Thought for the Day--April 21, 2011: Step Away from the Scale...

I think the hardest thing is losing weight. That's the hardest thing more than anything else.

--Aretha Franklin

When you have mastered numbers, you will in fact no longer be reading numbers, any more than you read words when reading books. You will be reading meanings.

--W. E. B. Du Bois

I'm still working on my obsession with jumping on the scale every few minutes.

It's just a number, but if it doesn't move downward, I become a bit distressed.

So why not avoid the scale altogether, that is, until my weekly weigh-in at Weight Watchers?

This topic is also covered on Eat Smaller Portions, perhaps more in depth.

Later, my cyber friends.
