I had been neglecting my routine health care for years, in part because I had anxiety about being weighed (my constant refrain: "I'll lose the weight first, then I'll make a doctors appointment!").
Now, in the interest of being a grown adult lady who values my health, I have been going to doctors' appointments left and right (also the dentist, and an actual hairdresser that is not Super Cuts), and of course the first thing they do (after taking your temperature) is have you step on a scale.
But after approximately 116 days of daily weigh-ins (the first few weeks in kilograms, which was somehow less jarring), I am over my scale anxiety. I even keep my eyes opened.
The number on the scale is just a data point, much like my blood pressure. And even though it is ~4 pounds heavier than I was when I weighed myself in the morning (because clothes have mass), it is not a reflection of my value as a person, it is just a number.
Edit: and to please automod, I am:
F, 30's, 5'2 (with a very small frame)
HW: 150ish
SW 11/30/20: 141.2
CW: 116.4 as of this morning
GW: 110-115
And I've achieved that via Intermittent fasting (16:8), CICO, lowering refined carbs, exercise (jogging, yoga, body weight exercises, small dumbbells), and running around with my kids.
