Well I am glad to hear that you did okay even though you were not all that accountable. I have little room to talk about accountability. It has been 1 week since I tracked anything on my blog. I have not WI’ed in two weeks either. So today I got back on track and wrote down what I ate (even if it was not healthy) and I plan to WI tomorrow. I think I will not be as lucky as you though. I will have probably gained a little. But that is okay. I have so many motivating people (you, my DH and DBF) to help me want to stay on track.

Not checking in with the scales and gaining weight sure can go hand in hand – in either order! Just last night, my scales went on the blink (I think the battery’s dead), right in time for my weekly weigh in. And immediately, my brain started thinking crazy things about how it doesn’t matter if I indulge in some extra eating or skip my morning workout! Because the scales won’t be able to tell me the effect! Luckily I saw these crazy thoughts for what they are. Scary!

Hi Roni,

I’ve done that before, too – ignored it. But at least I’m aware of it now and I don’t need to continue that action anymore.

Congratulations on taking the step towards awareness, and then finding out that you’ve been worried over nothing! :)

Congratulations to you for making the decision to go in for the weigh-in! Not to mention the loss :-)

Roni,
This week I had a similar situation. My family had to make an unscheduled trip out of town and we were gone for a week. While being out of town and in someone else’s house, it is very hard to stay on track; you don’t want to be too big of a burden. So while there, I “helped” with the cooking and no one complained. ;-)
When we got back home, I was a little nervous about weighing in. I just had a baby and started back and just didn’t want to see a positive number right after I hit my first 5 lbs mark. But after long deliberation with myself, I thought I would rather see a positive this week and know exactly how much I lose next week than skipping and not knowing.
In the end I only gained .2lbs. Heck that may have been from the big necklace I was wearing, ha. I feel proud of myself for being accountable and awareness.
Big pats on both of our backs!
P.S. I love reading your blog, I stay so motivated. HUGS!

I can relate to this in a big way. It’s amazing how your concept of indulgence changes after being on a steady eating plan. The littlest thing suddenly seems like an absolute deal breaker and you’re hyper aware of it – at least I am.

Sometimes the scale can be your friend! Reminds you just how far you’ve come on the journey :)
