My thoughts on scales and weight

The dreaded scale.  It's only purpose is to measure, but for me there is anxiety and fear associated with this simple device.  I have been weighing myself every day for nearly 1 1/2 years.  Between Thanksgiving and Christmas I ate more than usual and definitely more carbs.  As I saw the scale rise a few pounds I began to feel anxious and fearful.  I thought if skipped a few days then I could drop those pounds, hop back on the scale and avoid feeling disappointed in myself.  The few days turned into a week then I came up with the great idea to go through the month of January and then weigh myself.  None of this was helpful!  Deep down I knew this was a mistake, but I was scared.  Fear is a success killer.  What did I find after a month of skipping the scale..........I gained 10 pounds!  Oh my, this was shocking!  I never thought I gained so much weight.   My opinion is than weighing yourself every day is helpful.  Keeping track of how foods affect your weight on a daily basis, especially for women over 50 is necessary.  My plan for now on is to weigh myself daily forever.  Losing weight is so difficult as we age and I can't afford to back track.
