    Scared

    Hello

    I have been going back and forth as to whether I should move to OWL or stay on extended induction. The reason?!?!? I absolutely do not want to become scale obsessed like I did the first time in 2004. In order to find my CCLL I will need to keep an eye on the tape measure and a scale. Is there anyway I can get around this? Would using only a tape measure be as effective? Any ideas and advice would be appreciated!

    Thank you in advance!

    The scale is fickle. If you are going to let a bounce of a couple of pounds do you in, I'd go with the tape measure and the feel of your clothes. Pick a pair of jeans and a shirt that are just too tight to be comfortable and try them on once a week. Clothes and the tape measure don't lie--the scale is a pathalogical liar!

    People who say it can't be done, should not interrupt those doing it.

      Thank you Sunny! I don't think a pound jump would do me in, I'm here to stay. I just don't want to get into the habit of weighing myself everyday and then living by the scale. It's truly no way to live and it can become discouraging. That's why I'd rather use a tape measure if at all possible.
