To Weigh or Not To Weigh...That Is The Question

Everyday I stand on the scales and look at my weight....sometimes it's good sometimes it's bad. Today I got on and I was up 2lbs. I am now having a fat day and feel so despondent. Yesterday I really felt like I watched what I was eating, looked at the calories of things and had a healthy dinner in the evening. I just get so frustrated.

So my question is this...do I just look at the scales once a week and not monitor my progress or do I keep on looking and have fat days sometimes but at least know that I am going up..or down?

Now I know your weight can be affected by so many things, the type of food you have eaten, the amount of liquid you have drunk, your bathroom habits, what time of the month is it is ( ladies only!!) e.t.c I am just in such a pickle about what to do.

I do all my exercise, yesterday I did my 45 minutes of Zumba and 20 half pressups, this morning I did 30 minutes of toning exercise, tonight I am doing 25 minutes of resistance band work outs....so I am doing the exercise. I am watching what I eat but maybe I have to not look at just the calories and look at the capacity of food. Aghhhhhhhhhhhh who knows...... my mind is just going from one thing to another and all because I have gone up 2lbs.

I think this week and next I will not get on the scales until Monday. I know I am doing the right things to lose weight... I also know my body reflects weight very very quickly. Over Biggy's bday weekend (4 days long) I put on 10lbs....10lbs in 4 days. I weighed myself 2 days after and had gone down 5lbs..but still 5lbs in 4 days is huge...admittedly all we did was eat and eat and eat. But that’s how quickly my body reflects what I eat.

Anyway I am going to stop grumbling, focus and just get on with things...we will see what happens next week and reassess the situation then!
