Day 5

 

Ok so I am going to admit that yes I am a scale addict, admittedly I do love to see that the numbers are going down daily but I am scared what affect it will have on me once the weight loss slows.

I weigh in every day. I don't know why I do it...maybe because I expect to see some crazy number or something. Its disheartening to find you've only lost 200 grams in the course of a couple of days when you didn't cheat or actually worked harder at your goal. But I guess a lot of factors come in to play, like water retention etc. But even knowing that, I still like to weigh in. Self punishment I guess....

Cohen's insists that you do your measurements weekly because you will see more results this way and weigh ins are only once a month when I go into the clinic, this is strictly taboo.

How can I stop getting on the scales? Why do I feel that I really need to?
