Scales... it's a love hate thing!

I usually weigh myself every day but I'm trying to get out of that habit as I seem to have a love hate relationship with the scales! On one hand, I love seeing them go down. But on the other hand, our weight naturally fluctuates and I hate seeing them go up or stay the same! I also hate weighing in on a monday, having a decent loss and then being disappointed that even though I lost, it wasn't as low as it had been on the scales in the week.

But in a way, they're good at keeping me on track too. I jump on and see it getting lower and that's my motivation for the day. After my fat feeling last night I decided to jump on the scales, realising that this could make or break me today but deciding that even if it wasn't a number that I wanted to see (though I'm far off a number I want to see!) I wouldn't let myself get stressed about it (I did let myself have a little bit of a naughty meal last night, still within calories, but that might have had a temporary effect) and would just use it to motivate myself to try even harder.

So I did jump on and I'm now ?st 1.75lbs! Started at ?st 3.5lbs on Sunday, so that's 1.75lbs in just three days, definitely happy with that! One day I'll have the guts to reveal the ? number, I guess I'm just paranoid in case someone I know somehow finds this as anyone who has ever known my weight has been pretty surprised, not realising it was so high and I'd like to keep those illusions unshattered! haha After what felt like a slow loss last week and a fat day last night, seeing this on the scales has really boosted my confidence, was just what I needed! I'm not counting it as my weigh in though, that's done on Sunday mornings only. I wonder if I could lose another 2lbs by Sunday morning and get into the next stone down! Unlikely but a girl can dream!

I've definitely started my day with a bounce in my step now! I think I'm going to try and do some of my aerobics and pilates DVDs today, I don't have much to do as I'm only working Friday and then not til next weekend! Will make the wait for the results from my interview seem longer! I got a £10 Tesco moneycard for a complaint that I made, so I might take that off to Tesco and see if they sell any hand weights. I'm not sure tins or bottles of water are quite cutting it!
