Weigh Yourself!
Whoever says don't weigh yourself is full of crap! Buy a scale, take a deep breath, and get your fat ass on there! Don't buy one of those talking ones, you don't need everyone in the house to know your business and you will end up hating that evil person living in your scale. As painful as it is, you need to know how much you really weigh. How else will you be able to gage your progress and brag about it later?
My scale also measures your percentage of body fat, you need damp feet to get an accurate reading (purchased at Target). Do not get one of these if you have a pacemaker, it measures through little electrical charges! Even after all my weight loss I'm still 55% body fat, yikes, 30% is normal.
I keep my scale in my bedroom and weigh myself right after my morning relief and before I go to bed. I usually weigh about two pounds less in the morning and about two pounds more on Monday mornings. We all go off our diets a bit on the weekends, but if I'm good on Monday those extra two pounds are gone by Tuesday. I also keep a weekly log of my weight and measurements. Its nice to see the numbers go down!
Don't get discouraged, it takes a while to see progress, but once you see some pounds come off, it totally motivates you. If your weight goes up, it just means you have to cut back a little more and work a little harder! You will see plateaus where your weight stands still. I just went through a month of that, but now finally, 5 pounds less. Keep at it, you can do it!!
