I've been avoiding the scale since I weighed last week. Being at the baseball tournament all weekend made me insecure about my success.
I'd rather not give so much power to the scale but let's face it: It is the proof, indisputable proof of whether or not I am doing what I should be doing. Either right or wrong. If the damn thing moves in the wrong direction, I could potentially be in a funk over it all day. Even a quarter pound gain is enough to suck the happy right out of my day.
Eating out is something I enjoy but I can never be sure what EXACTLY is going in to the food I order. Too much salt? Too much sugar in the sauce? Who knows. And we did a lot of eating out over the weekend.
But, I am one half pound away from moving into the next set of 10's!!!!!!!!!!! By the end of the week I should be able to move the "big" weight over one more and start watching the little weight make it's way down from 9 to 1. Another set of 10's down, only 6 (ok maybe 7) more to go.
I wish I was comfortable enough to just post the actual numbers already but I find the actuality of it so appalling, like how did I get here? I just can't type the numbers. I imagine once I'm very, very far removed from these current numbers, I won't have a problem owning up to them here.
For today, I'm happy to report that one more 1/2 pound loss will put me into that next set of 10s. I'm thrilled.

Woo Hoo! Go Momma Go!
good stuff! its amazing after slip ups you still see the scales going down!
dont hide behind the number. be proud its going down, if you post it then it becomes real so feel you are forced to make sure it goes down. lol
I know how you feel about posting real number. I believe on my journal I have posted a real number on actual weight lost and a real clothing size. But, only in a locked post to only two people, one being my best, closest friend, has my actual weight and has my progress the last few months.
Just a couple of weeks ago did I actually for the first time, probably ever did I tell my husband what I actually weighed and what I have lost. It was because he was touting that he'd lost 10 pounds. It just made me so angry, and I had to make it obvious the hard work and what I've done and make a point to him.
