Doubts and control

Last night, I was reading some of your blogs (I have a bit of catching up to do!!!). Many of you are doing well!!! Congrats!

I'm experiencing some fears and doubts at the moment, as to whether I've lost any weight, or gained in the last few days. I've committed myself to staying away from the scale for a while (it was making me crazy). I need to let go of the obsessive-compulsive weighing and attempting to control everything. But that old familiar voice in my head is telling me that I cannot trust what I'm not controlling; that I cannot possible lose any weight apart from my eating-disordered ways.

This is not an easy argument to win.

I am praying to God for help.

OHHH My god yes. I know that my weight variation is a lot day to day, so I only pay attention to my weight on Sundays. Nevertheless it has taken me a long time to not weight myself every day. I'm on about twice a week in addition to my Sunday weigh-in, but this week I'm hoping not to weigh self again until then (I did last night... oops!). I guess I put on weight in my first year of uni, partly cos I had no scales then and now I'm a little bit paranoid it'll happen again (even though when I have been on holiday or had no scales for whatever reason, it's been FINE).

Good luck with your battle! I can't stay away from the scale. I'm trying to this morning for the first time, we'll see if it works.

I'll think of you for motivation :)
