Every morning I have a horrible ritual. It involves Bryan's alarm clock going off, and him getting up and turning the lights on, and pulling the covers off of me....this was my request. I absolutely hate getting up in the morning, but I feel the need to work out before work, so I made it Bryan's job to see that this gets done, so he gladly forces me out of bed to work out each morning. I then wander into the bathroom, and step on the scale......this is the horrible part of the morning. I look down at that stupid number on the scale and let it determine my attitude for the next couple of hours. If it is a good number I am really happy, and I gladly put on my work out clothes and head to the gym. If it is a bad number, I am immediately in a bad mood and reluctantly go to the gym wondering why I even bother. So, I think I need to go on a scale fast, but I have been determining all morning how to go about it since I have pretty much NO will power in this area, believe me, I try to not step on the scale, but there is some kind of magnetic force between my feet and the scale. I have will power in other areas.....for example I am really good at sugar fasts. I have gone since July 20th until now (with the exception of my birthday and anniversary which are great excuses in my book) without eating any sugar. Bryan and I also decided not to eat out at all until out trip to California which is next week, and we have done amazing at that. But, for some reason I cannot keep myself from that stupid scale, so here are the options that I have come up with:
1. Hide the scale from myself (I immediately ruled this one out because all it will do is make my morning ritual take longer. I know myself well enough to know that I will just go to my hiding spot every day and dig out the scale and weigh myself anyway.)
2. Have Bryan hide the scale from me. (He would gladly do this because he thinks it is silly that I weigh myself everyday)
3. Test my will power and see if I really can just not step on the scale.
So, after thinking about this, I think I will go with option 2....if that doesn't work maybe I will just throw that stupid scale in the trash....no more bad mood mornings! Wish me luck!
