To Weigh or Not To Weigh

To weigh or not to weigh .....that is the question. I recently read an article in Prevention magazine stating that daily weighing is a habit of most people that are successful at weight loss. The idea behind this habit is, that a person that weighs daily adjusts their daily eating to make sure they don't gain. Weight Watchers advocates weekly weighing. I personally feel that weighing twice a week is a good idea during the weight loss process. It too easy to get depressed and obsessive with daily weight flucuations. Right now I weigh on Sat. and either Tues or Wed.

I actually think daily weighing would be more beneficial after a person reaches their goal weight. That is when I plan on being a daily weigher..

I am thinking the new grill might be a bad thing...we have now had pizza two days in a row. I have been using flex points to accomodate the pizza but I can't keep on with this daily pizza stuff. The rest of this week, I need to really tow the mark.

A couple of days ago I e-mailed a "letter to the editor" of Redbook Magazine regarding the 3 ladies doing the lifestyle challenge. Surprise, surprise today I got an e-mail back stating they might use my letter in the Sept. issue and they needed my full name. Cool...I might have to buy one if they do.

Today is day 31 and I am still OP but need to really watch it the rest of the week and I CAN do that. Remember--IF IT IS TO BE IT IS UP TO ME!!--
Mary you can do this, and you want to do this. Be strong--be focused--and be successful.
