I usually weigh in once a week on Sunday mornings, but it seems like every time I weigh myself whether i do great & lose lbs or do bad & don't lose anything, i tend to cheat & overeat the day of my weigh in.
For example last week I weighed in lost 1 lbs, binged that day bc I was disappointed (had to be the reason) This week , yesterday when I weighed myself I lost 5lbs the whole week & binged yesterday too, not completely crazy but had things I shouldn't have and ate 1000 cals over then I normally would. Why is it that I'm doing this???!? I need to stop b/c If I don't I will just be maintaining my weight instead of losing or even possibly gain and it also messes with my mental mindset.
I'm thinking of doing a 6 week challenge & not weigh myself for 6 weeks just so I don't cheat everything I weigh in but continue to do what I know works, and see where I'm at in 6 weeks. How does that sound? I was watching Extreme Makeover Weight Loss Edition & the trainer Chris wouldn't let them see how much they lost till their 3 months was up, bc he said he wants them to just focus on the nutrition & exercise part. Which that's a pretty good idea.
SO i think me not weighing for 6 weeks will be beneficial for me.
Any words of encouragement or advice?
