Guest guest Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 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. Tilley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
