I used to do that too, until one day I realised what was happening ..... I was angry at the scales, but I was punishing ME ...

Scales, and ketone strips and measuring tapes are inanimate, senseless objects. They're incapable of feelings or emotions. Yet we give them so much power over us. Time to take the power back into our own hands. If something's making you feel bad about yourself, stay away from it for a while ..

Anne, you know you feel better when you come here to visit us. Why not start your own journal in the Bootcamp/Journal forum?? I know you won't get the chance to post an entry every day, but it will do you some good, and while you're there, check out everyone else's journal too ... sometimes you will have something to add or some precious insight of your own that will help another ... and I can tell you from personal experience, THAT is an excellent way to keep you on the path...

Look forward to hearing from you again,

Doreen
