And you know that's what I was worried about with putting the scale away too. And then well if I don't weigh for a week... and if that felt good... why not wait for another week? And then another? You know???
Well, you kind of didn't ask for opinions. Sounds like you had already made up your mind and we all need to figure out for ourselves what works and what doesn't. And I'm more then aware that what works for me, could be disastrous to another. And if truth be told, ummm, I kinda knew that you would be hopping back on that scale. I'm glad you figured it out on your own, as I knew you would. And I'm even happier that your stall is finito.
I really figured it was just your normal run of the mill average stall. But could you imagine if it hadn't been? And you avoided that scale?What if it really did last 4 weeks? After about 2 weeks of a stall, I personally would change things up a bit. And if you avoid the scale, you've got no way to know what's happening - or not happening. It's your body. You have the right to know what's going on with it. We've got this tool available to us. It just makes sense to me to use it. With a grain of salt of course. But use it and don't fear it.
Oka,y this whole speech about the scale? It just hit me how funny this sounds coming from someone who hid from that "tool" for close to 15 years. Wow. Habits really
can be broken. Tis' a good thing. Cause' I had some really, really bad ones.
