Weight
is an instant and direct measure of why we are on the Diet 1.
You
may be a bit out of breath on the stairs or can't run anymore. Maybe
you are not as flexible as you once were, or like me, the bones below
the waist are getting tired of the strain.
There's
dozens of signs that you need to do something, but they are all for
the most part arbitrary, and can't be nailed down without a visit to
a specialist, and some pricey tests.
But
sitting right there in a corner of your bathroom, usually with other
stuff piled on top, is an instant and reasonably precise way to gauge
your health and diet.
That
trusty, unloved bathroom scale. Anytime, day or night, it will tell
you in big, clear numbers that, yes, you really have had too much to
eat. If you can believe the numbers, you've had too much to eat for
a really long time.
We've
been on the Diet 1 for three weeks now and it's time for
another step. A once a day step on the scales.
I've
held off on the scales while we got more important habits going,
because weight is just a measure, not a diet process like eating less
or exercising more. I don't want folks fretting if their weight
hasn't gone down in the last three weeks. Remember, this is a one
year project, to change Habits
for the rest of your life.
You more accurately could call it,
Behavioral
Modification,
but Diet 1 sounds better.
Weight
Back
to the point of this post. Starting today, we are going to weigh
ourselves once a day every day and mark it down.
I
suggest first thing in the morning, before you pile on a lot of
clothing and life gets too distracting. Always do it at the same
time every day.
That
number on the scale is going to go down really slow, and will even
pop up now and then. Don't sweat it.
Remember
The
scale is meant to be just another daily reminder of your Diet 1.
Just like the 1 on your thumbnail, and that pedometer on your belt.
A
reminder to take 1 bite, drink Water instead of soda,
and keep Walking.
Every
day we are making new habits that over time will make our future
better, and maybe even give us a few more years on this planet.
Think
about it.
