Fat Women vs. Digital Scales

I think of my digital scale as a self-inflicted instrument of torture. I can't tell you how many I've thrown away and then bought new ones. I have developed a fear of the numbers it shows me. If you are a fat woman, you understand. Seldom in my life has getting on a scale made me feel just peachy keeno.

So why do it? Getting weighed is a way of keeping track of our progress. But it's a method that is loaded with the history of our unsuccessful attempts. Having the desire to lose weight has been with me all of my years. My compulsion for losing weight is created and driven by the habits I formed across my lifetime prodded by the media and by their standards of body size that are impossible for most to achieve. It's driven by the beliefs of my parents who were also educated by the media and taught me those same mistakes. Here are three ways to keep track of your weight loss program that create no getting-on-the-scale angst.

Using A Tape Measure.

* You can create a spreadsheet with your starting measurements.

* Decide how often you will measure.

* Write down the new measurements and tally up the losses.

* Celebrate those losses.

The Seatbelt Method. I have a new way of checking for weight loss and when I use this method, I always feel like celebrating. I have a small plastic clip on the seatbelt in my SUV that keeps that darn thing away from my neck. When I clip the seatbelt in, and then loop it through that plastic clip and pull it as tightly as I can, I then make a mark on the seatbelt itself with a ballpoint pen. After several weeks, I check it again and revel in my progress.

The Two-Sizes Down Method. Now this one takes a good sense of humor and if you're a fat woman, I know you have one.

* Buy a pair of jeans that is two sizes smaller than what you now wear.

* Decide how often you will try them on.

* When you do, use a tape measure to measure the distance between the button and the button hole on the waistband.

* If you are measuring monthly, and you are using a new Mind Model to think into place your new size, you'll see a difference. And when that puppy actually buttons, hoo yah!

I hold in my mind the new picture of myself. I sense that picture throughout my daily doings. Slowly but surely, that picture manifests itself on the outside of my body. It's a novel, mental method that doesn't involve dieting. I promise you this: just knowing in inches (vs. in pounds) that I've lost weight feels so much better.

On a scale of "Well, I'll get over it" to "I hate myself to the core" how embarrassing is it.....?

to have only one pair of pants and that pair was confiscated and buried in your yard by your supposedly loyal dog?

You never get over something like that.
