Weight Loss Milestone

According to my home scale this morning*...

I AM NOT OBESE!!!!!


I am officially only overweight! :)

Next step - healthy-weighted!

*Yes, against the formal advice of Weight Watchers, I do weigh myself every morning. It works for me, and the reason it works for me is that (for the most part) I'm able to keep it as just a number, and as just feedback about the results of my actions. What I mean is that I don't take it personally. But I do take it seriously - I want to see the same number as the day before or a half pound less.

That said, the "weigh every day" method doesn't work for everyone - in fact, it used to not work for me. I was too emotionally attached to the number on the scale, and if I didn't see the number I wanted I developed a defeatist attitude. I was MUCH better off weighing only once a week!
