My first "real" weigh-in as part of the Wellness Center's weight-management program is this evening. I'm sure I've lost weight, obviously. But I find myself already obsessing about the scale. On Saturday I had seen the number 224, down from 229 that previous Tuesday. This morning I got on the scale and it read 225.
Why did that bother me? A loss is a loss, right? I'm so ultra-competitive, even against myself, that any upward motion at all disappoints me. Solution? No scale between weigh-ins. Sure, that's easy to say, but the scale has often provided me with a mid-week boost to the spirits, or even a mid-week kick-in-the-pants.
I guess that's why I'm in this program. I'll try to bring this personal issue up tonight.
