I will admit my relationship with the scale needs improvement, but I see my relationship with both it and food the same I would see it as the one I might have with another person, or rather, myself.
Because it’s not the scale I’m truly upset with when things don’t go my way… it’s myself.
I have tried not to weigh daily. I have tried to throw away the scale or whatever, but the truth is it has become an important part of my journey and when things go bad, I tend to freak out and blame the scale but I just had the epiphany that it is not the scales fault. Sometimes it’s entirely my own because I lack acceptance of the fact that the body does mysterious things with itself and my own toxic belief that I can’t live until I’ve reached thin.
Today I felt so defeated and depressed because I weighed in at 239 compared to 237.4 on Tuesday… but then I saw this beautiful fluctuation and I came to understand why I weigh myself daily.
The weight loss journey has definitely slowed down a bit from my SW of 318 last August to CW of 238.2 now (going by the moving average the app gave me) and suddenly I don’t feel so defeated anymore because even though I’ve only really lost 14 pounds in the past 3 months or so, that trendline is still going on an epic downward slope.
I am winning and I am never giving up. I might not hit 200 at the end of the year but I will be so happy to hit 220.
