Scale fixation ended :)

until today I have not stepped on a scale in two months and I am proud to report I still am the same wt!

I just wanted to get over the fixation with the scales and I figured if I just ignored the scales and went by how I feel in my clothes and how my body felt in general I would be fine ..

this has been so hard

..today I am at work and just walked by one and thought what the helll and stepped on it ...

what a relief to know I am still where I was 2 months ago...

I have never ever had the feeling of wt stability in my life!

I am so happy I had to share it is wonderful feeling this way!!!

thanks for all your support ..you guys it is so true the more you give in live the more you get back in return and you have given me so much food for thought ..I hope this helps some of you see that we do not have to spend the rest of our lives thinking about how to get and stay thin if you just choose to eat well and move your body

Heidi, that's wonderful! What a high, to be able to live healthfully, happily, and without worrying every moment about losing what you've acheived. This is wonderful inspiration... I still have quite a while in OWL yet, but your words have given me something to look forward to down the road! Thanks.

Isn't it a great feeling Heidi? I haven't weighed in 7 weeks now. I'd gone from twice a day, to once a week to once a month. Last month I actually forgot to weigh! I'm strictly going by how my clothes fit and how i feel.

OMG It is amazing feeling to give up an obsessive behavior ...when I started here I could not go a day with out stepping on the scales ..sometimes two to three times a day ..especially when I was dropping wt quickly ..that compulsion it gone ...

I still have my fears of wt gain and I am still compulsive about what I eat ....but this is one more thing I have let go of and I am so glad I am not the only one

you know exactly how I feel letting go of that

WooHoo!! Yay!!

I will eventually have to stop weighing daily. I have managed to stay off of it this week, though, it's TOM and I know what numbers the scale will spit at me are not accurate, okay, yes, it's accurate but not a good reflection of my normal weight.

Good job, Heidi! You are an inspiration for us roly poly shorties.

I thought that when I headed down to Florida for my Disney trip that the week would break my scale addiction. See I just knew that with 6 days of walking and staying on plan I would drop a couple pounds and that after that I would just go by how my clothes fit. NOT! I stayed on plan, ate well, kept up with my water and still came home 2 lbs. heavier than I left. Really know it was the heat that just made me retain water (which I did drop within a couple days of being home) but now the scale is just stuck. So long story short...or shorter....I still am jumping on the scale first thing every morning. Addictions are hard to break, but better to the scale than to icecream like I used to be.

Atkid I gain water wt everytime I go to Florida ..it is crazy no matter how well I eat

I love you guys btw

some days Momma I am still that rolly polly shorty ....and other days I am just a shorty fortunatly the shorty days are more frequent than they used to be!

What a GREAT insight Heidi. I still have just a couple lbs, but once I truly do get to goal and maintain my CCCL/ACE as well, I'm going to try it your way.
