To Weigh or Not to Weigh?
Example: There are better weighs to measure success!Doris had been on and off of diets for decades. When she lost weight, she felt like a success, regardless of the nutrition in her eating recently. Losing weight was what mattered. If she gained weight, no matter HOW HEALTHY she had been eating, she felt like a failure. As she did more reading, she realized that MANY things affect her weight. Water retention, reactions to medication, hormonal changes, and so many things would cause her weight to go up or down. Gradually she realized that her eating was only one factor in her daily weight. She also realized that she was driving herself crazy hoping on the scale all the time. WHY was she doing that? Hummm? That is a good question. Doris discovered that she was looking to the scale for a measure of success. Was there some other way to measure success that was not so emotionally draining? Was there another way that would not make her feel so out of control and hopeless? Yes, Doris decided to write down everything she ate. Then she would know if she was successful at healthy eating. Well ... that did not work. She began to feel like she was back on the same old program that had not worked the last seven times she had tried it. There must be a better way. So Doris decided to encourage herself. She would give herself a green star every time she ate a nice amount of vegetables in a day. She gave herself a red star when she ate more fruits. This was cool. She really enjoyed seeing all the stars on her calendar. She realized she was choosing fruits and veggies more often because of this system for appreciating her success. This worked for Doris. |
