Stupid Scale!

So Day #3 of the Game On! Diet and I have only had 1 perfect day...yesterday. Why was today not so perfect? Because I broke a rule. A minuscule rule, but a rule nonetheless.

When reading the book and the rule about not weighing yourself more than once in one day I thought, "who would weigh themselves more than once in a day?" Well, I would. I know this because I did it, just today.

The game requires you weigh yourself once a week, on the morning of your day off. But it recommends you weigh yourself daily because studies show that dieters who weigh themselves daily lose twice the weight compared to dieters who weigh themselves weekly. Interesting. So I chose to go the daily route.

The book discourages weighing yourself more than once a day to avoid the obsession with the scale. Some people (obviously people like me), tend to obsess over details like "how much do I weigh at this time of day" and "how much will I weigh after I pee". I would lie and say I wasn't the "obsessive" type, but I am. I am that person who obsesses over the details. Resultantly, I lost 1 of my possible 100 point today. Bummer.

On the bright side...I've lost 2 pounds since starting the diet Monday and am now down to 138.6. :)
