Ditching the Scale....

I know I said I was going to do this a long time ago, but I didn't, because I

was scared to, but I finally did, about a month ago, and the results have been

most interesting. I was really really scared that I was gaining weight because

I wasn't weighing myself every day, and I think I was, because my new pants are

snugger, but I realized that I was using the scale for outside confirmation of

what I was doing. Eat a lot of salty junk food? The scale will be up a couple

pounds. Eat healthier foods, the scale will be down a couple pounds. Why did I

need a scale to tell me that?

Lately I've been having really wicked headaches that I think are somehow related

to too much salt (they feel like when I periodically stop taking the diuretic

that I take for an inner ear disorder,mot see if I can get along without it),

and I've been craving more vegetables, and not wanting anything salty, and then

one day I woke up feeling great, and my first thought was, I bet the scale will

finally be down a couple pounds, and then I realized what a stupid thought that

was. So what? I feel great. I don't need a number to tell me anything. Did I

ever weigh myself once as a child? No. I don't remember us even having a

scale. I don't need a scale to tell me when I'm being good to my body and when

I'm not; I can just consult my body.

It's still a little scary for me, but I've said I'll give it a year. So many

of you said to ditch it, and now I have. It's taken me awhile to accept that

this really probably is better.
