Hi everyone! Really well done on you all for keeping the scales in the wardrobe etc, I couldnt do it - when I hid my scales, I just got them out again. Even kept them in the car and was known to go out in my dressing gown in the morning to get them lol! If anyone has had a sneaky peak, dont worry, remember you are amongst friends!!
My scales are in another town ha ha so Ive been scale-free all week so my food decisions and emotions have had NOTHING to do with what I weigh at that particular hour - I must have been letting the numbers absolutely rule my life for me to feel as absolutely liberated and free as I do!!
Weigh in for me is tomorrow and I have not the foggiest clue if Ive gained, STS or lost. All I can say is that Ive had 5 perfect days and 2 not so perfect but nowhere near as off track as normal. Eg Fri night I did have a couple of large glasses of wine and some chocolate which took me over 15 syns but lately, that would have included a takeaway too whereas this Friday I had egg, syn-free chips and beans! Saturday I was at Wetherspoons and I had the 5-bean chilli for 4.5 syns. Im positive if Id looked at my weight I would have either relaxed and had a burger or something if Id shown a good loss, or thought "sod it" if Id shown a gain.
Regardless of the numbers tomorrow morning, I know the following:-
1. Ive had my first scale-free week for about 4 years!
2. Ive stuck to the plan more than I have for weeks.
3. Ive exercised 5 or 6 times.
4. I have not had any numbers floating around in my head to influence my mood or my eating.
So - its all good. If I put on or sts tomorrow then I know its those couple of days slightly off plan and I will rectify this for next weigh in. If Ive lost then I will be pleased! Either way, Im more happy about breaking my addiction than any other thing!
Hope to hear from you all with how your weeks are going
