T13:08:15.911-07:002011-03-29T13:08:15.911-07:00I don't use a scale...

Recently I've been looking in the mirror and liking what I'm seeing; that's one of the important things. <br /><br />I do weigh everyday, but for me it's less about the number as it is about the reminder to make good choices.The Ninjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12606292314406371281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224939955108013553.post-68079720338178254632011-03-29T09:21:41.811-07:002011-03-29T09:21:41.811-07:00Julie- I love that you share your ups and downs, s...Julie- I love that you share your ups and downs, struggles and achievements...everything you write is an inspiration! You are SO RIGHT about the scale. I lost 8 pounds last week but now it says I've gained a couple...WTH? I don't feel those pounds back, I still feel like I've lost and my clothes tell me I'm still going down...but that number on the scale is the thing that haunts me.Empty Nesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14060983954463697344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224939955108013553.post-46392086051768140302011-03-29T07:56:10.845-07:002011-03-29T07:56:10.845-07:00I have found that I need to weigh daily. If I don...I have found that I need to weigh daily. If I don't, I will allow myself more food until it's time for the monthly or weekly weigh in. When I was on vacation, I actually bought a scale at Target to keep in the condo, and it shaped up my eating right away.<br /><br /> We're all different--so we have the ability to do what is best for ourselves. If that means daily weigh ins, that's OK, as long as we understand that there is a range for normal fluctuations. <br /><br />JW is right--focusing on our actions, will bring results, no matter how often we weigh.E.
