I go through time periods where I weigh excessively and periods where I hide the scale. When I weigh daily, I unhealthily obsess over the number and let that morning's scale reading affect my entire mood and entire day. When I hide the scale, I gain weight. I don't know what the middle ground of this is, and maybe it doesn't exist for me.

This morning's scale check was more of the same -- a mood killer. Yesterday I ate within my calorie range, drank all my water, did not have alcohol (no small feat, since I work in a brewery), took my medication (including my B12), did a Cize workout, and went to bed at a decent hour slightly hungry. This morning - gained a pound.

I know this is not typical, and not what my body's reaction will be to a more healthy lifestyle over time. Just have to keep going and try to stay off that stupid scale.
