Don’t Ask!!!

Okay, nobody do it!!!  I swear, I will throw something at ya!!  :)  Nobody ask how the weightloss is going…it’s not!!!  And so…I have decided to take a hiatus from the scale…but not in that bad “I don’t want to face the horror” denial kind of way…  It is more like the “Protecting my sanity and the health of those around me because I am busting my butt and the scale is still moving in the other direction!!!!”  I have had several meltdowns in the past few days…mostly do to pulling my hair out over the puzzle that is my body.  I am doing the very best that I can…still working the PNP program…still exercising with Pilates, Yoga, and Crossramp and Treadmill work as well.  The above mentioned scale problem has led to some nasty emotional eating episodes so I am taking a new tactic.  I am freeing myself from the weigh ins.  (Actually, it will be quite difficult since I am pretty hooked on checking my weight)  It is seriously not helping right now and I need to keep myself as positive as possible.  I am only three weeks out from stopping some meds so that could still be a factor…  I have examined the possibility of too high a fat content in my diet so I have switched to olive oil, and started eating more salmon.  I am doing everything that I can possibly think of to do and I have to just free myself from the stress of the scale telling me it isn’t good enough or worse, that it is sending me in the other direction from where I want to go.  So!  How has everybody been???
