Scales

Day 12

Well I'm trying not be too scale oriented here. I associate that with going off the rails. By that I mean a sort of binge-purge cycle. I don't throw up. I just oscillate between behaving OTT trying to lose then OTT eating uncontrollably.

However.

I did jump on my dodgy home scales a day or so after I started this, and they showed my weight as a bit over the amount I recorded here. I can't remember exactly what. I'm bad with numbers. I tend to remember what they mean to me and not what they are. Also, I try to forget what I see on the digital scales I have at home because I know they're unreliable. They're probably roughly right. If I'm losing they will tend to show a lower figure one month to the next and so on, but that might show a variation of 2 kgs in 2 minutes! So if I'm losing and I see a lower figure than I've seen all week, I figure, I'm getting a bit lower - but I try not to take any one figure to heart. Also, I know those scales weigh me a bit higher than the scales at the health club and I think the health club ones are more accurate - they're a proper beam balance.
















So I didn't record my start weight as lower than what I saw so that I could fudge what I weigh. I just wanted a bit of consistency - I tried to use figures that correspond to what I actually weighed previously. Bottom line - today I got on them again, and according to my dodgy home scales and dodgy memory, I must have lost at least 2 kg so far, maybe more. And even though, I don't want to get too scale oriented, I was happy. It's too soon to measure the weight loss by clothes I can now fit into!
