What I learned from #ScaleFreeSeptember

Blog

For the month of September, I decided it was time to give up one of my strongest addictions: the scale.  I had become obsessed with the number so much so that I was weighing in multiple times a day.  It had even started to determine how the day would go.

Low Weight= Good Day

High Weight = Bad Day

Recognizing that it had become an issue in my life, I decided that on September 1st I would do my monthly weight and measurements, and the scale would be off limits for the rest of the month.

It started off great! September 1st brought a new low weight, and I felt really good going into this challenge.

And…that’s about where the feeling good ended for a while.

ob·ses·sion
noun
  1. the state of being obsessed with someone or something.
    • an idea or thought that continually preoccupies or intrudes on a person’s mind.

    The scale and I have a complicated relationship.  For those that follow me on Instagram, I shared that I hit my lowest weight in 8 years right before leaving on our vacation.  YAY, right?

However, I’ve become obsessed with seeing it come back off, and getting back to that milestone I had reached. (It hasn’t yet…)

    Because of this, I’m declaring September #ScaleFreeSeptember
