Everyday is a Monday

I remember ignoring the scale. Planning on starting on Monday. Monday coming and maybe sticking to it for a day or two then messing up and letting myself lose a week or two just completely having whatever I wanted.

Now I am far from perfect -- far far from it. But I never let complete days get away from me. I always start my mornings back with lots of water and a protein shake.

So in that sense everyday is a Monday. Its always my day to make good choices. I'm not going to lose days, weeks, or months to my food addiction.

Yes. I cringe when I read someone advising others to stay away from the scale. Ignoring the scale allowed us to become obese to begin with.

Part of why I come here every day is to keep my head in the game. I'm not perfect either, but I make adjustments constantly. Burying our heads in the sand always leads to trouble.

I feel like just because I am at/below goal I cannot stop making this a top focus of my life. I weigh myself every day and read this board 9 out of 10 days. It needs to be a primary part of your life....the end!
