Here are your six steps to a drama-free weigh-in.
1. Review your week by skimming your daily plans, assessment, calendar, journal, and memory recall of the week.
2. Count the number of overeats you had.
3. Note all other data, including body measurements, progress photos, journaling your observation of areas of progress, and areas for improvement around your eating habits. Note your levels of energy, patterns around sleep and water, and the emotional weather of each day.
4. Assess all of the data above and take your best guess as to what the scale will say based on your actual habits around food for the past week.
Based on your projection, journal about how you want to think and feel about your week on purpose before you even get on the scale.
6. Take your weight. Compare that with your weight guess and assess any differences. Is there anything you may have overlooked, or do you need to look closer into your week to figure out why the scale and your guess are different?
If your guess and the scale result are within about half a pound of each other, you're doing pretty well matching your actual experience to your body's response to your habits around food.
Try this 6-step process to help you create a data-driven rather than a drama-driven relationship with weighing in.
