Default Giving in but not giving up

What I mean is - I'm giving in and have weighed myself but I'm not giving up on the diet! I had said I wasn't going to weigh anymore as I find it too depressing and I binge when I gain weight, but what I'm finding is that without the "monitoring" of weighing and knowing how well I am or not doing has meant I'm drifting a bit. I'm not following a diet, just eating healthily and I have lost some weight as my measurements show a loss and clothes fit better, but it's not the same incentive as weighing and I feel I need to get back on track and see and celebrate the losses each week (being positive here that I will be losing each week). I just think I need the control of weighing myself as without it, it doesn't matter quite so much if I lose or not, and therefore if I go off plan or not - if you see what I mean. I'm finding that by not "dieting" i.e. following a regimented plan it's helping me to stop binging every time I come off the diet and I am definately seeing an improvement in that, but I do need to weigh.

So, as of this morning I weighed 11.7½ - which is not good - as I thought I was less than that, I hate to think how much I was after Christmas then, doesn't bear thinking about!! So I'm looking to lose about 2 stone to get down to around 9½ which is a good weight for a little 5'3er. So I'll be joining in the "weigh-ins" (was feeling left out anyway) from now on.

Take care all

xx
