A Just Balance And Scale (Prov. 16:11)
posted @ 8:43 am in [ Overeaters ]

It really pains me to weigh-in daily. It goes against the grain of all I have been taught. But here I am, a new me willing to learn! And perhaps, just perhaps, you will come to see how my weight is matching my faith.
 Latest study supports daily weigh-ins, but issue is still being debated
By ROSIE MESTEL, Los Angeles Times
….”We talk to people about monitoring calories daily, about monitoring their exercise daily. … if we’re asking them to do those … on a daily basis, then why not add this other recommendation?”
It was so foreign to me when a fantastic member who is our only maintainer named Annette first brought the subject of daily weigh-ins to my attention. I read, I searched and I said, “Ouch.” I realized that it is not about vainglory or obsession as I have had presented to me, but it is about ACCOUNTABILITY!
We do what we can to not just dictate our mood daily based on the scale, but to hold us accountable to all who are looking to us to trailblaze.
I am doing this differently. I am experimenting. I knew how to lose weight but I didn’t know how to keep it off. I believe you can teach an old dog new tricks.
