Day 11 on Phase 1
Things are going really well though weight loss has slowed waaaay down. I lost 4.4 the first week but in the few days since weigh in I've only lost .4. I am scale obsessed and I need to watch myself. I even went out and blew 50 bucks on a new scale because I thought mine was unreliable!!! I have been hearing about scale despair and that hits the nail on the head, that's me and I need to work on it. If the scale shows a loss I'm gung ho and do great, if it shows a gain for whatever reason, I panic, think I did something wrong, think it's not working so why am I expending so much energy and thought on a diet, etc etc. Blah! I will continue no matter what, I will see where my weight is after the end of this second week. I must say I've entertained the thought of sticking to phase 1 for one more week in case I DID make a mistake somewhere and maybe lose a little more before starting phase 2. Has anyone else done this and where did it get them? I'm really interested in knowing if it's a good or bad idea!
