Scales: Friend or Foe?

Well after the week I had with my girl-friend visiting from australia, I haven't had the guts to jump on the scales again. I am so scared that the indicator has gone up.

This is the worst part of dieting as the scales are either your friend or your enemy and it changes depending on what they are saying to you...hehehe just like a true friend. Although we all expect friends to be honest and give their honest opinion we can sometimes avoid approaching them or sharing because we are deeply afraid they will say something we DONT like. That's where having multiple friends are good...Although, we can still have that one friend to give us the 'honest truth', as hard as it is at times, we should also have our other friends who simply help us to see things in a different light.

With this in mind I can see why people say NOT to use the scales as your ONLY indicator. Although they can be motivating, more often then not they are entirely un-motivating. Thus the predicament I find myself in now...hehehe! Taking measurements of your thighs, hips, waist, and upper body is like having friends that give you a different perspective of the truth.

I will get on the scales, eventually. Perhaps after next week when I have had a few social visits with my 'other friend' the lateral trainer to try to loose those few extra pounds that, I know I have put on...but 'seeing is believing' and I would rather NOT see it on the scales right now...lol.
