Eating Intuitively » Weigh Days http://www.eatingintuitively.com I have lost almost 90 pounds, and I'm still losing!

I’ve been sick. I’ve been on vacation. I ate lots of crap. So, how did the scale treat me?

My absence gave me time to think about what I need to do to get back on track and stay there. I know for sure this community is important. I have some more ideas, too. Stay tuned.

I don’t have a good excuse. The news isn’t terrible though.

I appreciate all of the great comments and encouragement. It’s a great community we have here, and I’m glad we can support each other as we take our journeys to healthier lives.

I know that can’t possibly be true, but doesn’t it sure seem that way sometimes? Feel free to call me crazy. I can take it.

Every Monday morning, I face off with the scale. It’s always a little give and take.

Last week started off strong but fell off a cliff near the end. How does this impact the scale? Play the video and find out. :)

Watch the video to find out how many times I dined at restaurants for my birthday.

Each Monday I need to be accountable for my actions for the previous week by getting on the scale. See if I was able to offset my excessive dining out with exercise and actually lose weight.

However, it is really time to get serious and make the scale go the other way. At least, with my scorecard/checklist, I don’t have selective memory about how I gained weight this week.

It’s the weekly reminder I need to stay focused on my goals.

I had a mixed week with some highs and some lows. From the Italian takeout to the nine-mile hike, it was hard to tell what the scale would show.

I share the results in this video.

The scorecard lists the big things I need to do on a daily basis to move me closer to my weight loss goals (e.g., eat well, drink water, exercise). It is a great visual; I can look at it quickly and see how I did for the week. Plus, it feels great to put a check in the box (as opposed to an X).

If you have a great memory, then you won’t need to do what I do. However, a lot happens in a week, so I want to make sure I am reminded of all of my actions.

Ideally, I get on the scale every Monday, but that has not been the case. However, I did it today, and I got a nice little surprise.

I finally came to an important realization which will be vital to my success as I lose these same pounds again. I am amazed I got stuck on this. Has this happened to you?
