My Scale is Broken...

So I'm needing a pep talk. It's just been one of those weeks and the last thing I feel like doing is working on weight loss. I know that Wednesday is supposed to be my weight-down day, but I don't want to go near that scale - so I'm pretending it's broken. Then I don't have to feel guilty. Yesterday I ate too much. Today I haven't eaten enough. Maybe tomorrow will be better, we'll see.

I can't be the only one who goes through these rough stages. I want to be outside, not sitting at my computer letting the world know that I'm fat. But, if I'm honest with myself, I know that ultimately this is what helps me stay on track - keeps me from going off the deep end. This is my "weight watchers" - literally - because people are watching me try to lose weight.

I wish I had an encouraging word for today, but I'm going to have to dig pretty deep to find it. I guess I'll just say that it's important to not let yourself get discouraged. And if you do get discouraged, don't go out and do something stupid - like eat a whole bag of chips or something like that. Which I haven't done, thank goodness! Because then I'd have to 'fess up and that would be horrible!!

So, even though my scale is "broken" today, I will smile and drink my water and eat my salad and be thankful that I'm on the right track to a healthier me. After all, not every day can be perfect.

Ugh?

All I'm going to say is that I'm having one of those "I-feel-fat" days. I hate these days.

I feel guilty for everything that goes into my mouth.

I'm dreading the Wednesday weigh in - I'm positive it will be a positive number and so I don't even want to go near the scale.

I want to be on "Biggest Loser" so that Jillian can kick my butt into gear and make me wish I was dead.

I think I could devour an entire gallon of ice cream if given the chance.

I have been searching all day for my motivation to get moving and I have no clue where it is.

I'm sick of drinking water. It tastes bland.

I would love to drink an entire bottle of wine. Moscato D'Asti if you're asking.

I want to sit on the couch and watch hours of tv.

I'm seriously craving fresh salsa. Or chocolate. Or ice cream. Or wine.

Funny, I'm starting to feel better just writing this.

Hmmm.

This is very interesting.

I think I'll do some jumping jacks and alternate with my exercise bike.

A glass of Crystal Light tea is sounding tasty.

Maybe a little popcorn.

Thank you for this! I really do feel better!

Healthy me - Here I come!

It's Challenge Monday - here's the challenge:
