hiding the scale

I've decided that starting today, i need to hide the scale!

WHY???
How can i do battle with the scale, how can i develop a battle a game plan if i don't know what the number on the scale is?

Well, I've become a little obsessed with the scale. I have to keep in mind that my ultimate goal is to be HEALTHY. part of being healthy included being at a lower weight, but that is not the only measure of health. But there are times when i get completely overwhelmed with the number I see on the scale in the morning.

If it's moved, i wonder if why it wasn't a great loss. and if the scale starts moving the other direction it gets me a little crazy.

So I've decided to develop a new game plan. The scale will only work 1 day a week.
I think that this will actually be a good battle plan because it will force me to stay focused on my program and stay focused on eating only the items that I should eat, on exercising regularly and consistently.

When I was weighing every morning, i was letting myself slide a little bit. That little piece of chocolate, that slice of bread, that extra helping at dinner. It might not seem like a lot, but it will catch up and and it will become a habit, a BAD habit. So I'm going to focus on creating healthier and better habits.

Drinking water.
Eating 6 balanced meals a day.
Exercising everyday, for 20 minutes.
Weighing only 1 day a week.
Being conscious when I eat.

This is my new battle plan!
