48 DAYS WITHOUT A SCALE


 48 DAYS WITHOUT A SCALE

So after 11 months of weight loss and losing 100lbs my nutritionist & I have decided that I will not step on a scale until my next Appointment. My next appointment is October 10th. The reason for not stepping on the scale is to trust in myself that I have learned how to change my life and to not be so crazy about the numbers going up and down. This blog is going to be a collection of my feelings and pictures along the way. The weight I was yesterday at my nutritionist was 254.4 lbs.

I have decided to blog my morning feelings because I have noticed that is when I am most concerned about the number on the scale. I woke up today (Day 1) feeling confident in myself. I felt lighter and am curious to know but not desperate. I am looking forward to exercising today and eating right like normal without the confinement of a number.




DAY 2- Pictures & Thoughts

It is the morning of Day 2 and I am feeling a lot of anxiety. I want to step on the scale just to make sure I ate right and did everything they way I was supposed to yesterday. For the first 11 months of my journey I relied on the scale and my mind to know what I did right and wrong. Now its just me and I am a little afraid I am going to mess up. The pictures are almost identical so I am feeling positive about that. I am going to push through the anxiety and continue my journey.


DAY 3- Thoughts & Pictures

Woke up this morning feeling a little puffy but I also was on my feet all day yesterday. I was incredibly axious yesterday evening wondering if I was doing everything right but I think overall I am doing a great job without my scale. The pictures make me feel better. I see little things day by day that let me know I am doing a good job!

 I feel really swollen and agitated today. Feel like I look horrid and am incredibly uncomfortable in everything. Hopefully tomorrows a better day.

 DAY 5- Thoughts & Pictures

 I have been feeling very swollen lately and in a lot of pain. So if the pictures seem a little puffy I am. I am not too worried about it because it frequently happens depending on the day. Still driving me nuts not having my scale but I am pushing through.
