stepping on the scale...

[bitebybyte]

i have such a love/hate relationship with the scale. i'm neurotic about it. i step on it everyday at home, and it makes me either super happy when i see it drop down, or sends me reeling into depression when it goes up. Digital scales are even worse. I never used to be neurotic about .2 lbs; now, if that's what I gain, I feel bad about myself

I hate the scale for those very reasons. I'm relying more on the measuring tape nowadays. I celebrate 6.5 inches lost these past 10 weeks...but I've only lost maybe 1-2 lbs. BIG difference.

yay! congratulations! When I first started back in '03, my personal trainer would keep all of my measurements, so I was rarely faithful about doing that, but you're right, I remember that when I was disappointed in the shift of the scale, she'd take my measurements and I'd feel better. :-) I think I'm going to the starting measurements this weekend, post them here, and then track that along with my weight!
