Tuesday is traditionally our weigh day. Husband is a consistent weigher; I am less so depending on how fat I feel. This morning I decided to 'feel the fear and do it anyway' - Nike has a lot to answer for - so plucked up my courage and got on the scales.
It wasn't as bad as I expected.
I put on a lot of weight over our holiday and it's been rising gradually since but I felt I'd eaten so much recently that it would have leapt up. So just a little, as in .2 kg, was a plus from my point of view.
So today's weight is 60.8 kg or - hang on while I convert it - 134 lbs, which is 9 st 8 lbs.
That's 5 lbs above the weight I'd like to be. Not horrendous but unless I take care my weight will continue to creep up so must stop now.
The dilemma I have is the same as that described by Briony in her comment on my previous post. Chopping and changing between feeling 'healthy so what's a little extra weight?' and 'but I feel more confident and happier when I'm thinner.'
I think I could write pages about the influence of the media and my own insecurities but perhaps that's for another day.
For today, I'll try to be sensible.
Love the comment on my name and the B.Hind, gave me a giggle.
ReplyDeleteI actually got rid of my scales years ago figuring that I would know if I had put weight on by the fit of my jeans, its worked so far. The little dog was made by me and is crochet, I just added the fur to make him look more realistic. I forget where I found the pattern but it was online somewhere free.

I am always impressed by people's crafting abilities.
DeleteWeight is a constant problem with me, but I never weigh, even when I'm dieting and losing.
ReplyDeleteThat chair that you commented on, came from Sue when we got married. I think it used to be her piano chair before that. But maybe I'm confused with a different chair.
This not weighing seems to be popular but when i do it I just gain weight.
