My routine: The Scale

What I think about weighing daily.

The reason I began weighing daily was to help motivate me to stick to my plan daily and to monitor my progress. What I noticed was that my weight fluctuated greatly daily and that I would get so discouraged from seeing the number that I would be tempted to quit my plan. I decided that I cannot risk that kind of pain daily. I do not need the scale to motivate me to follow my plan. I do not need to monitor my progress using that measure daily. I'd much rather use the Calendar System. For now I am weighing after two weeks. If I need to I will push it back to every month or even every three months. I need my self esteem to be high in order to stick to my plan.

The calendar system:

I use a large dry erase calender that shows four months at a time. I record a check mark on each day I walk, a heart for each day I take vitamins, a star for each day I do my affirmations.
