I am definitely a serial weigher! My official WI is Tuesday @ 5pm, but I will admit to getting on my home scales every morning whilst I am in the bathroom.
It used to be detrimental to my weight loss - if I was having a good week and it looked as though I'd lost quite a bit, I would think "ooh, well I can have an extra few Syns then".
Just recently I feel like I have really turned a corner though, and as cliche as it sounds, I feel like a new woman. I still get on the scales every morning, but instead of seeing a good result and then rewarding myself with more Syns, it seems to make me stick at it more and keep going until WI on Tuesday. I'm all about seeing those numbers drop and I'm determined to stop holding myself back from that.
This week I've been 100% on plan, but earlier in the week I was weighing in at around 12st 4lb - which would have been an unexplained gain from last Tuesday, when I weighed in officially at 12st 2.5lb. I stuck with it though, determined to get the scales moving.
This morning I weighed in at 12st 1lb, though I am still not confident of a loss tomorrow - I think I may have a maintain by the time I have eaten breakfast and lunch. I'm okay with it though, because I know that I've done everything I possibly could have and that it is just mother nature. Where as in the past I would have gone off plan and got cross with myself when I did not get the loss/maintain I wanted.
If I don't get a loss this week, it will come off next week. I can't complain afterall, I've lost 7.5lb in the last two weeks alone!!
