Abandoning the scale - prefer to let the body show me
Something Ive realised doing atkins is that the scale puts a real downer on me to the point of making me feel like giving up if the number is stalling or even if I've gained a bit despite following the program. And a scale is unfair on women at certain times of the month.
But noticing the change in my body is so empowering and motivating - thats whats keeping me going for it - because Im liking the results in the mirror and how I feel in my clothes.
I've decided to abandon the scale completely. Maby a weigh in when I feel Ive lost a lot. I'm not losing weight to gain power over a scale - Im doing it to feel and look good - which the scale doesnt show me. Bye scale. Don't wanna play your game anymore ![Smilie](/images/smilies/smile.gif)
