weighing yourself daily can be dispiriting indicators of progress and can compel you to forfeit entirely to a day filled with unnecessary exorbitant indulgences that may have been easily avoidable if you treated yourself once in awhile.
something i should apply to my strict weekday diet to refrain from shamefully devouring 3 paulette macarons or 4 different slices of cake in one sitting.
there's no point to eating healthy during the week if you're overindulging over the weekend. those 2 days are enough to throw you off your whole week and it takes about that time to get back into the shape you were prior to friday and by then, the weekend has arrived. it is nothing but a vicious cycle of eating.
gotta run, update later!

I used to have this problem, so I started weighing myself only once a week, on Monday morning, and it has completely changed my weekend eating habits. I still sneak a peek at the scale here and there, but I am not as obsessed with the number as I used to be.
ReplyDeleteI weigh almost every day too. Just out of curiousity but I only officially weigh on Mondays and actually record that weight in my tracker. What sucks is when I weighed less before Monday and on Monday I the lbs have gone up. yeah sucks....
ReplyDeletei'm trying to avoid doing it but it's a bad habit i have every morning...sometimes i even weight myself 2-3 times a day :( how to get myself to change is the challenge now. boo.
