BikiniBound's Diary

I'm sure you were not standing on that scale correctly, maybe lean a little to the right, that should do it. That's the reason I never weigh myself every day, I would get to obsessive about it and then depressed if it went up and down and up and down, MAN I couldn't handle that pressure, not in my world. LOL LOL You brave people who weigh in every day just amaze me!! I mean you are really amazing to me.!! Hey I saw Michigan won yesterday right?? I was switching back and forth to so many games, they all kind of ran together. LOL But I think you guys did fine! :) I tell you what, that Colts game yesterday about killed me. UGGGG, I'm tired of those guys, can't someone WOOP their BUTTS!!!! I really want some under dog to come in and kick them in the DING DING! that would certainly make me day!! Kind of like someone WOOPING LSU, I would party for that one!!! :rotflmao: Any houses being sold this week?

Yeah, Mich won--started out a bit shaky, but they got their act together in the 2nd half. Won 34-10. Paul and I are not so secretly hoping for a UGA v MICH NC game this year!! ahahahaaha. Ok, it's very unlikely, but it IS possible..haha. See his diary for my analysis of what would need to transpire in the next few weeks in order for this to happen. Your Sooners would have to lose another game, for one thing. :eek:

Probably not going to sell any houses this week, but ya never know.:)

Not a bad day, but I could still eat more. I've stayed up working on the Christmas Challenge. I'm having fun, but I've gotta get to bed so I can get up at the crack of dawn tomorrow. The crack of dawn would be 7:45am. :D Hopefully I'll be able to get a nap in at some pt, b/c I already missed out on my 8hrs today, and I'll be lucky to get 6hrs tonight. BB needs her beauty sleep...haha. I need ALL I can get!! :rotflmao:

Wishing everyone a splendid day tomorrow.:)
 
I'm not worried or sad about the half lb. But I have to weigh myself everyday b/c 1. the curiosity kills this cat, and 2. It keeps me accountable. Otherwise, I'll say, "wtf, I'll eat this massive thing of (insert naughty food item here) b/c I don't have to weigh in until 5 days from now."

Ya know, I know I'll never change you. I've been trying to change people wrt this subject for years and it simply doesn't work. We are too weight-minded as a society.... it's like me paddling against an incoming tidal wave.

But you say 'curiosity kills the cat.'

Curiosity of what?

Water fluctuations? Bowel accumulation?

What interests you about that stuff? Daily weigh-ins certainly don't let you know what's happening on the fat loss front.

To add, you say it 'holds you accountable.' Aren't there other, healthier ways to be accountable.... such as long term thinking, visualization, seeing the big picture, focusing on short-term goals, completing daily checklists? Anything really?

The reason I'm so against it is quite simple. I see time and time again on the various forums people complaining about being up a lb or 2 on a given day and sometimes it seems to be devastating. Even those that don't treat like a catastrophic event still make quite a big deal about nothing.

To me, that's as crazy as drinking 2 gallons of water and stepping on the scale and saying, "Oh no!!!! I'm getting fat."

Putting such an emphasis on a pointless number simply isn't mentally healthy IMO. Longer term trends of this measurement certainly hold value. Daily fluctuations though, not so much.

Oh, and good morning. :)
 
Amen to that!! It took me over a year but I finally have been converted and am a believer...

Yes, I have to agree with Steve and Mal on this topic also, I think getting on the scale everyday is more an obsessive compulsive, because it takes longer than a day to obtain any fat or muscle mass that might stick around, and I don't know about all those others that weigh daily, but it's what started me on the obsession of not eating hardly anything just so I COULD SEE those numbers go down. I'm not saying everyone is like that, please don't think that, because I'm not saying that at all, I'm just saying it made me obsessive to the extreme and then I felt like I failed because it was up and well shit who needs to feel bummed out every other day just because a scale is screwing with you three days a week, it's not worth it and once I stopped weighing in daily I got healthier, my mind set changed and I became a much better person to be around, ask anyone that knows me!! The daily weigh in lasted approximately 30 days and the worst part is, I lost about that in weight too, SICK thank gosh that was over 13 years ago, and I'll never forget about it! LESSON LEARNED!!
 
You know me, girl.... I'm with homeboy, Mankini Magnifico, there.



Daily Weigh ins = Too Many Mindfucks

My mind's perverted as it is. I don't need too many. ;) Lurve you.

If I was getting all upset about daily fluctuations, I could all of your points. However, I rarely get upset. Usually, the only time I get upset is if it's been over a week and the scale hasn't moved in the right direction. Yesterday, being up a half pound did not upset me. Slight irritation would be a better term. But I am very aware of daily fluctuations in water weight, glycogen, shit etc. So I know that if I'm up 2lbs from the day before, and my cals have been good--I know it's not 2lbs of fat, but two lbs of something that will probably be gone in a day or two. I don't get upset.

I need instant gratification. That's what I say by curiosity. If I have lost a lb, I don't want to wait 4 days to find out. This way works well for me, and I have no intention of discontinuing my daily weighing. It may not work for you, and I have no problem with that. I don't think everyone should weigh daily--especially if they can't handle the fluctuations. I can, however.

Now, after having said all that:



228.5 this morning! Goodbye 230s!

Now see, if I only weighed in on Fridays, I'd have to go 4 more days without knowing this good news. :D You know what irritated me more than gaining that .5lb yesterday?? Coming in here all excited about my 1.5lb loss today and seeing these posts against my daily weighing. :mad: To each their own, I say.;)

6 more lbs and I'll have to post before and current pics. :eek::eek:
 
Ummmm can I get a pic of just your boobs? I'll give you a dollar if you do. LMAO!

On a serious note......

:grouphug:

Telling me to take a chill pill is supposed to make me feel better!!?? :puke:

Haha! I love these new smilies.

I know you meant to make me feel better--and I did--until the chill pill comment. But it's all good. Maybe I DO need one (or two). :chillpill::chillpill:

Thanks, Tammy. I think maybe the low, low cal dieting is catching up with ya. Perhaps your metabolism has adjusted to living off 1200-1300 calories per day. I say up them to maintainance for a week and then don't go any lower than 1400-1500.:banghead:
 
LOL I think I was just drawn to that amicon, LOL LOL something about the chill these are freaken cool!! :willy_nilly: HELP, I cant' get out of this mess!! damn it! I'm just going to shut up, I've dug myself in deep again! I SORRY! :banghead:

I'm sorry! Now we both feel bad. :cry::cry: I love ya darlin'!! It's all water under the bridge. :)
 
Hey, I also weigh in daily. I do it because without it, I cheat WAY to much, knowing I wont have to see the results for awhile. With the daily weigh in I am much more careful, knowing I will see my screw ups in a day or so. Its the only way to keep me on track.

Like you, I don't let small daily changes upset me. I also only use my once a week dietician weigh in as "official" for my ticker, etc. That way I am not changing my weight every other day.
