    Re: Weigh? No Way! Challenge #8

    Wednesday morning 24 March. I did not weigh myself, but I talked about it with my DH last night and this morning. Instead he took my waist measurements this morning which was somewhat lower than 2 days ago. But that number could be in the error range.
    Actually, on the other hand I don't want to weigh, because the longer I wait the bigger the chance of a lower scale number, right?

    I feel a bit insecure right now.

        Thank you Shannon. It feels so good not to go through this alone. The power of the forum. I never believed in it until I came here

            This is day 3 & I have not steppped on the scale, this is the longest I have gone without my scale. I am very proud of it but I have a feeling there won't be a difference or even a gain so I am not looking forward to Sunday.

Something unexpected if you will. If I am not weighing every day to see if I lose weight, then hmm... maybe this is just the way I eat, my way of life, not my "DIET". I *thought* I knew that, but maybe I didn't. huh

                            ditto what i said in the last post for y'all too.
                            not only are you staying scale free but you're really looking after what you are eating. i do hope that the reward at the end of this challenge is not just the trinket you earn but with a pleasing number on the scale.

                              i want to address something that i keep forgetting to put in the first post. the subject always comes up though so i'll just take care of it now.


                              if you have a doctors appointment scheduled during the challenge, you will be 'forgiven' for weighing that day. it's happened to me in almost all the no scale challenges since i have to see my 2 oncologists every 3 months and every 6 months. i've asked to not be weighed but that doesn't fly with either doctor. they weigh and i look away and ask not to be told what the scale showed.

                              i do have a check up with my radiology oncologist on friday. i've asked them before if we could bypass the weighing but they said 'no'. they have to make sure i am not gaining or losing any significant amount of weight which could alert them to any more cancer or radiation problems.

                              any questions?
