Weigh In: 307.4 (new scale)
I'm just going to deal with the weight that I am, and realize that I can't do anything about it. The reason that I got the new scale is, I needed to see an exact number. The balanced weight scale in the gym allowed for too much flexibility, so this new digital is just what I've needed - an honest representation of what I weigh. I've gotten over the fact that different scales say different things, and I've dealt mentally with the higher number than I've been seeing.
But, as others have said, and I eluded to yesterday - I own that 45 pounds that I lost. No one can take that away from me.
I've been frustrated lately because of this whole "reaching 300 before the anniversary" thing. Hell, last month is was "under 300 by 30", which ended in March. I've been fighting for this damn number for two months now, and I'm still falling short.
The bottom line is, I'm going to get there. I'm not going to sit here and say that I'm not frustrated about it. If it wasn't for this blog and the following I'm getting on it - I probably would have binged the hell out of this week. McDonalds for one meal is one thing, but this is the time where I'd order the two large pizzas, and mow down about 2000 calories before the pizzas made it to my door.
It's easy for me to tell others to 'be patient', and that 'as long as you work hard, you're going to hit the goal', and that 'it doesn't matter when you hit the goal, as long as you hit it'. Giving advice is a piece of cake - it's the TAKING of that advice is tough.
So, I'm doing what I need to do. Working out, eating smarter - and that's all I can do. The number will fall.
Side note: I weighed in at 307.4 this morning, and I just stepped on the scale and got a 311.
The weight-loss God is testing me. I'll beat this.

Don't step on the new scale more than once a day. And do it at the same time whenever you do step on it. Otherwise, you'll just add undue stress to this whole process.
