Full Version: I trashed it!!!
I THREW my scale away! YEAHHHH! Its not about the number on the scale, but how you feel, right? So why have this scale laying around that can easily discourage! I just had to share...I feel very good about it!

Hey Melissa! Good for you! Isn't it funny how we can get so caught up with numbers? Age, weight? Etc. It can really prevent you from living life if you let it. Trust me... I know. I've always been weight obsessed... pretty much all my life. I still am. I've had two kids. I am still trying to drop weight from this last pregnancy (my son is nearly 3 months old now). I have 10 lbs more to go before I'm back to my pre preg. weight. I weigh myself constantly. While I was pregnant, I too trashed my scale. I refused to weigh in. I knew I was gaining enough weight to remain healthy and produce a healthy baby. It was too easy for me to get depressed when I saw the numbers going up up and up. It was a healthier decision to STOP weighing myself. Amazing how free you feel when you don't chain yourself to a stupid scale. LOL. Now that my son is here, I have to admit I'm weighing constantly again. I saw your post here and it's really bringing me back to my senses. I know the weight will come off. I work out a lot... I eat right.... and I have 2 wonderful kids. I just have to relax and just be patient. More importantly... HAPPY. Thanks for reminding me that the numbers don't really define you as a person. Although I can't wait to be back at my prepregnancy weight, I know I can't consume my every thought with it.
Thanks again for the reminder!!!!
Cheers!

Hi Ms. Munchy
It's all about what makes YOU feel good, right? The scale. The scale can be my best friend or it can be my worst friend. Either way, I will always keep it around. Sometimes those numbers are motivation for me, when it's a downer I don't dare get near it. But when it's my friend I'm weighing myself like everyday.
Here's to feeling GOOD. Cheers.
