I have started the second week of P1 on yesterday. I feel great. I'm so happy that I made it through week one with relative ease. I haven't had any cravings and I've been eating very well and following the diet exactly. I have found this 'diet'...alhtough I hate to call it a diet because when I think of diet...I think of 'fad..short-term results' but this 'DIET' is a lifestyle ...it is just GREAT!!! I've gotten back to eating healthy. I had gotten off track after having my second baby last year. I had always been a healthy eater and a good exerciser and kept track of my weight but I got a little off track....now I'm back on thx to SBD!!
However, I have had a problem with keeping track of my progress. I have a scale in my bathroom and I used to weight myself every morning before starting this diet. Since starting this diet I just can't get on the scale. I planned to weigh myself yesterday but just couldn't do it. I looked at the scale and just couldn't get on it. So, I told myself that I would wait until today and now today is here and I didn't do it this morning. I just can't get on the damned thing!!! It is crazy!! I did notice that I have lost inches because when I ran out to the grocery last evening I pulled on a pair of black pants and they were a little more lose than normal. That made me feel great...but I still want to know the 'number' on the scale...
I only started out having about 7-10 pounds to lose to reach my target range. I must have lost something but I just can't bring myself to get on the scale or measure myself!
Anyone else experiencing this fear of the scale? I know it may sound ridiculous but it is a real issue for me. It is crazy. I've never been this way before.
