Farewell Scale! I will NOT miss you!
I am still thinking about putting my scale in a cupboard and only weighing in like once a month/two months. I don't know if I completely want to let go. But, I think I need to. And, I think I can. A scale may help some people. But it no longer helps me. It inhibits me.
I am confident that the way I am eating now is the right way.
I am confident that the way I am exercising now is right for me.
I am eating today like I want to eat everyday of my life. So, my body will naturally find a balance.
I am able to measure my success through many ways: little victories, looser pants/shirts, feelings/reason, etc...
I don't need a scale to tell me I'm doing well.
I don't need a scale to indicate my level of health (or my BMI).
I don't need a scale to interfere with my feelings of health, accomplishment, or success!
I don't need a scale to indicate when my body is readjusting.
Well, I guess I will let it go. Farewell scale!

I got some sugar free chocolate syrup to eat with my Breyer's fat free icecream in a small waffle bowl. It's a pretty good 2 point treat.

Comment by Ana on June 30, 2009 at 5:20pm - Yay Tanie!!! I hate not knowing if I gained or not but I think depending on that can drive you nuts! I'd rather go just by how I look and feel and check in on the scale once in awhile but that NEED to know makes me neurotic lol. I love your affirmations, good going hun!

Comment by Christine on June 30, 2009 at 4:00pm - yeh, I agree... scales are lame...there are much better markers of health... I think tracking calories and being more active is more than enough monitoring of yourself. Good luck--it is a tough habit to break :~)
