I accidentally weighed myself today. I know this probably sounds impossible, but I did it. After several months of avoiding the Body Test on my Wii Fit Plus, I figured it was probably time to take a measurement. I figured I would leave it on BMI and it would say whether or not I had gone down without showing me any actual numbers but I was wrong. (So I guess you could say I weighed myself on purpose, I just didn't want to see the number...so imagine my surprise when it showed me anyway... *sigh*)
Now...considering I am working my butt off trying to lose weight, you'd think I would WANT to weigh myself to know how I was doing, right? Actually, no I don't. Three years ago when I decided it was time to lose weight and get in shape I didn't even own a scale. I just started eating better and exercising...and the weight came off all on it's own and I didn't know how much, but it didn't matter. All I knew is that it was time to go buy new clothes after having my pants hit the floor one night while carrying Braden down the hall (try shuffling down the hall carrying a 100 lb. kid with pants around your ankles...it's pretty tricky)
Then one day I felt like I needed to go buy a scale so I could actually see what kind of progress I was making... WOW what a mistake that was! Once I owned a scale, I discovered my very own electric fence...you know, that magic number that you just can't get below no matter how hard to try? I could get right THERE...one pound away...and bounce right back up. The weight loss came to a complete halt. After getting zapped so many times, I sorta quit trying. I because a slave to the scale, and my mood was based on the results (or lack thereof) every single week. So the scale had to go away again. Until today.
The good news? I am down 10 lbs. since the last time I weighed on the Wii (it's been about 2 months...but slow and steady wins the race, right?)
Bad news? My Wii still called me obese and my Mii is still big, round and fat. Oh well. The line actually moved down, which is definitely good. I didn't see any "actual weight" number...so I'm hoping that by the time I "accidentally" weigh again I will have surpassed my electric fence and I will finally be free.
Way to go! I so know how you feel & after 3 weeks, of what I considered hard work I'm down just over 3 lbs. I know it will work...I know it will work. You keep up the good work & your mii will be shrinking :)
