Re: Roll Call 1/14/2010
Good conversation here today. I have to say that I'm on the side of Tfek. I weigh every day, usually more than once. I know if I weigh before bed that I will be down just about 3.2 pounds from that weight by morning IF I drank enough water that day. I've never understood the philosophy of wanting to avoid the scale, as far as I'm concerned avoiding the scale is what got me into this position to begin with. Had I weighed like this when I was 105 pounds, I surely would have stopped myself before exceeding 200 pounds. But I don't let what the scale says dictate my day either, I am able to remove my emotions from the equation and accept that the number on the scale is what it is and all I can do is use it as a tool to help keep me on the right path. But however, if it causes one emotional pain and puts them in bad frame of mind, I can see the good in avoiding it, but for me it does just the opposite, reminds me to watch every single thing that I ingest.
