To Do or Not to Do, That is the Question
I wake up and stare at my alarm clock through the haze of the impending morning. That all too familiar pang of desire grips me and tells me to do it, but I know I can't.
What would happen? Would it be so bad? Why can't I just do it today and then never again? My cheeks get hot and I push myself out of bed and straight into the shower ignoring the urge to do it. I won't do it. Not today.
Coach Stoney told me to have it hidden from me. I did. Everyone tells me it doesn't matter, that what I see is more important than it. I know this to be true.
What am I talking about you wonder? THE SCALE.
I know how I feel and I know how my clothes fit so why do I need the validation (or invalidation) from some arbitrary digital read out on a man-made metal device? I don't.
In the past, getting on the scale and not seeing the number I thought should be there would be the perfect justification to stop whatever "diet" I was on and dive face first into a bag of candy. But not now. I have and will continue to make changes in my health for the better.
So, I have resolved not to get on the scale until my 12 weeks are over. My body is changing and I finally enjoy exercising after many years of not even liking to contemplate the subject much less do it. Onward and upward while the whereabouts of my scale remain unknown except to my 12 year old son who hid it from me. 
With love,
T23
Transforming23. Gracias por tus comentarios que son muy reales y los comparto contigo. Hoy al igual que tú yo he decido cambiar mi nombre porque a través de ello podré ser otra persona, hoy también igual que tu, mi nombre es: transformación, porque estoy decidido a cambiar física y espiritualmente y tratar de tener un mejor sentido de servicio para todos los que me rodean; hoy mi nombre también es salud, porque he decidido tener un cuerpo sano con una alimentación sana; he decidido llamarme también: servicio, porque a través de transformarme podré ayudar a otros a que logren sus metas, estoy seguro que la transformación de toda persona es cambiando su nombre por aquello que queremos y deseamos ,pero que aún no lo vemos materializado, porque el hecho de que no lo veamos no quiere decir que no está, simplimente lo crees o no lo crees.
Bravo T23! That's a very important message to a lot of people who rely on their scale to guide them.
You have progressed leaps and bounds with not playing the scale game to changing your figure with consistent and persistent workouts. Coach is proud of you following through and inspiring those around you!
Thanks T23 for putting this into words. That a scale can have such an influence on our mindset is amazing. I am having my daughter hide it tonight! - Gail
Brilliant! Very well written and very good insight on a subject I think we can all relate to! I love that you have had a transformation of mind in that you are now liking to exercise again. That is health consciousness awakening in you! ~Bill
