In the midst of all these NSV's, the scale is actually moving UP.
I am seriously thinking of parting ways with the scale. I'm talking putting it in a high shelf in the basement. Here's what I think might be going on.
1. In the midst of seeing nice shape happening things with my midsection, the scale freaks me out by going UP.
2. When the scale's not freaking me out, it encourages me (to eat junk bc I won't get caught cuz I'm doing so well!)
3. So then I have a fall-down (think 2 weeks ago).
4. And somewhere in the midst of all this insanity, I've lost over 30 pounds. (But gee, in 6 months, could it have really been 50? Or 60?)
So I'm thinking that really, this scale does nothing for me. I'm in a challenge in another forum where I need to weigh weekly, and seriously, that is the ONLY thing that gives me any reason NOT do this. I know I could still weigh just once a week (and NOT do the dance of the magic tiles), but, even that seems like it could be too much.
So has anyone tried to banish the scale? And did it backfire and get you more off plan, or was it actually the mental salvation you needed to stay POP and not play headgames with yourself? Dear Abbies, please advise me. Should I just preoccupy myself with organizing my Netflix queue and let everything else analytical go out the window?
