Re: 1 Month No Weigh Challenge!!!

Good morning my fellow no-scalers!!! GOD i was tempted this morning to go rummaging through the house, it's such a habit before I get int he shower in the mornings to weigh!!! But... resisted.. have even been going to the bathroom FURTHER from my office this morning to avoid the scale.
so ... 24 hours with no scale. I used a yummy omelette to help me resist my temptation this morning....

went to the gym with a friend last night and worked the heck outta some weight machines... my arms are hating me today... but that's okay. They'll get over it

Glad to see everyone is doing so well!!!!!!!

Re: 1 Month No Weigh Challenge!!!

Ok Day one again…
I don’t feel tempted today.. but it’s a nice feeling!

Without a scale, I just feel like I’m losing weight again (at least I’ll pretend)

Re: 1 Month No Weigh Challenge!!!

....how about, "testing" the scale at Walmart (or your local department store)? If you're caught unwrapping the scale, tell them you're simply test driving the scale to see if it works. Then tell them no thanks, it's obvsiouly malfunctioning.

Did someone say desperate??? Behave yourself Lisa! We're going to have to bail you out of jail for stealing scales I think! Lisa M. the natorious scale snatcher!

Barb! Good for you!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm really glad your chart wasn't around

I'm right there with you all...very tempted this morning. I feel skinny today and I know it's all in my head.

Furthermore, did any of you catch 28 Days on Lifetime last night!!!!!!!!!! Weird that i mentioned that flick the other day about our scale addictions! It was good last night, even though I've seen it 10 times!!!

Saty, there's no such thing as "stealing" if you haven't left the store with it. LOL! j/k.....

Yeah, and don't tell my daughters either...they think its a mortal sin to "taste" grapes or open a package of food before you pay for it. Geee...wonder where they get that from!

I didn't catch the movie, but I am there with you on the feeling skinny thing! So what if it's in our heads? Is that a BAD Thing?? So, we could jump on the scale and have it say whatever it says and then we move into the "feeling like a cow" feeling?? That is better? That is what I am trying to break! THAT exact control! Come on, positive thoughts here girlies!!

Re: 1 Month No Weigh Challenge!!!

Postive thoughts?? Hmm...let me think...

Not weighing every day...

#1..gives the mental feeling of losing weight
#2..gives the mental feeling of feeling good
#3..makes you skip on "chore" to do in the morning
#4..you don't have to get nekked every time you walk into the bathroom the check to see if the scale is working
#5..removes the feeling that you'll gain an ounce/pound if you drink that 32oz of water

How's those for starters?



Sarah~I feel for ya. My ankles are swollen and I've got a zit the size of Mt. St. Helens. Nice.

Awesome Lisa!
For me it's not walking ACROSS the house to use the KIDS bathroom (where the scale was) and everyone ROLLING their eyes and saying "MOOOOOOOOOOOOM" (ummmmm 50 times a day?)

Re: 1 Month No Weigh Challenge!!!

my biggest thing, however, is not starting the day feeling discouraged! Really. That is what I am gaining from this.
Sarah and I had talked about this a LOT. The scale is just such a deterrent (i know that is probably spelled wrong) You do everything right, you eat right, you workout, and yet, you get NO validation from that stupid box! So, you get up, use the bathroom and get naked on the scale. Why BOTHER???
Well, when I REALLY think about it.........
2 years ago my doctor told me I was a stroke waiting to happen. If I lasted 5 years without stroking out, he would be amazed.
5 years? Heck! I still had a kid at home. 1 in college, and 1 on his way to being a "grown up" Holy crap!
I was only 44 years old! My grandkids were going to know me as a "stroke victim" and it was going to be by my OWN doing?
NOPE. Not going to happen if I could help it!
Anyway, I am rambling. BUT...........
My last blood work results were GREAT. So......... OK, I have not reached my ultimate "goal weight", maybe it is unattainable for me. I am HEALTHY! I should be HAPPY! And I should NOT be a slave to a number on a stupid scale to tell me how my day or my mental attitude is going to go!

Re: 1 Month No Weigh Challenge!!!

Lisa - I'm going to pretend I weigh 157 and hope I weigh it at the end! Everyday I'll just think I weigh 157! Oh yes, and I can drink more water without worrying about the weight gain... good point...LOL! Hey I love your Siggy Pic.!

Barb... I am going to think positive... I weight 157 ( hopefully that's what it'll say on August 9th, I'm just going to keep thinking that way! PLUS, you already look great!If I could look that great in a jean skirt, I'd put the scale away permanently!
