    Don't let the scale rule your world! Pt. 2

    Sigh...can I get some love? So I did the no weigh challenge which was Mon-Friday and technically I started on Sunday since I weighed myself last Saturday. Today I decided to weigh myself now that the challenge was over, as well as reinduction to see what I lost in week 2. Hubby had hid the scale on me and when I told him I wanted to weigh myself he asked "Why?" He said, "You're doing so good without it, you're happy and not stressing or crying over what it says, I think you should just forget that stupid thing." Sweetheart. And he also reminded me that I have a show tonight and I shouldn't get upset before the show. But I still wanted the scale because I needed to see the final results of reinduction AND I was gonna have him hide it on me for a full MONTH again, so I HAD to see if I lost something. I FEEL thinner. So I went potty (both 1&2 TMI i know) put my hair up in a ponytail (what?) stripped completely nude, did 20 wall pushups and then stepped on. At one point he said why are you holding your boobs? I don't know maybe I thought it would make me weigh less? If you're still reading this post and are wondering what I lost...
    ZERO, ZIP, ZILCH, NADA----NOT ONE MFING POUND!!!!
    I then proceeded to start crying. I'm working out every day, eating what I'm supposed to, WHY is the scale doing this to me. Then he hugs me and says, see I told you not to step on the scale. He says he thinks that I'm building muscle because I sure the **** look smaller. I don't believe him. He said he wished I would've taken pictures to tell. I said I did, it wasn't on the first day but about 5 days after so like 10-11 days ago. So I'm gonna take pictures and see if there's a difference and I'm having him hide the scale. This is a WOL, I'm not going to let this scale rule my world and I'm gonna quit acting like it's a damn slot machine and expect it to "pay out" after each day I eat right and exercise! Eating right and exercise should be a normal part of my routine, like sleeping and breathing. And the scale is out of here until next month. Off to take my pictures!

    AW HUN Big hugs all the way from England coming your way xxxx


    What a nightmare! You can see why people get demotivated when that happens. I am sure your man is right and that you have lost inches. The pics are a good idea. Are you going to do them once a month? Are you going to weigh once a month?

    I am sure you are looking fabulous. Keep up the good work and keep your chin up xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

      Did you take pictures and measurements?

      It's such a HUGE part of this journey, you're in this for the long haul. You didn't gain any weight, and I'd bet you a dollar you've lost inches!

        Aww, Dog gone it! You are a funny lady! You had me laughing and crying . You know what? I was with you the whole way on the No Way No Weigh Challenge and I remember you telling us your plan. Your DH knows you pretty darn good, doesn't he? I believe he's right, that you have lost inches. You see, I chose not to weigh after the challenge. Instead I measured my waiste. I last measured March 1st and since then I've lost an inch. So see, your tape measure will become a better friend than the evil scale.
        I have to ask you, are you a comedian? I know you're an actress, but you sure have a great sence of humor. I'd come watch your show!
        Hang in there sweetie! Like you said, just focus on healthy eating and your exercise, the weight is coming off along with inches. They have a tendancy to take turns with results.
        Wishing you a wonderful show tonite!

          Did you take your measurements?? I think we talked about this maybe in the STAC forum. The scale lies, is evil & just plain sucks! There are other ways to measure your success. I know from reading your posts that you are feeling better!! Are your clothes fitting better? Do you have more energy? Are you sleeping better?

          I adore your sense of humor!!!

            Awww thanks Sherr!!! And yes I am also a comedian in all forms, stand up, sketch, and now improv and comedy writing! So your comments bucked up my spirits too! LOL! And you're right hubby knows me! And so he took pictures and THERE IS A DIFFERENCE! I took the first set of pics on 2/28 and these 3/8 so in 9 days I could already see a difference! And I remember you and Snap talking about no weighing until the CC challenge was over on the 21st right? Good idea with the measuring. I need to get a darn tape measure but I'm gonna keep a photo log of my progress, a picture a month! I'm (gulp) gonna go post my pictures in the "before and after" forum. If you really want me to make you laugh, go look at those pics! LOLOL!
            Thanks again Sherri!

              Thanks Oz! It's an improvised Soap Opera set in 1968, Chicago, a BIG year of change in the U.S. And I'm playing Mama Cass, of course, right? It's okay though she was one talented lady with a beautiful voice and a good sense of humor and she had so many issues with her weight, something I am understand VERY well! LOL! Joe Flaherty from SCTV fame is our director too and I'm such a big fan so I'm excited to be apart of the show!

                      I hope the show went well and that you are feeling better now.

                      I also laughed out load at your post (especially the putting hair up bit!) but didn't want to say anything as you sounded so fed up. It all makes sense now I know you're a comedian as you are sooooooooo funny and make me laugh all the time.
